Trump acknowledges cost of Quantico meeting but says it's a "great spiritizing"

Before departing the White House for his speech in Quantico, the president acknowledged that "there's a little bit of expense" to convening all senior military leaders, but indicated it's worth the cost.

"There's a little expense to that. We don't like to waste them. We'd rather spend it on bullets and rockets, frankly," Mr. Trump said. "But this was the one time we had to do a great spiritizing. It's going to be great. I've seen it already. We have every general, every admiral. We have great people. We have our real warriors over there"

The president told reporters that his administration will fire any officials who it does not believe are fit to serve.

"We had some real bad ones. I rebuilt the military, the entire military, but I had a couple," he said.
