Rapid Response 47

"President Trump approaches this as a realist: you take the world as it is, not how you want it to be," says Senator Eric Schmitt on the war in Ukraine.

"People that are critical... live in this fantasy world [where] another round of sanctions or another round of weapons or another round of cash is going to solve the problem — and it won't."

Karoline Leavitt: "If this were Republican Members of Congress who were encouraging members of the military and members of our U.S. government to defy orders from the President... this entire room would be up in arms — but instead, it is the other way around and I think that's quite telling."

@RapidResponse

HASSETT: "The September numbers were absolutely hit out of the park... there's actually proof in the pudding that POTUS' policies are really working... there was a big surge in construction workers... we counted 11 major companies that broke ground on new factories..."

@RapidResponse

Dr. Oz: "We have some major flaws with the way these Covid-era subsidies were added... The problem with the approach that was taken... it creates incentives for fraud."

@RapidResponse

NEC Director Kevin Hassett: Purchasing power dropped by about $3,000 under Joe Biden because the wages didn't keep up with prices. Under POTUS, it's already gone up by about $1,200. We understand that people still feel the pain of the high prices, but we're closing the gap fast.

@RapidResponse

Scott Bessent: "It's going to be through growth... In the first two quarters, we are going to see the inflation curve bend down and the real income curve substantially accelerate — and when those two lines cross, Americans are going to feel it."

@RapidResponse

Kash Patel: "We are delivering this accountability... they built this weaponization scheme over the course of a decade plus. In these first 8 months that we’ve been there, we’ve already charged individuals thanks to this great Department of Justice, who are at the pinnacle of this weaponization of government."

@RapidResponse

POTUS on his tariffs dividend proposal: "When I pay people $2,000 each for low- and moderate-income and middle-income people — everybody but the rich will get this — that's not made up. That's real money. That comes from other countries."

@RapidResponse

"They just want to burn it down. They don't care if the troops don't get paid. They don't care if you cause billions of dollars in lost productivity... They just want to get Trump," says JD Vance on Democrats.

"It shows how stupid that approach is."

@RapidResponse

Democrats "caused a lot of stress for our troops. They made our air traffic controllers not get paid...They had a lot of people thinking they weren't going to get [SNAP]," says JD Vance on the Dem Shutdown.

"All for LITERALLY NOTHING...We could've struck this exact deal 45 days ago."

@RapidResponse

JD Vance on what he's learned from POTUS: "The President is amazing at compartmentalizing things... I think that's one of the reasons why he can handle ten different problems at once."

"He has better instincts about human beings than anybody that I've ever met."

@RapidResponse

POTUS: "Under the Trump Administration, we believe that every American child deserves a safe and loving home, and we're determined to support the amazing families who help make that happen... I just want to thank you all for being in the White House." ❤️

@RapidResponse

POTUS and FLOTUS sign a "Fostering the Future" Executive Order — building on the First Lady's initiative to modernize the foster care system and empower youth transitioning out of foster care with the tools they need for independence and success.

@RapidResponse

POTUS: "The Democrats shutdown has inflicted massive harm. They caused 20,000 flights to be cancelled or delayed... they deprived more than 1M government workers from their paychecks and cut off food stamp benefits of millions and millions of Americans in need."

@RapidResponse

POTUS: "I'm always willing to work with anyone, including the other party. We'll work on something having to do with healthcare... and we're going to forget this Obamacare madness."

@RapidResponse

JD Vance: POTUS is lowering prescription drug costs through things like Most Favored Nation pricing — and he's doing it by working with the industry since Democrats haven't been willing to partner with us to lower prices.

@RapidResponse

Karoline Leavitt: "Democrats dragged on the government shutdown for 43 DAYS... President Trump looks forward to finally ending this devastating Democrat Shutdown with his signature — and we hope that signing will take place later tonight."

@RapidResponse

Karoline Leavitt on tariff dividend payouts: "The White House is committed to making that happen, yes — and we are currently exploring all legal options to get that done."

@RapidResponse

POTUS talks about the influence of his father on his passion for building: "My father was a builder, so as a little boy, I'd be sitting there playing with blocks, and my father would be on the phone... and I'd be listening." ❤️
