During the audience Q&A, a rather starstruck woman named Deborah Williams asked Trump a relatively tough question — “What could you share that you have learned during the first time being in the Oval Office for those who are hesitant to vote for you now?”
Trump’s answer began with praise for himself and moved on to focus on other people messing up:
HANNITY: All right, ma’am, hi. What’s your name?
DEBORAH WILLIAMS, PENNSYLVANIA: My name is Deborah Williams (ph).
HANNITY: Hi, Deborah. How are you?
WILLIAMS: I’m good now.
(LAUGHTER)
HANNITY: Hi, Deborah. Oh, because of me or because of the president? I’m just guessing. No, I’m kidding.
WILLIAMS: I plead the Fifth.
(LAUGHTER)
HANNITY: Good answer.
WILLIAMS: Mr. President, I want to thank you for coming and sharing your time with us today.
TRUMP: Thank you, Deborah.
WILLIAMS: What could you share that you have learned during the first time being in the Oval Office for those who are hesitant to vote for you now?
TRUMP: So we need a strong president. And I actually think we had a very stable administration, but we were hit with this weaponization.
We were hit, weaponize — they I have never done this before, the weaponization, all of the different Russia, Russia, Russia hoax, all of the different hoaxes. And we won every single one of them.
(CHEERING)
(APPLAUSE)
TRUMP: The most important thing — and I found it — and you could say this is true in business also — we have to get the right people.
When I first went there, 2016, we were — I had a lot of good people, I had a lot of good advice, but I put people in that in some cases were not what I really wanted, because I didn’t know much about Washington. I was there 17 times in my whole life, and I wasn’t in D.C. very much.
But I got to know them, and I got to know them the hard way. And I know the good ones, the bad ones, the weak ones, the smart ones, the dumb ones. I know them all now.
(CHEERING)
(APPLAUSE)
TRUMP: And the key, the key — and we had great ones. I mean, economic development, we did so well. The military, we did fantastically well. We knocked out ISIS, 100 percent of the ISIS caliphate. We have some great people in the military…
(CHEERING)
(APPLAUSE)
TRUMP: … not the ones that you see on television, but great people.
But a big key to running it is get the right people. You put the right person and the right group of people at the heads of these massive agencies, you’re going to have tremendous success. And I know now the people, and I know them better than anybody would know them, so thank you very much.
HANNITY: Thank you, Deborah.
