President Trump Gaggles with Press at Joint Base Andrews, Oct. 26, 2026

We'll be going to a great place, Mississippi, and we're going to get Cindy Hyde-Smith elected. She's doing very well, I think. And we want to make sure she gets elected because she's a great senator. Moved from solid Republican to likely Republican. Well, I was. For Cindy Hyde-Smith. I don't know. I mean, I think she's doing very well, but I want to make sure she wins. She's a great person and she's a great senator. She loves Mississippi. She loves her city. Mr. President, you've made it very clear. The Press Well, it looked terrible to me. I thought it was a terrible look. And I didn't take sides, but it looked like another rigged election, frankly. I didn't take sides, but it was a terrible look for the world. It's another election. You know, elections have to be indisputable, and it looked very bad to me. I didn't take sides. I didn't endorse anybody or anything, but I watched election it looks so so corrupt. Sir what do you want to do about that sir? It's very clear that any non-citizen that votes would be automatically deported do you think that would clean up elections and should you say that at all of your rallies? Well I think so and we do that and we're starting that process and I'm also going to be issuing a million dollar a bonus or reward or whatever you want to call it for anybody that reports voter fraud leading to the arrest and conviction of somebody, we're giving that person a million dollars. On the Israel election, did Prime Minister Netanyahu ask you to give that second endorsement? Did he plead with you about that? No, I never spoke about it. It wasn't an endorsement. It was just, I put out both endorsements. I put out both. It was just a, I think he's done a very good job as prime minister under very trying conditions. Sir, can I ask you just on Brazil, just one more thing on Brazil. Do you want to do something about the election? Well, I'm not running Brazil. I'm running the USA. And I just thought that the election was, I like Lula. I get along with him very well. I just think it had a very bad look, the election, the way it was tabulated. You know, the extension given was very strange. Do you have further response to Obama who made fun of the Cheesecake Factory compared to the White House and your generation? You know, I've taken care of the White House. I fixed it with the finest artisans in the world. We've re-skinned it. It was in horrible shape. A lot of the ornaments and the things that were originally built on the White House were missing or damaged or gone for a long time. They were laying on the ground, in some cases. And it was in terrible shape. The exterior plaster was broken, cracked, and the painting was terrible. And I've reskinned the building beautifully with the highest, most talented people. Anywhere in the world, you're not going to find more talent. And the White House looks beautiful. And guys like Obama, they would pass the front door. They'd see the broken masonry. They'd see the broken — the beautiful pilasters that were all broken. For years, they were broken. And he wouldn't notice because he doesn't notice that. He doesn't notice dirt and filth that hadn't been cleaned, where the walls hadn't been cleaned for years. He doesn't notice areas that haven't been painted. So it's very easy for me to do. I do it very, very simply because it's my nature. I'm, you know, a very clean person. And the White House was in terrible shape. The White House is now in the best shape. It's been since 1792, when it was built. It's in beautiful shape. You take a look at it, it looks beautiful. And I'm proud to do it. I do it with five minutes a day, 10 minutes a day. I have the very talented people. They work there. Many of them are in Department of Interior. They work there. They've done a fantastic job. And you have to remember, the White House, we have to explain that to Obama, because he doesn't understand it, because he's not a smart guy, let me tell you. In my opinion, he's not smart at all, because the way he ran the country, only a stupid person would run the country like that. But we have to explain to Obama that the White House is a symbol of America, and it has to be maintained properly. It has to be painted, and the exterior plaster can't be falling off the walls. And the decorations and ornaments around the windows that are magnificent can't be on one side of the window and fall it off on the other side. So we took molds of the one side, and we put it on the other side, and we did a beautiful job. Very little money spent. It's not about money. It's about seeing. Guys like Obama don't see it. You don't see dirt. He doesn't see filth. He doesn't see broken ornaments on a building. The White House, to President Obama, is a symbol of America. It has to be clean. The columns can't be broken. The bricks can't be falling off from under the plaster. And for you to say it's a Cheesecake Factory, that just shows why you're a lousy President, right? Mr. President, do you have any thoughts of Machado coming back into the country? And do you think they're going to need a debt? We'll take a look at it.
