This is absolutely ridiculous, I will remove it immediately, I have the authority to remove it immediately What is it, why is he doing this?” Trump said. “You know we have something that no one else has. No one has it to the extent that we have it, and there will be more of it by the time we finish, because I’m going to be able to expand it. Will be able.”

Trump told Hewitt, “We have oil and gas at a level that no one else has, and we’re going to take advantage of it. When I see someone saying they want to ban 625 million acres of land, If he’s going to put it on, he doesn’t know what it is.” , They don’t even know what 625 million acres of land will look like, and we can’t let that happen to our country, it’s really our greatest economic asset, and we can’t let that happen to our country.”
Trump said, “But you’re giving up the greatest asset that we have. I mean, if you haven’t seen it on the map, what 625 million acres of land, he’s giving up all of it.” “The good news is I can change it right away, it will be changed on the first day.”
The president-elect also criticized Biden’s Presidential Medal of Freedom recipients, particularly Democratic mega-donor George Soros.
