You have to be careful, because, in the [Donald] Trump stimulus package, there were two elements. One is the infrastructure investment program, which at this moment doesn't have the financing spelled out in any effective form.

Donald Trump rejected charges of ties between his campaign and Russia, blasted the intelligence community for leaks, and repeatedly attacked the news media. The president said he inherited a mess at home and abroad, but he dismissed the notion of a White House in turmoil.

There's no doubt that [tax cuts] act as a stimulus. How could they not, in a sense? You're giving cash back to households.

Is this administration, the Clinton administration, an administration that needed defending?

I have no doubt about it. I think this is a part of the nature of man, a desire for freedom, for dignified life.

Every president feels that he has gotten unfair, dishonest coverage from the news media.

Americans tend not to be too enthusiastic about having their taxes raised again....But if the American people aren't going to accept it, if the politicians don't have the courage to raise taxes, what are we facing down the road?
