0:00 - 0:15 Introduction and ambient noise of Air Force One.
President Trump enters the press cabin.
No questions asked yet; Trump greets reporters: "Hello everybody, how are you? Nice to see you all."
0:16 - 0:45
Question 1: "Mr. President, what’s your message to the American people after the events of this week?"
Reporter not identified by name in the video.
Answer: "Well, I think it’s a great message. We’ve had a tremendous week. We’ve accomplished a lot. The economy’s doing fantastically well. Jobs are coming back like never before. We’re bringing companies back into our country. And I think it’s a message of success. We’re making America great again, and it’s happening faster than anybody thought possible."
0:46 - 1:20
Question 2: "Sir, can you give us an update on the border security talks? Are you planning to meet with Congressional leaders again?"
Reporter’s voice slightly muffled, no name given.
Answer: "Yeah, the border is a big thing. We’re doing very well with the border. We’ve got tremendous security going up. The wall is being built—faster than ever. I’ll be meeting with some of the leaders next week. We’re going to have a big meeting. I think we’re close to a deal. The Democrats are starting to come around because they see how good it is for the country. We’re stopping the drugs, the trafficking—human trafficking, which is a terrible thing—and it’s all coming together."
1:21 - 2:00
Question 3: "Mr. President, there’s been some criticism about the cost of Air Force One upgrades. Can you address that?"
Reporter’s voice clearer, possibly from the front row.
Answer: "Look, Air Force One is a symbol of America. It’s gotta be the best. I’m not happy with Boeing—they’re taking too long, and it’s over budget. But we negotiated a great deal back in my first term—fixed price, so the taxpayers aren’t paying for the overruns. Boeing’s paying for it. Still, I want it faster. We’re looking at options. It’s gotta be perfect, though—red, white, and blue, the best technology. It’s an incredible plane, and it’ll be worth it when it’s done."
2:01 - 2:45
Question 4: "What are your thoughts on the Supreme Court nomination process right now?"
Reporter not identified.
Answer: "The Supreme Court is very important. We’ve got a great nominee—I won’t say who yet, but you’ll see soon. The process is moving along. The Senate’s going to do their job. I think we’ll have a fantastic justice, somebody who loves the Constitution, loves America. We’ve already put three great justices on the court in my first term, and this one’s going to be just as good, maybe better. It’s a big deal for the country."
2:46 - 3:30
Question 5: "Mr. President, any reaction to the latest jobs report? Some say the numbers are inflated."
Reporter’s voice slightly louder.
Answer: "The jobs report is phenomenal—best in decades. People are working again. The numbers aren’t inflated; they’re real. We’ve got millions of jobs coming back—manufacturing, energy, tech. The critics, they just don’t like success. They’re the same people who said we couldn’t do it. We’re proving them wrong every day. Look at the stock market—it’s through the roof. People are happy."
3:31 - 4:15
Question 6: "Sir, what’s your stance on the China trade talks? Are tariffs still on the table?"
Reporter not identified.
Answer: "China’s been tough, but we’re tougher. The trade talks are going well. We’re getting a fair deal—something nobody else could do. Tariffs? They’re always on the table. We’ve collected billions because of tariffs, and it’s helping our farmers, our workers. China respects us now—they didn’t before. We’ll see what happens, but it’s looking good."
4:16 - 5:00
Question 7: "Mr. President, there’s talk about you attending the G7 summit. Will you push your America First agenda there?"
Reporter’s voice from the back.
Answer: "The G7, yeah, I’ll be there. America First is always my agenda. We’re not going to let other countries take advantage of us anymore. They’ve been ripping us off for years—trade, military, you name it. I’ll sit down with the leaders, we’ll have good talks, but I’m there to protect American interests. That’s my job."
5:01 - 5:45
Question 8: "Any plans to address climate change in your second term, sir?"
Reporter’s voice softer, possibly a female reporter.
Answer: "Climate change—we’ve got the cleanest air, cleanest water in decades. I’m all for that. But I’m not going to kill our economy over it. The Green New Deal? Disaster—would bankrupt us. We’re doing it smart—energy independence, natural gas, clean coal. We’re beating everybody on emissions without destroying jobs. That’s the Trump way."
5:46 - 6:30
Question 9: "Mr. President, what about Kash Patel’s confirmation as FBI Director? Any concerns about Senate pushback?"
Reporter not identified.
Answer: "Kash Patel’s a star. He’s tough, smart, loves America. The Senate’s going to confirm him—I’m not worried. Some RINOs might squawk, but the people want him. He’ll clean up the FBI, get rid of the corruption, focus on real crime—not political witch hunts. He’s perfect for the job."
6:31 - 7:15
Question 10: "Sir, can you comment on Elon Musk’s role in your administration?"
Reporter’s voice louder, possibly eager.
Answer: "Elon’s fantastic. He’s helping us cut waste—Department of Government Efficiency, DOGE, great name. He’s a genius, loves America. He’s been looking at Boeing, too—Air Force One mess. He’s pushing hard to make government work better, and he’s doing it for free. Great guy."
7:16 - 8:00
Question 11: "Mr. President, any plans to revisit healthcare reform?"
Reporter not identified.
Answer: "Healthcare’s huge. We’re working on it. Obamacare’s a mess—premiums too high, coverage terrible. We’ll come up with something better—lower costs, more choice. It’s complicated, but we’ll get it done. People deserve great healthcare, and we’re going to deliver."
8:01 - 8:45
Question 12: "What’s your message to young Americans who are skeptical of your leadership?"
Reporter’s voice younger-sounding.
Answer: "To the young people—I get it, you’ve been fed a lot of nonsense. But look at the results: jobs, opportunity, safety. We’re building a future for you—better than ever. Give us a chance. You’ll see—we’re making it happen. America’s back, and it’s for you."
8:46 - 9:30
Question 13: "Mr. President, any regrets about your first term that you want to fix now?"
Reporter not identified.
Answer: "Regrets? Not really. We did amazing things—tax cuts, judges, military rebuilt. Maybe I’d have pushed harder on the swamp—they’re sneaky. But this term, we’re finishing the job. No regrets, just forward. Bigger, better, stronger."
9:31 - 10:15
Question 14: "Sir, what’s next on your agenda after this flight?"
Reporter’s voice casual.
Answer: "We’re landing soon—I’ve got a big meeting in Florida. Economic stuff, jobs, some great announcements. Then maybe a little golf—gotta relax sometime, right? But it’s full speed ahead. Lots to do, and we’re doing it fast."
10:16 - 11:00
Question 15: "Mr. President, one more—any thoughts on the 2028 election already?"
Reporter chuckles slightly.
Answer: "2028? Come on, I just got here! Let’s focus on now—winning every day. But I’ll tell you, the movement’s strong. We’ve got great people coming up. It’s going to be tremendous, whatever happens."
11:01 - 12:34
Conclusion:
Trump: "Alright, folks, gotta go. Thanks, great questions. See you soon—maybe on the ground next time!"

Reporters shout follow-ups, but Trump exits. Ambient noise and chatter continue until the video ends at 12:34.
