Rapid Response 47

President Trump was interviewed by his granddaughter, Kai, a few weeks ago — and they shared some cool moments, like when she asks him if there are still dreams he's trying to chase. ❤️

@RapidResponse

Scott Bessent: "We would've made an announcement this week if it weren't for the government shutdown. If Chuck Schumer would end the Schumer Shutdown, we would have announced an ag program to bridge our farmers until the next season."

@RapidResponse

Secretary Rollins: "When we left Trump 1.0, we had an agriculture trade surplus. When we came back for Trump 2.0, it was a $50 billion Ag deficit... the cost of inputs for our farmers increased on average between 30-38%... all of this came about under Joe Biden."

@RapidResponse

"The hostages will be coming back Monday or Tuesday. I'll probably be there — I hope to be there... I look forward to it," says POTUS.

"Everybody's celebrating. Everybody loves the deal, so it's a great honor to have been working on it."

@RapidResponse

"I blame the Democrats... It's their fault," says POTUS on his message to Americans affected by the Democrat Shutdown.

"My message is call your local representative — congressman or senator — and tell them to get on the ball. The Democrats have caused this problem."

@RapidResponse

"I'm meeting with the troops and I'm also going to do a semi-annual physical," says POTUS on his trip to Walter Reed tomorrow.

"Physically, I feel very good; mentally, I feel very good... When I'm around, I like to check — always early. Always be early."

@RapidResponse

POTUS absolutely wrecks CNN (again): "This is CNN speaking, by the way. This is one of the worst reporters that you'll ever— I don't even want to take a question."

🤣🤣🤣

@RapidResponse

POTUS: "We have a very serious left-wing terror threat in our country. Radicals associated with the domestic terror group Antifa... and other Far Left extremists have been carrying out a campaign of violence."

@RapidResponse

Pam Bondi: "We're not going to have it anymore—these thugs...this is not activism; it's anarchy... Under your leadership, President Trump, we're deploying the full might of federal law enforcement to crack down on Antifa and other domestic terrorist organizations."

@RapidResponse

Katie Daviscourt: "I want to focus on what is happening in Portland at the ICE facility. I've been covering this for the past four months... This is nothing short [of] a sustained attack on the United States."

@RapidResponse

POTUS on Gaza peace talks: "I'll be going to Egypt, most likely. That's where everybody is gathered right now... I'll be making the rounds, as the expression goes."

@RapidResponse

WATCH: Andy Ngo speaks about the violent attack he once faced while covering Antifa in Portland:

"I was ambushed in a mob beating... The punches came from everywhere — on my head and my face, and I was bleeding out of my eyes and ears."

@RapidResponse

PORTLAND BUSINESS OWNER: "We struggle every day, every week, with the crime and the drugs and just the unsafeness that comes with being here... It's like our leaders have abandoned public safety."

@RapidResponse

🔥 Pam Bondi slams the Democrats for fueling political violence:

"Antifa feels empowered to operate in the open because weak Democrats have turned a blind eye to their actions. Their hatred for President Trump and for law-and-order agendas fuels their violence."

@RapidResponse

Julio Rosas: "Antifa is real. It's real; it's a threat... The reason why they're such a big problem is because we have Democrats and a lot of people in the mainstream media refusing to acknowledge that they even exist."

@RapidResponse

"Yesterday morning, I was broken into again for the TENTH TIME," says a business owner in downtown Portland.

"We need help... If [the National Guard] is what we need to do to get our leaders paying attention to what's happening in Portland, then I think it's a good thing."

@RapidResponse

"This is going to continue to get more and more of a burden on the veteran," says VA Secretary Doug Collins on the Democrat Shutdown.

He says hospitals are open and disability is going out, but outreach — getting veterans to the system, outreach, career counseling, etc — are all affected.

@RapidResponse

"The epidemic of left-wing violence and Antifa-inspired terror has been escalating for nearly a decade," says POTUS.

"We're going to be far more threatening to them than they ever were with us — and that includes the people that fund them."

@RapidResponse

"Many of my constituents have been engaged for quite a long time — most of them middle-aged women," says Congresswoman Maxine Dexter on protests against ICE in Portland.

"There can be challenges with peace."

@RapidResponse

POTUS: "I was just dealing with people from the Middle East... on the potential peace deal... it's something I think that will happen — got a good chance of happening. I may go there sometime toward the end of the week, maybe on Sunday, actually."
