TRANSCRIPT: President Trump Speaks to Reporters After Air Force One Arrival, 3.27.26
[Video]
Question: Mr. President.
Question: [Inaudible] Tiger Woods, sir?
President Trump: I feel so badly he's, uh, he's got some difficulty. There was an accident and that's all I know. Very close friend of mine. He's an amazing person, amazing man. But, uh, some difficulty.
Question: Is he hurt?
Trump: We uh, we don't -- I don't want to talk about it.
Question: What's your reaction to what happened in the house? The CFA funding installed?
Trump: Well, you know, the Democrats want to let illegals come into the country, criminals, murderers. Every kind of criminal you can imagine, and the Republicans just don't want to have it happen. We, we, I have spent the better part of this year trying to get these criminals out and the Democrats want to have them come in. And we can't let that happen.
We just can't let that happen. Uh, we've taken out hundreds of thousands, even millions of people out of this country that shouldn't be. I'm not talking about people that came in illegal and they're working and everything. I'm talking about murderers, 11,888 murderers. And we can't let it happen. We can't. And that's what the Democrats want.
They want people to come into this country. They don't care who they are. If they murder people, they're fine with that. They don't care who they are. They want borders to be open. We have borders that are stone-cold closed. Uh, 10 months now in a row, nobody came into the country. They want to do just the opposite.
And this would have ruined the country. If I wasn't elected, we wouldn't have a country right now. So you can't do it. So I understand John Thune and I understand Mike Johnson. Uh, they want to, they want to be sure that people aren't coming into our country like they have for the last four years. I, I don't want to say they've ruined it. They made my job a lot harder.
And now we have it good. We have crime down, we have everything down. But these are people, some of the worst people. Look at Chicago. Two days ago, they shot this bug, this horrible human being came in through the Biden open border. They killed this beautiful young girl who was a friend of, whose father was a good friend of Dan Scavino.
And, uh, it's just happening every single day. These are the worst gang members, the worst killers, the worst, they allowed the worst people. And you know why? Because the country sent them out. When they saw open borders, every country throughout the world, they sent them into our country. And we don't want that, and that's what it's all about. Thank you.
Question: With Iran, sir, Iran. What's the latest with Iran, sir?
Trump: On Iran, they are being decimated. They are talking, we are talking now. They want to make a deal. Very simply, our military is the greatest in the world by far. Iran is being decimated. Thank you.
