Is Trump strong? People don't know it.
Nobody knows what that means. Right? He knows what
I'm talkin' about. <i> [light music]</i> - Last night President Trump
was at another campaign rally. This time in Tampa,
and, once again, he said something
that left us going, "Huh?" - The time has come for voter ID like
everything else. Voter ID. [cheers and applause] You know if you go out and you want to buy groceries,
you need a picture on a card. You need ID. You go out and you want
to buy anything you need ID and you need
your picture. [laughter] - Something tells me
this guy has never been
grocery shopping. Like ever. He probably tried it once, but the first thing you see
when you walk in is the produce aisle so he just walked
right back out. He was like,
"Ew, vegetables. Gross. "Oh, 'gross-eries,'
I get it now. One day I'll be president!" <i> [sprightly music]</i> - If you have a windmill

[imitates wonky cranking] [laughter] - Okay, I've never heard
a windmill before, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't
sound like a cat in a dryer. "Weow, weow. "And don't get me started
on solar panels-- "[imitates cartoonish
wolf howl] "And what about hydropower?
You know the sound water makes. [imitates horse neighing,

are in a faceoff,</i> <i> a battle for the ages.</i> <i> Whoever controls 5G
is gonna have</i> <i> an enormous strategic
advantage in the future.</i> - If we don't win
the race to 5G, America might never
really become that leading superpower again. <i> - Senator Marco Rubio
compares the race to 5G</i> <i> to the space race
with the Soviets of the '50s.</i> - Yeah, this is serious, folks, and I know right now
what you're thinking. You're like, "Oh, my God,
I can't believe America might lose the race for 5G." And you're also thinking,
"What is 5G?" Now, I know it's weird. 5G sounds like the worst seats
to get on a long flight, but... 5G's really about the future
of the internet, really. Actually, why don't I just let the president
explain it to you. - It's all about 5G now. We were at 4G and everybody
was saying we have to get 4G, and then they said
before that we have to get 3G. And now we have to get 5G
and 5G's a big deal, and that's gonna be there
for a while. And I guess,
at some point, we'll be talking to you
about number 6. What do you think?
You think that's true, Asia? - Uh, okay. I don't think the president
understands what 5G is either. [as Trump]
"You got--you got 5G "then 6G and then of course
there's Kenny G, the smoothest of the Gs." <i> [elegant classical music]</i> Some exciting news for people who do not like dying
in a plane crash. - Breaking news:
President Trump says the United States will issue
an emergency order grounding all
Boeing 737 Max As after reviewing evidence from
the Ethiopian airline's crash. The U.S. is essentially
the very last country to ban the aircraft
from flying. Here's the president. - Any plane currently
in the air will go to its destination
and thereafter be grounded until further notice
so, uh, planes that are in the air
will be grounded... if they are the 737 Max--
will be grounded upon landing
at the destination. - Can we appreciate
how cute he is when he's trying to explain
something to us that somebody had to explain
to him five minutes ago? He's like, "All the airplanes
will be grounded, "but not the ones flying, um... "They can land first,
then they will be grounded. "Um, some people didn't
understand "how you can ground
a plane in the sky, "but I'm not those people. I knew always.
Those ones will be grounded." So as of today, any plane that might be unsafe
to fly will be grounded until it can be repainted with "Spirit Airlines"
on the side. Spirit Airlines:
how are we not grounded? <i> [graceful classical music]</i> This has been a wild week for the Trump presidency, making it the 124th
wild presidency week in a row. It started a few days ago
when Trump averted a crisis of his own making
by deciding not to impose tariffs
on Mexico because he said
he made a deal. However, critics pointed out that many of the things
that Mexico promised to do to stop illegal immigration
were the same promises that they had made
months before, but then Trump came back saying that he had
a secret deal with Mexico, which no one believed. So yesterday he did this. [helicopter whirring] - Can you show us?
- What is that-- - That's the agreement that
everyone says I don't have. So--no, because
I'm gonna let Mexico do the announcement
at the right time. For Mexico, they want
to go through it, but here's the agreement.
It's a very simple agreement. - Okay, okay. There are two possibilities
here. And neither of them are good. Either the president
just whipped out a takeout menu and claimed it's
a secret agreement with Mexico, which it could be, or it's a real agreement and the president
is just walking around with secret documents
in his pocket. Right, the same guy
who was worried about Hillary's server
getting hacked by Russians, meanwhile he could get hacked
by a gust of wind. Or even worse,
a pigeon. 'Cause he'd just be like,
"And here it is, "the secret document "that--ah! Stop that pigeon! "Stop that pigeon! It's headed to the Kremlin." <i> ♪ ♪</i> <i> announcer: "Donsplaining."</i> <i> announcer: "Donsplaining."</i> <i> [light music]</i> - With all the support
behind him, President Trump decided
to plow forward on proving his case
for a border wall. So today,
the commander in chief <i> put on his travel
Barbie outfit</i> <i> and flew down
to the southern border</i> <i> to get a first-hand account
of the situation,</i> <i> and while he was there</i> <i> he gave us all
a drunk history lesson.</i> - They say a wall
