Important to revisit this one.
Remarks by President Trump and Vice President Pence at Ceremonial Swearing-In of General Charles Brown as Chief of Staff of the Air Force
NATIONAL SECURITY & DEFENSE
Issued on: August 4, 2020
Don’t forget:
President Trump held an Oval Office ceremony for Gen. Charles Q. Brown to become Air Force Chief of Staff (who oversees resource allocation/dissemination for all USAF various DEPTs, including Space Force).
Trump said of CQB:
“Confirmed 98 to nothing”
“This is a capper”(used cartridge)
“Last chance to get out of it”
This was going to be in a different location, and there’s only one Oval Office. I said, “This is the big leagues, and we have to have you and your family over to celebrate.” This is an incredible occasion.
There’s only one thing I worry about: Charles was confirmed 98 to nothing. That makes me a little bit concerned, right? Ninety-eight — (laughter). I’ve never heard — I’ve never heard that before. You understand what that means: 98 to nothing. So that’s an achievement.
But you have had an incredible career, and this is a capper, and I just want to congratulate you. And it’s an honor to have you in this very fabled office and to have you in the White House.
THE PRESIDENT: Well, you know, this is your last chance to get out of it, okay? (Laughter.) Because in another minute, that won’t happen, right? This is it. Okay.
