Trump Asked Point Blank About Starving Children In Gaza

While meeting with EU President Ursula von der Leyen in Scotland, President Trump was asked for his response to images of starving children in Gaza.

Transcript

00:00Mr. President, when you were in the Middle East, you talked about the images coming out of Gaza and starving kids.

00:06Those images are still going. Many of them are much worse. Thinner children, starving.

00:11What do you see or feel when you look at those images today?

00:14Well, it's terrible. You know, when I see the children, and when I see, especially over the last couple of weeks,

00:20and people are stealing the food, they're stealing the money, they're stealing the money for the food,

00:26they're stealing weapons, they're stealing everything. It's a mess.

00:29That whole place is a mess. The Gaza Strip, you know, was given many years ago so that they could have peace.

00:38That didn't work out too well. When Israel gave that up, whoever was the prime minister at the time,

00:46who I know who it was, but it was not exactly a very clever thing to do, because that was given

00:53so that they'd finally have peace, and it's actually made the situation worse.

00:57But we'll see what happens. I think Iran is acting up. I think that we have a lot of people acting.

01:04We have Venezuela acting up in a different way. They're sending, they continue to send people that

01:10we rebuff to our border. They continue to send drugs into our country. Venezuela, they've been very nasty,

01:17and we can't let that happen. But we, and we have other countries too. We do have, and this is just

01:25getting a little off subject, but we have now the safest border we've ever had. And I think in many

01:30respects, we probably have the most successful, and I say it all the time, every leader, when I went to

01:35NATO the other day, every leader said, you have the hottest country in the world. We have the hottest

01:41country in the world now. We're taking in hundreds of billions of dollars. We have the highest stock market we've

01:49ever had. We have the best numbers we've ever had. But we have hundreds of billions of dollars pouring into our

01:55country. And I think it's the hottest. And by the way, one year ago, our country was dead. We had a dead country because of an

02:04incompetent president and incompetent Democrats. All they know how to do is talk and think about

02:10conspiracy theories and nonsense. If they'd waste their time talking about America being great again,

02:17it would be so much nicer, so much easier, be very successful. But we were a dead country, and now we

02:24have the hottest country anywhere in the world. Yeah. Any other question?

02:26President Trump on this.
