Trump: "America is respected again. Respected at the highest levels. Every country that comes to see me, they respect our country again."— Daniel Dale (@ddale8) November 15, 2019
Trump says Rep. Adam Schiff has a "little 10-inch neck." He then performs this exchange: "What size shirts do you need, Adam?" "I wear a size 9." Returning to his own voice, he says, "Nine! He will not make the LSU football team."
Replying to
Trump is recounting his usual imaginary timeline, saying that after Schiff delivered an inaccurate account of his Zelensky call, "I said, I better release the real call," and outsmarted Schiff. Schiff spoke *a day after* Trump released the rough transcript.

Trump on Schiff: "He's a thief. He's a crook." No evidence of this. Trump adds, "He should be prosecuted. The only problem is, he has immunity." He does.

Trump says impeachment has been "very hard on my family...very, very hard." He very rarely invokes his family in this way.

Sir Alert. Trump says Republicans are coming up to him about impeachment: "'Sir, our poll numbers are going through the roof, do you think we could keep this going?' I said, 'Do me a favor, let's get it ended.' They said, 'But let's keep it going, President, it's so great.'"

"If you want to see what corruption looks like," Trump says, watch the video of Biden boasting about how he pressured Ukraine to fire its prosecutor general. (The video does not show any corruption. The prosecutor was widely considered ineffective or corrupt.)

Trump says the prosecutor was "going after his son." There's no evidence Hunter Biden was ever under investigation, and even the investigation into the owner of Burisma appeared to be inactive at the time of Joe Biden's pressure.

Trump says he hopes Joe Biden wins the nomination and Joe Biden is very sleepy and exhausted.

Trump is citing a report he says showed that Trump got "64% bad publicity" over the death of Baghdadi. He asks how this could have happened. (Not sure of the source for the number; part of the reason for some critical coverage was his bizarre post-death press conference.)
