JENNIFER
I can’t do that to you,
Jennifer. That’s my Jennifer.
You know how much I liked
her when I first met her.
Then she started to kill me.
But that’s actually not—
wasn’t your fault.
It was somebody
that you were
dealing with that
wasn’t so good.
Right?
I never blamed you for that.
I know the good.
But this one you like,
right, Jennifer?
POCKETS
You’re going to always have
pockets of something.
What—
you’re going to have people,
like the one-armed man
who blew up a restaurant.
You’re going to have pockets.
TREMENDOUS NUMBERS
1
And we have
tremendous—we have
tremendous
numbers to come,
because these are real—
this isn’t like in the old days,
when you had a lot of
numbers that didn’t mean
anything. You have
tremendous potential,
tremendous numbers
to come.
2
Now we’re going to start
bringing numbers down.
We also have tremendous numbers
with regard to hurricanes and fires
and the tremendous forest fires
all over. We had very big numbers,
unexpectedly big numbers.
California does a horrible job
maintaining their forests.
They’re going to have to start doing
a better job or we’re not going
to be paying them. They are doing
a horrible job of maintaining
what they have.
And we had big numbers on
tremendous numbers
with the forest fires
and obviously the hurricane.
THEM
We called
them and let
them know.
They were able to nab
this very vicious gang
of terrorists. They got
them. I assume
they’re someplace right
now
that maybe you
don’t even want to know
about. I don’t know what
they did with
them. O.K.? And
I don’t care.
CHANGE
So no, I have—
I don’t think I have
to do anything. I have a
—you know, I have
—I have had a good—
now, that can
always change,
but I have had
a good relationship
with Kim Jong
Un, and I’m not
saying it won’t
change. It could
change. The whole
situation could
change.
