actually the opposite, extremely pragmatic, a very canny political survivor. You don't survive as long as he has in Trump's inner circle without being like that because the person you're working for, Donald Trump, does not really have firm principles or firm ideology. He's completely transactional. He's got a few gut impulses. And if you think that you can...

His gut remains the same, but he's learned a lot. He's learned a lot about how to get what he wants. And knowing that you're not going to get everything you want, and knowing that you might have to set aside a fight for the moment because the person that is most important to you, Donald Trump, may not agree, and you know that you're a staffer and you work for him...

Well, thank you very, very much.

As we gather today, our government confronts a crisis of trust. This time around, eight years later, you hear the echoes of that speech again in this speech. For many years, a radical and corrupt establishment has extracted power and wealth from our citizens while the pillars of our society lay broken and seemingly in complete disrepair.
