Trump Puts Ball in Katie Zacharia’s Court Amid White House Controversy

What I'm doing is I said, when I get back, we're going to talk because I don't think that Katie should be made to suffer like she's suffering at the hands of the press. So I will talk to her as soon as I get back. A lot of people want the job, I'll bet you'd want it if I offered to show you, but a lot of people would want that job. But I just think the press is a very tougher game. And I said, there's no reason for you to have to do it. You've got a beautiful family, a fantastic husband and wife. And I told them, I said, you've got to do it. So we'll make a decision. He said, there's no reason for you to have a girlfriend. You've got a beautiful family, fantastic husband and wife. And I told him, I said, you've got to have a girlfriend. He said, well, what am I going to do? Is that what you mean? Just going, having a car, not having a car? Well, I wasn't a pirate. I was a lawyer. I was a pirate. But nobody really went to the stage every day. I would say, some of you would have had a guy. Many people. Many people. Many very smart people. Some of them take the bar for exams. It was a bar exam four times, but I wasn't hiring as a lawyer. I hired as a president. And she's been very good. You know, she's been loyal to me from day one for a long time. But it's not an easy job, and I think she was really treated very unfairly. So I'll speak to her about it. I told her, I think you're better off being happy. And I'm not sure you can ever be happy at this job. There's nothing easy about this job. All right, as the audio gets better, we can dip back in here. I just want to make sure we get to the news here. John, as the president has just said that two minutes prior to walking out, he said to Zachariah, you don't have to do this if you don't want to. Honestly, if I were you, I'd reconsider.
