We've made progress in our country, and it's been the Constitution that permitted that to happen.

There are some people who do not want this thing to continue to work, and that's what they're doing is all about. They don't want to unify. They don't want this thing to work. That's the whole point of going forth with grievance after grievance after grievance and victim after victim after victim, because this inherent system...

How can these two completely different characters exist: The Donald Trump of Washington and the Donald Trump of this trip?
