Trump claims you need an ID to "go shopping"

Trump: "I watch Schumer. What a horrible politician. He is now a Palestinian officially. He is registered as a Palestinian. He wants to protect the Iranian people that are quite nasty."

Trump: "MAGA is great. And we'll always respect MAGA. We love MAGA. We're never gonna let you down with MAGA. MAGA."

Trump announces he's giving $1 million for House Republican campaigns

Trump: "The greatest thing about being president is I no longer have to contribute. Nobody ever asks me for money."

Trump: "No other president can do some of this shit I'm doing"

Trump on cutting drug prices: "It's driving the fake news crazy, because I say '400 percent, 500 percent, 600,' depending on the way you want to talk about it."

Trump on healthcare: "We can own the issue! For the first time ever Republicans can own that issue."

Trump to House Republicans: "You're owned by nobody, right? Nobody? Some of them are a little bit shaky, but they're Republicans and we love them anyway, right Mike?"

Trump: "One of the first targets must be the crushing healthcare. We have to crush the, and take over the, healthcare situation, which we can do."

Trump: "They said the word 'affordability.' That's the first time I ever heard it. My first day in office, they said 'affordability.' They're the ones that caused the problem but we're really down prices big. Do you notice you don't hear that word anymore, Mike?"

FOX NEWS: Do you think President Trump will add to the petroleum reserve, as some are saying he should?

BURGUM: Well, back in 2020 President Trump wanted to get the thing filled to the max, but Chuck Schumer and the Democrats voted agai-- uh, President Trump is a buy low, sell high guy

Burgum on gas prices: "As President Trump says, this price increase is going to be temporary and it is a small price to pay for the idea that we're gonna get rid of a terrorist regime"

Kudlow: "$3.50 gasoline -- people are talking like this is the end of the world. No, it's not. In return for what? In return for completely rewriting history favorably to the United States."

Blackburn: "For people to say, 'Well, it's so hard to get an ID' or 'It's hard to get a birth certificate' -- I would introduce them to the internet. Applications can be made online to get the necessary documentation. It's imperative that people prove who they are to vote in our elections."

Blackburn: "You have to have an ID to go to your child's or grandchild's school, you gotta have it to buy a 6 pack of beer, you've got to have it when you check in at the doctor's office, you gotta have it to get on a plane, you even have to have an ID to get federal govt benefits. Come on now."

reality, or an early draft of next Saturday's SNL cold open? you decide

oh my goodness -- watch Mike Johnson, Scalise, Emmer, and McClain clap like seals for Trump for nearly two minutes straight. None of them want to be the first to stop!

Trump: "We took a little excursion because we felt we had to do that to get rid of some evil. I think you'll see it's going to be a short-term excursion. Short term. Short term!"

this is frankly one of the most bonkers 60 seconds in Fox & Friends history -- Lawrence Jones chastising Democrats for hurting Trump by commenting on realty immediately followed by Brian Kilmeade admonishing tanker captains to "show some guts and go through that Strait." Incredible stuff.

the Trump administration's affordability message could use some work

Trump: "Australia is making a terrible humanitarian mistake by allowing the Iran National Woman’s Soccer team to be forced back to Iran, where they will most likely be killed. Don’t do it, Mr. Prime Minister, give ASYLUM. The U.S. will take them if you won’t. Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP" (Trump's bombs have killed over 1,300 Iranians, including scores of children)

Brian Kilmeade this morning to oil tanker captains: "If you want to diminish the Iranian threat, if you want to make sure this ends with complete Iran capitulation, show some guts and go through that Strait."

Tammy Bruce: "Clearly the president's actions indicate that he would rather have diplomacy"

Sen. Rick Scott: "Iran is evil. China is evil. North Korea is evil. Communist China is evil. So we're got at least four now. Maybe we'll be down to less now with Venezuela changing and with what Trump is doing in Cuba. Hopefully we'll have more people cooperating."

Sen. Rick Scott: "What would the cost be if they had a nuclear weapon and used it against America? What would the cost be if they had long-range ballistic weapons and used them against America? So this is a good long-term investment for peace and prosperity, stability, in the US and worldwide."

Homeland Security @DHSgov Democrats must end this DHS shutdown NOW.

it is not normal for official government social media channels to behave like arms of the Republican Party
