And he's standing next to it and he says, You know, Jesse, some people say my Twitter account is the modern-day equivalent of the Gettysburg Address. That drew a big laugh from the TPUSA crowd. I said, some people, meaning you?' Watters said he fired back at Trump. He did not share what the president said in response."

Trump planned on taking the painting with him when he left the White House, but the cable anchor told him he did not think that was a good idea."
