REMARKS

Remarks by President Trump at a Hanukkah Reception
Issued on: December 12, 2019

East Room

December 11, 2019
8:32 P.M. EST

THE PRESIDENT: Thank you very much everybody. Wow, what a crowd. You know, I did this a little while ago with a very similar group of people. Some are here for the second time — Ron — but that’s good. That means you love Israel and you love everything we’re doing. And I’m very honored to have you all here. Thank you very much.

{snip}

And we have a man that I have, by the way, great respect: Mark Levin. Where is Mark Levin? (Applause.) What a show. Where is Mark? Where is Mark? He’s over here. Lee, send him up here, will you, please? Mark, come on up. Come on up here. Mark — the great Mark Levin. What a show. You know he had a very successful radio show. Who knew that face was going to work so well on television? (Laughter.) Number-one show.

Come on, Mark, wherever you may be. Where are you? I saw him. Is that Mark? Come on, Mark. Get your way up. (Applause.) Make a path. Like we used to say in the military, “Make a path.” “Make a path.” What a great guy. What a great show.

If I recall correctly, the actual phrase was "make a hole," but what would I know?

and has the same opinion. When I asked if politics were talked at work he said no.

So I have no idea where the military rank and file stand.

This fucking guy just cannot NOT lie.

He lies like we breathe - no thought, no plan, just pure lizard brain reflex that keeps going without conscious effort
