Remarks:

Inflation was caused by Joe Biden

You’ll never hear me say someone should defy a court order. Doesn’t mean I agree with it. You can certainly appeal it and criticize it but you can’t ignore it.

One of my colleagues threatened Supreme Court justices over the abortion case. It undermines the role of law.

Nobody knows if tariffs will lead to inflation

Canadian PM said Trump is interfering with free trade. If I were president I would reduce tariffs to 0 and have Canada reciprocate.

Trump makes a valid point about tariffs being inconsistent and uneven. US has 8x more people and 10x

My [Dem] friends who don’t want to vote for the bill, that’s fine. I tell them follow your heart but take your brain with you.

It would be stupid to shut the government down. Scares the hell out of the elderly.
