Pakistan doesn’t do a ‘damn thing’ for us: Trump

TIL Desk/World/Washington/ Pakistan doesn’t do ‘a damn thing for us’, United States President Donald Trump said in his latest interview, while defending his administration’s decision to pull hundreds of millions of dollars in military aid to the country. Trump further charged that the Pakistan government helped wanted terrorist Osama Bin Laden to hide in their country.

“We give Pakistan $1.3 billion a year . … [bin Laden] lived in Pakistan, we’re supporting Pakistan, we’re giving them $1.3 billion a year — which we don’t give them anymore, by the way, I ended it because they don’t do anything for us, they don’t do a damn thing for us,” Trump was quoted saying in the interview.

Speaking exclusively to Fox News’ Chris Wallace in a wide-ranging interview, Trump also admitted that he occasionally enjoys calling on CNN’s chief White House correspondent Jim Acosta. “Actually I like to do it, but in many cases I don’t,” Trump said. Trump, speaking to Wallace, floated another idea for dealing with Acosta.

“I think one of the things we’ll do is maybe turn the camera off that faces them, because then they don’t have any air time, although I’ll probably be sued for that and maybe, you know, win or lose it, who knows,” Trump said in the interview.
