Hannity lobbing a softball "you wouldn't ever commit crimes, would you?" and Trump responding with a "Hell yes I would. I love crime." is the funniest recurring bit in politics
Hannity: “I can’t imagine you ever saying, ‘Bring me some boxes we brought back from the White House. I’d like to look at them.’”
Trump: “I would do that..I have the right to take stuff! You know they ended up paying Nixon $18 million for what he had.”
