At W.H. Congressional Picnic, Trump Reports on Scalise: ‘Things Are Looking Very, Very Good’

‘Tonight our thoughts and prayers remain with one friend who is not here’

EXCERPT:

TRUMP: "Tonight our thoughts and prayers remain with one friend who is not here, a man that we have all come to know and respect and to love, Congressman Steve Scalise. The outpouring of support for Steve and his family has been truly inspiring. We are so touched that joining us here this evening are Steve and Jennifer's children, Harrison and Madison, beautiful children. In fact, we just gave them a tour of the White House. Just gave them a beautiful tour of the White House. They got the A tour. You know, sometimes we give the B, the C, the D and the F tours just like, 'Here it is, let’s get out of here.' We gave them the A tour. And I want them to know that the whole country is praying for their courageous dad and all of us are praying for them. It’s been amazing. The recovery is going now well. For two days they’re saying it’s really tough. But today I can report things are looking very, very good. So we’re very happy about that."
