Did you submit your application for National Security Adviser yet?
You can probably do it on Linkedin. Great job, you don't even have to make a decision. Perfect job for Detbuch, he could write long reports that aren't read.
Q Mr. President, are you considering Secretary Pompeo to also be the National Security Advisor?
THE PRESIDENT: No, I wouldn’t. I think he’s fantastic, but I actually spoke to Mike Pompeo about that, and he decided — and he and I — I get along with him so well. We have a lot of the same views, and a couple of a little different views. But he likes the idea of having somebody in there with him, and I do too.
I think that we’ll have an answer for you — we have — we have 15 candidates. Everybody wants it badly, as you can imagine. And we’ll probably next week sometime make that decision. And we look forward to that.
Q (Inaudible) 15 candidates. Yesterday, you said you had five candidates.
THE PRESIDENT: We had. We have at least 10 more. A lot of people want the job. And we — it’s a great job. It’s great because it’s a lot of fun to work with Donald Trump. And it’s very easy, actually, to work with me. You know why it’s easy? Because I make all the decisions. They don’t have to work.
