876. Sean Duffy: “I’m about to pull $160 million from California, and as we pull more money we also have the option of pulling California’s ability to issue commercial driver’s licenses.”
877. Welker: Why didn’t the president tell the public he was going to tear down the entire East Wing, which as you know is part of the people’s house?
Bessent: Well, I think this was a judgment call on the president. The president is a master builder. It could’ve been asbestos. It could’ve been mold.

873. Trump: “Canada was caught, red handed, putting up a fraudulent advertisement on Ronald Reagan’s Speech on Tariffs. The Reagan Foundation said that they, “created an ad campaign using selective audio and video of President Ronald Reagan. The ad misrepresents the Presidential Radio Address,” and “did not seek nor receive permission to use and edit the remarks. The Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute is reviewing its legal options in this matter.” The sole purpose of this FRAUD was Canada’s hope that the United States Supreme Court will come to their “rescue” on Tariffs that they have used for years to hurt the United States. Now the United States is able to defend itself against high and overbearing Canadian Tariffs (and those from the rest of the World as well!). Ronald Reagan LOVED Tariffs for purposes of National Security and the Economy, but Canada said he didn’t! Their Advertisement was to be taken down, IMMEDIATELY, but they let it run last night during the World Series, knowing that it was a FRAUD. Because of their serious misrepresentation of the facts, and hostile act, I am increasing the Tariff on Canada by 10% over and above what they are paying now. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”
874. Miller: “The East Wing which is not part of The White House was a cheaply built add-on structure in the mid-20th century badly in need of refurbishment, repair, and renovation…”
875. Miller: “The scandal is how Democrats and the left scarred the landscape of our country w/grotesque so-called modern art that celebrates ugliness ... very importantly, President Trump is making sure it’s in the neo-classical design around which our nation’s architecture has long been directed”
