Quote:Five memorable moments from Trump's interview with the Wall Street Journal
Last week, the Wall Street Journal had a one-on-one interview with President Trump.
But when the outlet didn't publish a full transcript of the interview, Politico stepped in and published it.
Here are five of the most interesting moments.
On Jared Kushner
IVANKA TRUMP : And I liked your editorial today, very nice. (Laughs.)
GERRY BAKER: Oh, good, good. Well, you see, you know, my colleagues write those, so they’ll be – they’ll be –
PRESIDENT TRUMP: You did a good job.
IVANKA TRUMP: Yeah, you really did.
GERRY BAKER: Thank you very much. Thank you.
PRESIDENT TRUMP: You did a good job. He’s a good – he’s a good boy.
IVANKA TRUMP: They wrote a very nice editorial, so very good.
The editorial in question, "The Kushner Statement," lauds President Trump's son-in-law for his disclosure last week that detailed his Russian contacts.

On population sizes
PRESIDENT TRUMP: So, you know, and these are like countries, you know, fairly large, like 300 million people. You know, a lot of people say – they say, well, but the United States is large. And then you call places like Malaysia, Indonesia, and you say, you know, how many people do you have? And it’s pretty amazing how many people they have. So China’s going to be at 7 or 8 percent, and they have a billion-five, right?
The president had been discussing his repatriation tax on offshore earnings when he went off on this tangent.

What's also amazing is that both Indonesia (pop 261m) and Malaysia (pop 31m) are a lot smaller than the US (323m). https://twitter.com/ddale8/status/892480331525304320 …

On his Boy Scout speech
PRESIDENT TRUMP: And I got a call from the head of the Boy Scouts saying it was the greatest speech that was ever made to them, and they were very thankful. So there was – there was no mix.
Trump's speech last week at the Boy Scouts of America's national jamboree was filled with political rhetoric, resulting the Boy Scouts' chief executive apologizing for the speech in an open letter.

On Southampton
GERRY BAKER: It was nice to see you out in Southampton a couple weeks ago.
Baker apparently saw into Ivanka Trump while the two were in the Hamptons, likely for a party thrown last month Washington Post heiress Lally Weymouth.

On his staff
GERRY BAKER: But we can’t expect any more staff changes in the immediate – in the immediate future?
PRESIDENT TRUMP: No, I don’t think so.
GERRY BAKER: No?
PRESIDENT TRUMP: But I’m very happy with Anthony (Scaramucci). I think Anthony is going to do amazing.
This interview took place on Tuesday, July 25. Three days later, Reince Priebus would be ousted as chief of staff. Six days later, Anthony Scaramucci was out the door as well.

Your anger and ego will always reveal your true self.
