Trump to Reporter Asking Him Why He Wants the Senate to Stay in Town During August Recess: ‘What a Stupid Question to Ask’

EXCERPT:

JACOBS: “On the Senate, on the SAVE Act, why do you want the U.S. Senate to stay in town? Shouldn’t they be out across the country campaigning?”

TRUMP: “Why — what a stupid question for you to ask.”

JACOBS: “Shouldn’t they be out campaigning, though?”

TRUMP: “What a stupid question. For Jennifer to ask such a stupid — she’s a smart person. I knew her all the way back in the Iowa days when she said Trump’s going to win, and boy, was she right. So listen, why do I want it? The SAVE Act has to be done. They shouldn’t leave town. I’m not going to stop them from doing it, but they should get the SAVE Act done. If they don’t get it done, it’s going to be a very bad thing for the party.”
