Here's a look at the highlights from Trump's second series of responses to reporters at his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey: Trump said he was "surprised" to learn of the pre-dawn FBI search of his former campaign chairman Paul Manafort's Virginia home in July. "I thought it was a very, very strong signal," said Trump, elaborating that he believed such an act to be rare. He further noted that he hadn't spoken to Manafort "in a long time," but that he always found him "to be a very decent man." The president also said that he had not spoken to new FBI Director Christopher Wray about the search warrant. The president's vocal displeasure with the investigation led by Special Counsel Robert Mueller will not result in Mueller's firing, he said. "I'm not dismissing anybody," revealed Trump, who expressed interest in the findings of similar inquiries on Russian election interference being led by committees in the House and Senate. Trump also responded to a USA Today report that said he has had contact with Mueller since the investigation started, signalling his cooperation, but that "no notes" were being passed. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell Trump elaborated on his previous comments about McConnell and a series of tweets in which he seemed to criticize the senate majority leader's efforts on health care, including one earlier Thursday in which he told the senator to "get back to work." "I'm very disappointed in Mitch," said Trump. "But if he gets [health care, tax reform and an infrastructure bill] passed, I'll be very happy with him. I'll be the first to admit it." "[The repeal and replace of Obamacare] should have been on my desk the first week or the first day I was there," continued Trump. "I've been hearing about it for seven years." Other than to say she was doing a "very good job" and that he was "very proud" of her, the president provided no additional comment when asked if McConnell's wife, Secretary of Transportation Elaine Chao could mediate the apparent tensions. "I'd like to de-nuke the world," said Trump, the same afternoon in which he claimed his prior threat to bring "fire and fury" upon North Korea "wasn't tough enough." The president said that until such a day, the U.S. "will be most powerful nuclear power by far" with the "biggest, finest" nuclear arsenal. "Nobody is going to be threatening us with anything," said Trump. president trump press conference 8/10/2017 video, president trump press briefing 8/10/2017,
