President Trump took six minutes to chat with the press gaggle before heading off to Florida for the grand opening of Alligator Alcatraz.
In those short six minutes, we learned a lot and covered a ton of topics.
One of which was the rekindled feud with Elon Musk, but that wasn’t the only topic.
You can watch the full remarks right here, and I’ll put the transcript below too.
Watch here:
President Trump’s full remarks as he spoke to the press before leaving for Alligator Alcatraz.
“We might have to put DOGE on Elon, you know? You know what DOGE is?
DOGE is the monster that might have to go back and eat Elon. Wouldn’t that be terrible?”

FULL TRANSCRIPT:
Donald Trump:
Morning. We’re going out to Alligator Alcatraz. It’s an East Coast version and it should be very exciting, very good.
ADVERTISEMENTWorked very hard on it with Ron and everybody and I think it’s gonna be great. And then I’ll be back here fighting for the bill. And I hear it’s going okay.
We’ll move it along, but we’ll be back here pretty early. Crazy with the cuts.
Are there parts of the bill or amendments that you think cut too much?
We’re gonna have to see the final version. No, I don’t want to go too crazy with cuts. I don’t like—I don’t like cuts.
There are certain things that have been cut, which is good. I think we’re doing well. We’re gonna have to see. It’s very complicated stuff.
Great enthusiasm, as you know. And I think in the end we’re gonna have it. What do you think, Caroline? Think you’re right.
What do you think about Joe? He’s having such a hard time condemning the phrase “globalizing the product.” Think he’s terrible.
He’s a communist. The last thing we need is a communist. I said, “There will never be socialism in the United States.”
Now we have a communist. I—I think he’s bad news. And I think I’m gonna have a lot of fun with him, watching him, because he has to come right through this building to get his money.
ADVERTISEMENTDon’t worry, he’s not gonna run away with anything. I think he’s a—frankly, I’ve heard he’s a total nut job.
People of New York are crazy if they go this route. I think they’re crazy.
We will have a—a communist in the—for the first time really, a pure true communist. He wants to operate the grocery stores, the department stores.
What about the people that are there? It’s—it’s—I think it’s crazy.
What happened to Elon Musk?
Who?
What happened to Elon Musk?
Nothing. You know, he’s upset. He’s—that he’s losing—losing his EV mandate. Can you accept?
You know, he’s very upset about things. But you know, he could lose a lot more than that, I can tell you right now.
Hey Elon—Elon can lose a lot more than that.
ADVERTISEMENTWe hope it’s gonna happen. And we’re looking forward to it happening sometime next week.
We want to get the hostages out.
Do you have to go through item by item by item and pass this stuff one at a time?
We’re gonna get there. It’s tough.
We’re trying to bring it down, break it down so it’s really good for the country.
Trying to get a lot for everybody. And it’s a big bill. And—smaller bills would have been easy, but they wouldn’t have been as good.
I think it’s gonna do okay.
And with the Alligator Alcatraz, it’s the idea that if some illegal immigrants escape, they just get eaten by an alligator or a snake or something.
Guess that’s the concept.
This is not a nice business. I guess that’s the concept.
ADVERTISEMENTIf you—you know—are fast, but alligators are much—
We’re gonna teach them how to run away from an alligator, okay?
If they escape prison, how to run away. Don’t run in a straight line. Run like this.
And you know what? Your chances go up about 1%. Okay?
Not a good thing.
Well, he’s coming here. We’re gonna talk about a lot of things. We’re gonna talk about the great success we had.
I mean, we had an incredible s— in—in Iran, we had an incredible success like really nobody’s had in many, many years.
That was a precision war strike.
And the word “obliteration” can now be used because the Atomic Energy Commission said, “You can’t even get into the place.”
It was demolished. It was really demolished.
It was a great, brilliant strike.
And—uh—had to get go forward.
We’re also gonna talk about Gaza.
Wanna get the—the rest.
We got a lot of hostages back. But we’re gonna talk.
We might have to put Doge on Elon.
What Doge is—Doge is the monster that have—that might have to go back and eat Elon.
Wouldn’t that be terrible?
He gets a lot of subsidies, Peter.
But—uh—Elon’s very upset that the EV mandate is gonna be terminated.
And you know what? When you look at it—EV—who wants—
Not everybody wants an electric car. I don’t want an electric car.
I want to have maybe gasoline, maybe electric, maybe a hybrid. Maybe someday a hydrogen.
If you have a hydrogen car, it has one problem: it blows up, you know?
So I’m gonna give that one to Peter. Gonna let Peter fix it up.
If the hydrogen—hydrogen cars—and when they blow up, it’s serious. They find you 5 blocks away. It’s that bad.
How are the—
Everything’s going well.
Honestly, everything.
This is very complicated because it’s very big. A lot of different areas.
Uh—look—the Republicans have their heart in it.
The Democrats want to des— They just want to destroy our country.
A Democrat wants to destroy the country. They won’t vote on it. They don’t vote on anything.
This is the biggest tax cut in history.
Uh—the big—Everything—Everything is the biggest in history. It’s the best bill we’ve ever had.
We can’t get one Democrat vote.
Do you think—
When do you think you’ll get final—
When do you think you’ll get final passage?
He’s a guy, Peter.
What do you think? Very nice guy.
Bill—Hopefully soon. Hopefully today we can—Final passage.
Right, it’s final. Final is—let’s take Senate at a time, okay?
But I think Senate should be today and we go over to the House.
And—is there any way to placate her knows?
You tell me. You tell me.
Is there—Alaska’s done so well with me. There’s never been a president better to Alaska than me.
But it doesn’t mean people appreciate it.
Have a good day.
