Press Gaggle: Donald Trump Speaks to Reporters After Arrival in West Palm Beach - October 23, 2026

Okay, I hope you had a good time, everybody.

All right. So, this is a friend of mine from Florida. So, it's a nice coin, like whatever. But then on the other side, it's got a nice little -- you guys can see that, right?

We did.

Oh, yeah.

We're gonna go over and celebrate with Sean Hannity and Ainsley at Mar-a-Lago. They're doing a big, beautiful thing. And, uh, that was a big crowd. I hope you saw the crowd outside.

All right. And so --

We did.

Your friend has a big talent.

Because you could have tripled it. More than, more than tripled it. But it was a big, uh -- we had a good time. We had Bobby and everybody.

I told them -- I said I need to get this to the president. Can I please have one to give to him? And so, I was able to do it. And -- but I just want to welcome the president back to his home state. They got a big crowd in Fort Myers. I know a lot of people are excited. We've got a lot of races going on, and -- and I think we're going to do very well in Florida, as we have --

Come on over here. Bobby was great. Oz was great. And, uh, what do you want to know?

Looking good.

Two former FBI agents, uh, are, are -- officials are facing felony charges --

In recent years.

Good.

Looking good. Great guy.

-- tied to Hunter Biden. Uh, do you think that the FBI were, were protecting the Bidens before the 2020 election?

What's your message to voters tonight [Inaudible]

Yeah, I guess. I don't know exactly what it is. But I heard there were arrests, or charged. And I heard they were bad people. You know, they're crooked people. They're -- you know, they are dirty cops. Like Comey. Comey's a dirty cop. Thank you, everybody.

Just get out and vote. If they vote, we're going to win big.

Any thoughts on the Alaska lawsuit --

Well, I'm the --

On the ballot?

I'm the one that said do it. They have two guys run -- named Dan Sullivan running.

I know.

So, the Democrats put up a guy, never -- I don't think he ever voted before. All of a sudden he decides to run for the Senate, and his name is Dan Sullivan. One is Daniel S, one is Daniel J. The Daniel J is the fake. And he wants to change his middle initial to Daniel S, but he said this has nothing to do with politics.

And -- and Daniel J just so happens to be funded by liberal donors. Imagine that. What a coincidence that is.

By -- by ActBlue, ok? But he has nothing to do with politics. No, it's a disgrace.

Governor, how do things look for Byron Donalds here in the state? Why is it -- why is it somewhat [Inaudible]? Well, look, I mean, I think anytime you run as a first time candidate, it's a big state, you gotta get known. That just takes time. But if you look, when I ran eight years ago, we had 300,000 more registered Democrats in this state than Republicans.

Right.

Today we have 1.5 million more registered Republicans. So, I think what the president said's right. If people come out, if our people vote, I think we'll win not just in Florida, but some of these other Senate races that are close. If our people show up, we'll win those Senate races. So, it's all about the turnout, and no one does it better than the president of the United States.

Mr. President, your ambassador --

He's -- he's going to be in great shape. He is going to be in great shape.

Your ambassador to Turkey, sir, just said in an interview that absolutely, quote, unquote, there could be a strike on Iran this weekend. Have you gone back on holding off on relaunching --

That was my ambassador in Turkey? He's a pretty powerful man, I guess. Well, if -- if that's the case, I don't know anything about it. Thank you very much, everybody. Ron, thank you.

Thank you, sir. Appreciate it.

Yep. Yep. Thank you. Say hello [Inaudible]

We will.
