If you're asking me do we want clean air and clean water? Yes. Do we want a safer climate for future generations of the world? Of course we want that. We're working super hard here in Trump Tower to make sure that happens.

There's a ton of stuff we can do to help the economy and help the American people, and the aspirational working class of the American people.

I don't think I need to be an apologist for working hard and being a very large taxpayer.

What I know is that if you put the right policies in place that will lead to economic growth, society will be better.

Today, the message is that we have to help the middle class and the aspirational worker in the United States.

It's better for the United States and better for the world to have the U.S. be energy independent. Have us have clean air and clean water and protect the environment for future generations of Americans. All of that makes sense.

I'm more of an empiricist. I'm focused on right or wrong, as opposed to left or right.
