What they’re saying

“America is healing slowly. And I think it's in a way that people generally don't understand or can't comprehend, because Trump is doing things that maybe don't make sense to a lot of people but in the long run will pay off and, in the long run, return amazing outcomes for the United States.”

“Just being ruthless and cutthroat, maybe not doing things for public favor or being liked by everybody — I think there are even Republicans who are like, 'Why is this happening? Why is this happening?' They don't know the inner workings and how deep and intricate things are or how big these problems are and how to solve them.”
