Mr. President, before I deliver the body of my remarks, I do want to respond briefly to my colleague, the Senator from Wyoming, on the question of national security because just last night, we learned that President Trump had fired the head of the National Security Agency right after his meeting with Laura Loomer, a rightwing activist. Not only was the head of NSA fired, but so were some other folks who worked at the National Security Council. This is part of a pattern of President Trump firing people who have experience, people who know their subject matter, and replacing them with political cronies.

When he was a candidate going all over the country, Donald Trump said that he was going to look out for the forgotten Americans, that he was going to focus on kitchen-table issues. He was going to bring down prices on day one. On day one, he was going to bring down prices. Yet, what we are witnessing right now is just the opposite.
