Quotes About President

I do have to say when we read certain words being used to describe President Trump - it's never been done. It wasn't done about President Obama.

In a president, character is everything. A president doesn't have to be brilliant... He doesn't have to be clever; you can hire clever... You can hire pragmatic, and you can buy and bring in policy wonks. But you cant buy courage and decency, you cant rent a strong moral sense. A president must bring those things with him.
