I have the highest of IQs. I have the highest. I'm fine, and I understand that stuff. You know, my uncle was at MIT for 41 years, and you know, I'm a—I believe in genetics, frankly, and I understand.

Trump's "pocket rescission" of $810 million in spending across several agencies, an appropriation Trump himself previously signed into law, is troubling, not because the spending in question is good, but because it strikes at Congress's constitutional power of the purse. [David Ditch, @cato.org]

Congress Should Put an End to Pocket Rescissions

Congress has the power and responsibility to authorize and manage all aspects of federal spending. It should start acting like it.

TIME: Would you rule out declaring a state of emergency in the lead up to the midterms? TRUMP: I don't rule anything out or in. We'll see. You mean the Insurrection Act? TIME: Yeah. TRUMP: No, I've never used it. I could use it. A lot of people think I should use it sometimes.

Do you plan to dispatch ICE agents to polling places in the midterms?

Haven't thought of it.

Would you rule out declaring a state of emergency in the lead up to the midterms unless there's widespread violence in the streets?

I don't rule anything out or in. We'll see. You mean the Insurrection Act?

Yeah.

No, I've never used it. I could use it. A lot of people think I should use it sometimes. We have the best—look, we have the lowest crime in the history of our country. We have the lowest murder rate since 1900, 125 years. We have the lowest murder rate. That's despite the fact that they allowed 25 million people.

Trump now says "If I weren't president, Saudi Arabia wouldn't be here right now ... They'd be wiped off the face of the planet." 🙃

Yes, there were reports after the Houthi attacks that Saudi Arabia wasn't pleased that the U.S. didn't come to its defense. What's your relationship like with the Saudis right now?

Good, good. I've done a lot for Saudi Arabia. I protect Saudi Arabia. If I weren't president, Saudi Arabia wouldn't be here right now. Neither would Israel. They'd be wiped off the face of the planet. I do a lot for Saudi Arabia. My relationship with them is very good. I like the crown prince. My relationship is very good. But remember, if I weren't here, there wouldn't be a Saudi Arabia. There wouldn't be an Israel. There wouldn't be various other countries also.
