Trump: I Never Understood Why Pardoning Is Compared to the Idiom ‘As Clean as a Newborn Baby’s Ass’

TRANSCRIPT:

TRUMP: "And that means — I don’t know if you’ve ever heard, when you give somebody a pardon, they say that means — and I don’t know how this works and why it’s an expression, but it’s well-used — that means you’re as clean as a newborn baby’s ass. Now, I never — I never — I never understood that. Why is that so clean? But they felt that was the definition of cleanliness. And so you know what we’ll do? We’ll accept it."
