2 Scoops responds to tragedies and other topics
On the Las Vegas gunman:
"This was a sick person, but probably smart." He congratulated the police for acting so quickly, and said many of the victims he met "support what I do."
On the hurricane response:
"We got very high marks. We got A-pluses."
On Puerto Rico's problems before the storm:
Trump said the electric grid was a disaster. "They've got a lot of problems, and on top of that they get hit by two hurricanes."
On San Juan's mayor:
"We have a mayor of San Juan Puerto Rico who didn't attend meetings, who didn't work with FEMA, who really did not do a very good job, in fact did a very poor job, and she was the lone voice that we saw and of course that's the only voice the media wanted to talk to... she's not a capable person."
On criticism of him tossing paper towels into a crowd of victims:
"They had these beautiful, soft towels. Very good towels.... I was having fun, they were having fun. They said, 'throw 'em to me! Throw 'em to me Mr. President!"
On responding to tragedies:
"In one sense you hate to see it, but in another sense you feel like you can do a good job, you're helping people, so you feel good."
On Israel and Palestine:
"We're gonna work [toward a peace deal]... I want to give that a shot before I even think about moving the embassy to Jerusalem."
On the Middle East:
"The Middle East when I took over was a mess, and it's much less of a mess now but we have problems."
On the Iran deal:
"I can tell you I'm very unhappy with the deal.... They're literally causing trouble, predominantly in the Middle East. I believe they're funding North Korea.... that doesn't pertain to the deal but in my opinion it does because it's called the spirit of a deal.... You will see what I will be doing but Iran is a bad player and they will be dealt with as a bad player."
On the filibuster rule:
"They have to get rid of it... It's a death sentence. I told Mitch McConnell that the other day, and frankly" he's not there yet.
On his tax plan:
"I'm really focused on the middle class, and I'm really focused on companies because companies create jobs.... We're going to have the biggest tax cut in history."
