in their quest of being able to address the issue of the spillage, and why it's now been over a week since that issue of the spillage has now been solved.

And now the problem is solved.

Now the president wants to reach out and not just say that it's been our fault, which we had nothing to do with this, but also not acknowledging the fact that this was his responsibility.

This was the federal government whose job it was to do this.

And since they didn't do it, I did.

And so if the president wants me to ask politely, here's my ask, Mr. President, yes, I had to do your job for the past month, but please, will you please start doing your job?

Well, this is not about being combative with President Trump.

I have no desire of being combative with the President of the United States, but I also have no desire of watching my people be attacked.

I'm just built different, right?

I mean, I'm a soldier by nature.

I fight for my people.

I defend my people.

And when I'm watching someone attack my people, I have no problem returning fire.

And I don't care if it happens to be the president of the United States.

I have no desire to get into a back and forth with the president.

I just want to make sure that the president understands that fighting for Americans means fighting for Marylanders too.

Well, because I can't speak to the president's heart.

I can't speak to what he feels or what he says behind closed doors when I or others are not around.

But I can speak to his actions, and I can speak to how his actions hit.
