Some of these are tweets and some are comments to Fox & Friends. **[Trump, Riding a North Korea High, Unloads on the F.B.I., Comey and Obama](https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/15/us/politics/trump-fbi-democrats-obama.html?hp&action=click&pgtype=Homepage&clickSource=story-heading&module=first-column-region®ion=top-news&WT.nav=top-news)** > [@](#): > > WASHINGTON — He assailed the “scum on top” of the F.B.I. who were out to get him. He suggested that a former aide did not lie even though he pleaded guilty to lying to investigators. And he distanced himself from his onetime campaign chairman hours before the aide was sent to jail. > > Reasserting himself on the Washington stage after a week spent overseas or out of sight, President Trump went on offense on Friday in his multifront war with investigators, eagerly framing a new Justice Department report as validation of his claim of a “deep state” conspiracy against him. > … > Even aside from Mr. Comey and the “total thieves” at the F.B.I., Mr. Trump mounted withering attacks on a variety of other favorite targets, including congressional Democrats, Barack Obama, Robert S. Mueller III, Canada’s prime minister, professional football players and the news media. At the same time, he extolled his warm relations with leaders of North Korea, China and Russia. > > “We’ve done more — I don’t say this in a bragging way, actually some of the haters actually say this — we’ve done more in 500 days, so now it’s 510 days, than any 500-day president, first term, by far,” he said at one point. “And that’s what I want to do, I want to really — you know, I got elected to make America great again, very simple.” > > Indeed, in case the message did not get through, Mr. Trump used the words “great” or “greatest” 48 times. He dismissed contrary information and blamed any setbacks on Mr. Obama or the Democratic minorities in Congress. “When it’s my fault,” he said, “I’ll tell you.” > … Says the man who has never apologized in his life. Words fail… > [@](#): > > …He likewise made expansive claims. He suggested that the vague 391-word statement he signed with Mr. Kim during their meeting in Singapore ended the nuclear standoff with North Korea. “I signed an agreement where we get everything, everything,” he said. > > Although there is no concrete arrangement for how North Korea would dismantle its nuclear weapons arsenal, when it would happen or who would verify that it happened, Mr. Trump dismissed such questions as minor details that will be worked out. > … > Mr. Trump confirmed that he wants to meet President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia this summer, brushing off Moscow’s annexation of Crimea in 2014, which he blamed on Mr. Obama rather than Mr. Putin. “President Obama lost Crimea because President Putin didn’t respect President Obama,” he said. > … Crimea is Obama’s fault?? Right. :rolleyes: > [@](#): > > Likewise, he faulted Democrats in Congress for the federal authorities’ separating children from parents trying to cross the border from Mexico under a “zero tolerance” policy announced by Attorney General Jeff Sessions. > > “I hate the children being taken away,” he said. “The Democrats have to change their law. That’s their law.” Hos troops believe every word, no doubt. ---
