TODAY, TRUMP WAS ASKED ABOUT SENATOR LEE TRASHING HIS
INTELLIGENCE BRIEFING, AND HE HAD THIS TO LIE --
>> I HAD CALLS FROM NUMEROUS SENATORS AND NUMEROUS
CONGRESSMEN AND WOMEN SAYING IT WAS THE GREATEST PRESENTATION
THEY'VE EVER HAD!
PEOPLE HAVE CALLED AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE BEST PRESENTATION
THEY'VE EVER SEEN.
>> STEPHEN: (AS TRUMP) "YES, NUMEROUS REAL PEOPLE TOLD
ME THAT.
LIKE WHO?
UM, SENATOR GUY TRUE-PERSON AND CONGRESSWOMAN NOT-A-LIE
ACTUAL-LADY."
TRUMP ALSO SPOKE ABOUT ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS-- MAINLY,
HIS CONCERN THAT THE ENVIRONMENT WAS GETTING IN THE WAY OF
BUILDING STUFF.
BUT HE HAD AN ANSWER.
>> WE'LL CUT THE FEDERAL PERMITTING TIMELINE FOR MAJOR
PROJECTS DOWN TO TWO YEARS, AND IDEALLY WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO
GET EVEN LESS THAN THAT, SO YOU'LL BE INSTEAD OF 21, 22, 25,
8, 9, 12, 15.
( LAUGHTER ) >> STEPHEN: HE MUST BE FUN ON
NEW YEAR'S EVE.

"TEN, NINE, EIGHT, 12, FOUR, 22, 15,
WITH A POWERBALL OF EIGHT."
( LAUGHTER ) ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
TRUMP SAID HE GOT NO CREDIT FOR DONATING HIS PRESIDENTIAL SALARY
TO CHARITY, BUT HE SAID IT THIS WAY.
>> I GIVE UP MY SALARY-- IT'S $450,000, APPROXIMATELY $450,000
PRESIDENTIAL SALARY-- I GIVE IT UP, IT GOES TO... USUALLY, I
GIVE IT TO DRUGS.

>> Stephen: MMM -- CLEARLY, THAT'S NOT WHAT HE
MEANT.
BUT THE FLUB IS UNDERSTANDABLE.
HE'S ON A TON OF ADDERALL!
ALLEGEDLY.
NOW -- ( SNIFFING )
-- WHEN ASKED ABOUT THE N.A.T.O.
ALLIANCE IN EUROPE, TRUMP FLOATED AN EXCITING IDEA--
SPICE IT UP WITH SOME NON-EUROPE COUNTRIES.

GREAT CONVERSATION.
HE WAS VERY-- I THINK HE WAS ACTUALLY EXCITED BY IT.
AND I ACTUALLY HAD A NAME.
NATO, RIGHT?
AND THEN YOU HAVE M-E, MIDDLE EAST.
YOU CALL IT NATOME.
I SAID, WHAT A BEAUTIFUL NAME.
NATOME.
>> STEPHEN: (AS TRUMP) "BEAUTIFUL NAME.
NATOME.
HOW LOVELY.
IF I EVER HAVE A CHILD, I'LL NAME IT NATOME.
WHAT?
YOU'RE KIDDING."
"REALLY?
FIVE --" ( LAUGHTER )
>> Jon: AAAHHH!
( APPLAUSE ) >> Stephen: BY THE WAY, JUST
TO TAKE A SECOND HERE TO BREAK THAT DOWN, N.A.T.O. STANDS FOR
NORTH ATLANTIC TREATY ORGANIZATION -- MIDDLE EAST.

A PERFECT NAME!
( LAUGHTER ) WHY NOT JUST DO THE GILLIGAN'S
ISLAND RULE AND GO NORTH ATLANTIC TREATY ORGANIZATION --
AND THE REST IS THIS ( LAUGHTER )
( APPLAUSE ) NOW, TRUMP --