is medieval. Well, so is a wheel. A wheel is older
than a wall. And I looked,
and every single car out there, even the really
expenses ones that the secret service
uses, and, believe me,
they are expensive-- I said, "Do they all
have wheels?" "Yes."
"Oh. I thought
it was medieval." The wheel is older
than the wall, you know that? And, uh, there are some things
that work. You know what?
A wheel works, and a wall works. - You know, if a football player
got up after a tackle and started talking like that,
the trainer would be like, "We need to get you
to the locker room now. Your brain is not okay." [laughter, applause] And just, by the way,
I don't even-- I can't believe
we have to say this-- if there are any kids watching that are gonna use this
on a history test walls are actually<i>
much </i> older than the wheel, right? 6,000 years older
than the wheel. [cheers and applause] Like, back in the day,
cavemen had walls. So I guess people should stop
calling Trump a Neanderthal because a Neanderthal
would know that. #NotMyNeanderthal. President Trump is demanding
$5 billion from U.S. taxpayers
to fund the wall, which is weird,
because during the campaign he might have mentioned
once or twice another idea
for where the wall money would come from. - I will build
a great, great wall on our southern border and I will have Mexico
pay for that wall. [overlapping] Mexico is going
to pay for the wall. Mexico is going
to pay for the wall 100%. Who's gonna pay for the wall? crowd: Mexico! The only thing worse
than one Trump is many Trumps. "Mexico's gonna pay for it." That was Trump's
signature catchphrase. More than
any other catchphrase. More than "you're fired." More than
"make America great again." Even more than "Don't tell
my wife about this." But we never should have
actually believed that Mexico was going to pay
for the wall, because every time
someone asked Trump how Mexico would pay he had a completely different
explanation. - There will be a payment. It will be in a form, perhaps a complicated form. One way or the other, Mexico's
gonna pay for the wall. That's right. It may be through
reimbursement, but one way or the other,
Mexico will pay for the wall. The wall will pay for itself
on a monthly basis. We're working
on a tax-reform bill that will generate revenue
from Mexico that will pay for the wall. We have a trade deficit
with Mexico of $58 billion. All I have to do
is start playing with that trade deficit, and believe me, they're gonna
pay for the wall. They may even write us a check by the time
they see what happen. Obviously, they're not
gonna write a check. It's gonna be paid for
by Canada by the way. It's gonna be paid for--
maybe I'll get Canada to pay. Gonna be paid for by Mexico. - Wait, what? You know, Donald Trump
is truly a legend. Instead of admitting
that he misspoke, he'd rather try and make Canada
pay for the wall. He's just like,
"Yeah, Canada's gonna pay-- "I mean--yeah, actually
Canada's gonna pay I might make them pay
for the wall." And shame. Canada's so nice,
they'd probably do it. They'd be like, "Um,
this is not really 'aboot' us but I guess we'll pay, eh?" Also, what did that mean
when he's like, "The wall will pay for itself
monthly"? He made it sound like America
was gonna go to the wall and be like,
"You got our money, wall?" <i> [spirited music]</i> Since just yesterday the president has given
not one not five, but three
separate interviews Now, I don't know why
I said it that way but what's important is that President Trump
has been sharing his thoughts on a variety of topics, including his favorite
Chinese hoax, climate change. <i> - Yesterday,
when the Associated Press</i> <i> told him that scientist say</i> <i> it is nearing a point
where this can't be reversed,</i> <i> Trump responded, "No, no.</i> <i> "Some say that and some say
differently.</i> <i> "I mean, you have scientists
on both sides of it.</i> <i> "My uncle was
a great professor</i> <i> "at MIT for many years.</i> <i> Dr. John Trump.</i> <i> "And I didn't talk to him
about this particular subject</i> <i> but I have a natural instinct
for science..."</i> - Okay. Okay, that's...
that's interesting. Just in case you missed that,
Trump says he doesn't believe
in man-made climate change because his uncle
was a scientist and that means that Trump has a natural instinct
for science. Now, he also says he never
spoke to his uncle about climate change. He just has
the science knowledge. You know, it's in his blood. Right? Now, I think
that's cholesterol but that's not the point. Like, none of this makes
any sense. Just because his uncle
was good at science doesn't mean that Trump
is good at science. That's not how it works. If a pilot has a heart attack,
they're never like, "Is anyone on this plane
related to a pilot?" "My cousin watched
that 'Sully' movie once." "All right,
you land the plane!" - President Trump explaining
why he is so skeptical of his own administration's
report on the dire consequences
on climate change. He tells "The Washington
Post"... - Clearly the president
doesn't believe in the science
or the English because if you're trying
to say you're too smart
to believe in climate change, it doesn't help
when your argument ends with "It's right now
at a record clean." Like, it makes him sound
super dumb. Or maybe--maybe Trump is
so intelligent that he's leaving
English behind. Maybe that's what it is.
Yeah. He's developing something
totally new. You know,
he's like those aliens from the movie "Arrival." Like, we just need Amy Adams
to interpret for us. - [breathing slowly] - There is a cooling

They go, "Climate change." They go--now it's sort
