It doesn't seem to me like he would be covered by executive privilege, but that doesn't mean that the president can't assert it and have it litigated.

If I was Trump, I'd be trumpeting this. I think it's a good sign for them.

I guarantee you neither candidate for president by the time November of 2020 rolls around will have a net positive favorability.

I think the president has done I believe a very good job in getting China to the table here.

I think the first two points are legitimate points. I mean, the fact is that the president should not be doing this. He shouldn't -- it would be a violation of the law as far as I understand it.

I hope that's not true and if it is true, I hope they put on end to it very quickly.

I think the president is responding to the Chinese advice that said they wanted in this trade dispute, they don't want escalation, they want to calm the resolution.

I think that's just who he is and it's inappropriate. He shouldn't do it.

I think the president paid a price. I mean, that's a story to be told, too.

This is one of the things I scratch my head and wonder why the president doesn't see the obvious -- not just conflict of interest but how it could be used by his political opponents to undermine some of the good things that he's trying to…

the long-term goal of dealing with China and they are undermining our economy is more important than 3 percent, I mean 2 percent versus 3 percent growth.

I need your back. If I'm going to be able to stand up to the Chinese and fight the Chinese and win -- and look, as much as the economy is being hurt here in the U.S., it pails in comparison what is happening to China.
