1. "We're negotiating very long, very hard, but very quickly." (Best Deal-maker ever! He doesn't like his own deals)
3. "For the last eight years, deep defense cuts have undermined our national security, hallowed our -- and they just -- if you look at what's taken out, they've hallowed our readiness as a military unit." (hollowed?)
4. "As crazy as it's been, as difficult as it's been, as much opposition to the military as we've had from the Democrats -- and it has been tremendous." (Democrats are bad)
6. "There are a lot of things that we shouldn't have had in this bill, but we were, in a sense, forced -- if we want to build our military -- we were forced to have." (Drain the swamp?)
8. "It became so big because we need to take care of our military, and because the Democrats, who don't believe in that, added things that they wanted in order to get their votes." (Republicans are cool, guys!)
11. "I'm calling on Congress to give me a line-item veto for all government spending bills." (Highly illegal and unconstitutional.)
12. "We have to get a lot of great legislation approved. And without the filibuster rule, it will happen just like magic." (Trump was joking when he said he wanted to be President for Life, right?)
13. "But national defense is a very important two words." (so is Stormy Daniels)
14. "You have to be able to see through the other side in order to see what's coming." (See through wall)
15. "All records for defense." ("All your base are belong to us!)
18. "The tanker aircraft is very important based on everything." (Science!)
21. "So when you look at all of these pages, a lot of that is devoted -- a lot -- to the military." (Military spending is good)
22. "While we can be disappointed in some ways, we have to also know that there are a lot of strings pulling everybody in different directions." (No Puppet)
24. "We looked at it to veto. I looked very seriously at the veto. I was thinking about doing the veto." (Fail)
