‘These are the papers’
By Grabien Staff

EXCERPT:

TRUMP: "This was done by the military and given to me. I think we can probably, right?"
STAFFER: "I don’t know. We’ll have to see. Yeah, we'll try to — "
TRUMP: "Declassify it."
STAFFER: "Yeah."
(Laughter)
TRUMP: "As president, I could have declassified it. Now I can’t, you know. But this is classified."
STAFFER: "Yeah. (Laughs) Now we have a problem."
TRUMP: "Isn’t that interesting?"
STAFFER: "Yeah."
TRUMP: "It’s so cool. I mean, it's so — look, her and I — and you probably almost didn’t believe me, but now you believe me."
WRITER: "No, I believed you."
TRUMP: "It's incredible, right?"
WRITER: "No, they never met a war they didn't want."
TRUMP: "Hey, bring some — bring some Cokes in, please."
