President Donald Trump chucked his prepared remarks at Thursday's tax reform roundtable in West Virginia in the air on Thursday, quipping it was "boring" after going on a lengthy tangent.
Trump spoke for nearly 20 minutes at the outset of the event, touching on topics ranging from MS-13 to immigration laws to the states he carried in the 2016 election.
"I think with that, I'll start. You know, this was going to be my remarks," he said, holding up his one-page speech. "It would have taken about two minutes, but what the hell."
Trump threw the page up in the air, drawing laughter.
"That would have been a little boring. Little boring," he said. "I'm reading off the first paragraph. I said, 'This is boring. Come on. We have to tell it like it is.'"
