Trump hosts Softbank CEO at Mar-a-Lago after tech firm promises $100bn investment in US: Live

Graham, a staunch Trump supporter, told Kristen Welker of Meet the Press on Sunday that he disagrees with the presidency-elect.

“Something strange is going on. For some reason they won’t tell the people,” says President-elect Donald Trump when asked about the New Jersey mystery drones, asserting President Joe Biden and the US military know who is flying them.

Trump jokes because of the drones he won’t travel to his golf property in New Jersey.

“They’re very, very close to Bedminster. I think maybe I won’t spend the weekend in Bedminster. I decided to cancel my trip,” he tells reporters at Mar-a-Lago.

“The government knows what is happening. Look, our military knows where they took off from,” he said. “And for some reason, they don’t want to comment.”

MAGA acolyte Steve Bannon is currently floating the idea that Donald Trump could run for a third presidential term, even though the United States Constitution says otherwise.

During a speech at the New York Young Republican Club’s Gala on Sunday night, the former Trump chief strategist suggested that the 22nd Amendment – which states that presidents can not be elected more than twice – didn’t apply to Trump because the president-elect’s terms are non-consecutive.

“My confidence level to the economy of the United States has tremendously increased because of his victory,” Softbank CEO Masayoshi Son, standing next to Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago, says as he announces the $100 billion investment in the U.S. by his Japanese tech investment firm.

After the remarks at the top of the press conference, Trump brought up two further points.

“We’re talking about a friendly takeover, a friendly transition, as they like to say, this is a friendly transition, and it is, but there are two events that took place that I think are very terrible,” he said.

First, Trump says his administration will go to court to try and undo a five-year deal allowing certain work-from-home rights for some federal workers. He appears to be referring to the deal President Joe Biden’s administration made this month with tens of thousands of Social Security workers.

“If people don’t come back to work, come back into the office, they’re going to be dismissed,” Trump says of federal employees.

Second, he complained that materials for the border wall are being sold off at five cents on the dollar: “I’m asking today, Joe Biden, to please stop selling the wall.”
