Trump on Timing of Comey’s Firing: ‘It Was Set up ... I’m Not Looking for Cosmetics’

RUSH EXCERPT:
HOLT: "Did you worry at all when you made the decision to fire Comey when you did? The day before lavrov was here? Did you think through the optics?"
TRUMP: "It was set up awhile ago and frankly, I could have waited, but what difference does it make? I'm not looking for cosmetics. I'm looking to do great job for the country. I'm looking to create jobs. I'm looking to create strength and security. I'm looking to have strong borders. I'm looking for things like that. It's a good thing I meet with people."
