“Not as far as I’m concerned – no preconditions,” the president said. At another point, he said: “I think they want to make a deal. And my deal is nuclear.” “I thought about it for a second and I said, ‘You know what? They shot down an unmanned drone, plane, whatever you want to call it. And here we are sitting with 150 dead people that would have taken place probably within a half an hour after I said go ahead,’” the president recounted. “And I didn't like it. I didn't think it was -- I didn’t think it was proportionate.”
“If it was up to him, he’d take on the whole world at one time, OK?” Trump said of Bolton. “But that doesn’t matter, because I want both sides.” If impeachment proceedings were held, Trump said, “I think I win the election easier.” But he insisted again that he had done nothing wrong, despite the special counsel’s compilation of evidence that he may have obstructed justice.
