Watch CNBC's full exclusive interview with President Trump
____________________________________________
My comment: Particularly informative are the president's comments on Russia. As usual, he does not hold back.
President Trump pretty much debunks the false narrative, the whirling hysteria that Trump is Putin's boot licker; a traitor.

President Trump:
President Donald Trump spoke with CNBC anchor Joe Kernen on Thursday just outside the Oval Office at the White House. The conversation touched on the state of the U.S. economy, America's trade wars — and the president's news-making remarks about the Federal Reserve's ongoing interest-rate hikes.

President Trump:
I have been far tougher on Russia than any President in many many years. Maybe ever. Even the big fight I have with Germany over the fact that they're taking natural gas, they’re taking energy from Russia. Paying them billions of dollars. I said, wait a minute, we're supposed to be protecting you from Russia and you're paying them billions of dollars. What's that all about? Now, do you think that's a positive for Russia? I’m talking them out of things that where they were given billions of dollars. It's ridiculous by the way that that's happening. And then on top of that, Germany pays a fraction of what they should be paying for defense. We're supposed to be defend them. So they’re paying Russia and we're supposed to defend them from Russia. so just look at that point. But look at the sanctions I have put on. Look at the diplomats I threw out. Look at all the things that I have done. Nobody else did what I have done. Obama didn’t do it. Obama was a patsy for Russia. He was a total patsy. Look at the statement he made. When he thought the mics were turned off okay, the stupid statement he made. No one makes a big deal of that. getting along with President Putin getting along with Russia is a positive not a negative. Now, with that being said if that doesn’t work out I'll be the worst enemy he's ever had.. the worst he's ever had.
