Mental acuity

Via Aaron Rupar. My transcription:

“Mr. President, is there an expected time frame that detainees will spend here — days, weeks, months? And does that have anything to do with the immigration judges you just spoke about being trained and staffed here?”

“When you say, eh, what was the first part of your question?”

“Is there a specific time frame you expect the detainees to spend here — days, weeks, months?”

“In Florida?”

“Yes, here in Alligator Alcatraz.”

“I’m going to spend a lot — look, this is my home state. I love it, I love your government, I love all the people around. These are all friends of mine, they know ’em very well. I mean, I’m not surprised that they do so well. They’re great people. Ron has been a friend of mine for a long time. I feel very comfortable in the state. I’ll spend a lot of time here. Eh, I want, eh, you know, for four years, I’ve got to be in Washington and I’m okay with it because I love the White House. I even fixed up the little Oval Office. I make it, it’s like a diamond, it’s beautiful, it’s so beautiful. It wasn’t maintained properly, I will tell you that, but even when it wasn’t, it was still the Oval Office, so it meant a lot. But I’ll spend as much time as I can here. You know, my vacation is generally here ’cause it’s convenient, I live in Palm Beach, it’s my home. And I have a very nice little place, nice little cottage to stay at, right? But we have a lot of fun, and I’m a big contributor to Florida, you know, pay a lot of tax, and a lot of people move from New York, and I don’t know what New York is going to do. A lot of people moved to Florida from New York, and it was for a lot of reasons, but one of them was taxes. The taxes are so high in New York, they’re leaving. I don’t know what New York is gonna to do about that because some of the biggest, wealthiest people and some of the people that pay the most taxes of any people anywhere in the world for that matter, they’re moving to Florida, and other places. So we’re going to have to help some of these states out, I think. But thank you very much. I’ll be here as much as I can. Very nice question.”
