President Trump Gaggles with Press at Bullhead City, AZ, Oct. 14, 2026

I hope you had a good time. We're now going to Montana. We're doing a big another big rally. The people are miles long and it's going to be fantastic. So, you'll enjoy it. We're switching planes because of the small runway. And then we get back on the big one. Uh but uh this is going to be a great rally also. That was fantastic. Uh what did you think? Did you like it? Pretty good, right? >> Pretty good. And we have another big one. So, I think these rallies have changed everything. had changed. A lot of things have changed. I think a lot of people that maybe were having trouble won't have so much trouble, but I feel I owe it to the Republican party. I love the party. I love the people in the Republican party. And uh I wasn't going to do this, but you know, we're going to end up doing about 32 33 of them. And we're off to a very good start. I guess this number eight or so. And uh I think we're off to an amazing start. Every one of them is packed. The one we're going to right now is packed. Montana is just absolutely uh amazing what's going on. There's tremendous spirit. We've brought back a spirit. You know, the country is doing so well, but we have to let people know about it. So, thank you all very much. >> Are you concerned about Abdul Elsad's eyes to the Muslim Brotherhood? >> Yeah, he's a member of the Muslim Brotherhood. Abdul or as I call him, Muhammad, Muhammad also. Well, he was a proud member and you can't have a member of the Muslim Brotherhood in Congress being on one of our security committees, right? But he is a member of the Muslim Brotherhood and you have in Mike Rogers such an amazing candidate. He's uh apple pie. He's all apple pie and that's what our country needs. We don't we don't need the Muslim Brotherhood in as a senator. >> President, why why Montana? It's a very red state. Uh there are those of you that are saying you're playing defense as opposed to trying to go to Michigan for >> Well, I probably because I'm doing Michigan, too. As you know, I'm doing Michigan in a few days. Uh Montana because we want to make sure we win. I won. You know, it was one of my best states. I won by 45 points. Uh and really two reasons. Normally, I wouldn't be going, but I like to also pay my respect to places that I don't have to go. They're so looking forward to it. and I won by uh many many many points. Wasn't even a contest. And you know, my opponent uh was didn't represent the people of Montana well. And it was it's one of my better states, maybe my best state. And so I do it to to thank them. I also do it because we have some great people there that are running and I want to make sure they win. Because when I don't run, which you know, in theory I'm not running, but I feel that I'm running. When I don't run, we get 49% less turnout. When I do run, we win easily. We've won every every time I've run, we've won, and I want to keep it that way. So, essentially, I'm saying, please pretend I'm running. And in a true sense, I am running because I don't want them tearing down what we built. So, we look forward to Montana, but we're going to Michigan. Uh we're going back to Ohio. We're going back to Texas. We're doing all the right places, but we have a little time left. Do you have a message for exactly Pope Leo being diagnosed with lung cancer? >> I do. I want to see Pope Leo get well. I hear the prognosis for that type of a problem. It's a cancer. It's big stuff anytime you have cancer. But the prognosis seems to be good. I've watched and we just want to wish him uh our love and our best wishes. His brother's a friend of mine who's a great he's a fantastic guy and his wife. You know, they're big Trump supporters. They have MAGA all over their house. And I can say that his brother loves him a lot. Loves the pope a lot and that's good. That's good enough for me. But uh I just want to wish him well. Get better fast. >> Mr. President, did you discuss the inflation report today with Kevin W? The market is increasingly betting on a rate of >> Yeah, we're doing well. Look, we're at 1.7% inflation for the last three months. We inherited a terrible inflation from Biden, the worst in the history of our country. And we have for the last three months 1.7 1.8% very low. We're doing great. We're doing great. And Iran will end very shortly. It's going to be over very shortly. And your energy prices will fall very rapidly, very fast. And remember, oil is less now under Trump with us taking away the nuclear chance of them destroying, frankly, the world uh than it was under Biden. Oil was higher under Biden than it is under Trump. and I had to make an excursion down to Iran to take away the nuclear weapon. And we've done that. They won't have a nuclear weapon. Uh the war is going to be over very soon. Thank you very much. Fire.
