Trump on media disbelief and the 17 bills

    por HOMERED: Donald Trump

    President Trump says the media has finally gained respect because they can't believe what his team accomplished. He credits a great, big, beautiful bill combining seventeen separate pieces of legislation for that shift in attitude. Mike and John Thune worked with him to consolidate everything upfront, warning that failing to pass it would have made progress nearly impossible. The speaker notes the quiet atmosphere during the speech was a stark contrast to the screaming questions of the past.

    Never been anything like it. And all you have to do is talk about it, and you're going to win, and you're going to win big. So I want to thank you all. I thank the media for staying. It was very nice being so quiet. They're not screaming questions at me as I speak. But they're very good. They've been very good lately. And the reason they're good is they can't believe. The media has gained respect for us. They cannot believe what we've done. And it started with the great, big, beautiful bill and all the things, all the goodies we got there. That was 17 different bills all put into one. And Mike and myself and John Thune and some others got together and said, let's see if we can get it all up front. And if we didn't, we would be really stymied, because it would be very hard.
