(I'm sitting at the back of Donald Trump's office at 7:30 am on the day after his meeting with Paul Ryan)
Donald Trump, Jr.
"Dad, Got 5 minutes for a fast update on two projects?"
Donald Trump:
"Sure Donnie, c'mon in"
Donald Trump, Jr.
"But first, can you summarize your meeting with Paul Ryan?"
Donald Trump
"Sure. First, I thanked him and Congress for doing nothing over the past 16 years. If they had accomplished anything, he would be talking to one of the other 17, not me."
"Second, I told him that Congress was at 11% approval rate. So they need me a hell of a lot more than I need them. "
"Last, I said that the voters don't care about conservatism. They don't really care about idea's. They want action."
"And I leaned forward and said, 'Paul, I'm going to get things done. With you or without you. And if anyone wants to block me, I'll go to the American people and name the people blocking better trade deals, or blocking tax reform, or blocking a stronger military, or blocking me from keeping US companies in America. If you think 25,000 people coming to rallies is something, wait until 25,000 people are in your doorway."
"And then I asked if he had any questions. He said that he didn't."
"Now, how about your projects."
