Yes, Trump said every single word of this statement below, copied verbatim.
And, it wasn’t an isolated malapropism, nor an innocent slip up.
This is willful ignorance and a complete disregard for history. It borders on mental illness. It’s also grotesquely unacceptable that someone so dumb as President of the United States would actually believe this, let alone say it out loud in front of the world:

I think you’ll get something great out what I’m about to share. At least, that’s what I’m hoping for.

THE FART OF THE DEAL AND THE ART OF THE STEAL
Stop calling it a “historic summit.”
There was nothing “historic” about any of it, other than the world witnessing the shameful spectacle of two power-mad dictators — one wickedly intelligent, coldly calculating, and consistent….the other woefully inept, simpleminded, and unstable — staging a pitiful photo op and quickie “press conference” on a American soil.
I’ve seen more substance come out of 15-minute meetings at my local Starbucks, even when they got my order wrong.
