I'm not going to end the shutdown because I won't get what I want.

This should have been done by all the presidents that preceded me and they all know it. Some of them have told me that we should have done it.

I can relate and I'm sure that the people that are on the receiving end will make adjustment. They always do.

Economic numbers looking REALLY good. Can you imagine if I had long term ZERO interest rates to play with like the past administration, rather than the rapidly raised normalized rates we have today. That would have been SO EASY! Still…

...The Fake News will knowingly lie and demean in order make the tremendous success of the Trump Administration, and me, look as bad as possible. They use non-existent sources &amp, write stories that are total fiction. Our Country is…

This should have been done by all of the presidents that preceded me and they all know it. Some of them have told me, that we should have done it.

I never said we're doing it that quickly, but we're decimating ISIS.

....The Fake News Media in our Country is the real Opposition Party. It is truly the Enemy of the People! We must bring honesty back to journalism and reporting!

With all of the success that our Country is having, including the just released jobs numbers which are off the charts, the Fake News &amp, totally dishonest Media concerning me and my presidency has never been worse. Many have become…

We're looking at a national emergency because we have a national emergency. Just read the papers. We have a crisis at the border of drugs, of human beings being trafficked all over the world. They're coming through. And we have an absolute…

Will be going to Camp David tomorrow morning for meetings on Border Security and many other topics with @WhiteHouse senior staff.

I don’t care that most of the workers not getting paid are Democrats, I want to stop the Shutdown as soon as we are in agreement on Strong Border Security! I am in the White House ready to go, where are the Dems?

As I have stated many times, if the Democrats take over the House or Senate, there will be disruption to the Financial Markets. We won the Senate, they won the House. Things will settle down. They only want to impeach me because they know…

He prefers calling it a strike.

We will take in billions and billions of dollars, far more than the cost of the wall. The wall is peanuts compared to what the value of this trade deal is to the United States.

I'm very proud of doing what I'm doing. I don't call it a shutdown. I call it doing what you have to do for the benefit and for the safety of our country.

Well, the safety net is going to be having a strong border because we're going to be safe. Many of the people you are discussing, I really believe that they agree with what we're doing.

The safety net is having a strong border. We will be safe. I'm not talking about economically but ultimately economically.

I am proud to shut down the border security. The people of this country don't want criminals and people that have lots of problems and drugs pouring into our country. So, I will take the mantle. I will be the one to shut it down. I'm not…

I thought her comments were disgraceful. Using language like that in front of her son and whoever else was there, I thought that was a great dishonor to her and to her family.

A wall. I build buildings that are 94 stories tall. And that's tough stuff. You know, this is -- this is so easy.

In fact, he's going veto them.

Without a wall you cannot have border security. Without a very strong form of barrier, call it what you will, but without a wall, you cannot have border security, it won't work.

The RNC has a great Chairwoman in Ronna McDaniel and the @GOP has never been stronger. We achieved historic wins with her help last year! #MAGA🇺🇸
