( laughter ) now, one of nike's lawyers pointed out that he never got paid that high of a retainer, to which avenatti asked, have you "held the balls of your client in your hand where you could take $5 to $6 billion market cap off of them?"

( laughter ) they have no plan. in fact, not only do they not have a plan, "there is no plan to make a plan." ( laughter and applause ) so, they may not have a plan to make a plan, but they are working hard on a plan for you to never find out that they will never have had a plan. ( laughter ) but trump evidently thinks that no plan is better than obamacare. ( as trump ) "everybody agrees that obamacare doesn't

( laughter ) because "the president's efforts to influence the investigation were mostly unsuccessful, but that is largely because the persons who surrounded the president declined to carry out orders or accede to his requests." ( applause ) okay. okay. it's a shock to find out, both, which associates declined to carry out his orders, and what they declined to do. like his former campaign manager corey lewandowski, who did not deliver the president's message to attorney general jeff sessions that he should confi

( laughter ) now, look, i don't know how they came up with that, other than looking at this picture or this picture, or this picture, or this picture, or this picture. but, look, that was totally unfair of me. it was probably this picture.
