Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, more and more Americans are recognizing that Donald Trump is unfit to be President--his divisive tactics, his racism, and his mendacity--but this Trump shutdown has shown further that he is truly incapable of being President. His fabled dealmaking ability appears to be just a television act. When he reaches an agreement, his extremist cohorts will not let him close the deal. He mistakes tweeting for government. He just cannot lead. Since this Trump shutdown began, this self-described ``stable genius'' has failed to hold a single bipartisan meeting, nor even make a public appearance, though he did dispatch his son, Eric, to declare-- amazingly--that the government shutdown is a ``good thing for us.'' It is not a good thing for America. This Congress must lead in supporting the needs of our people and recognizing that we must put America first in this situation. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Members are reminded to refrain from engaging in personalities toward the President. ____________________”
