Trump: ‘We Have to Get the Country Open, and the Way We’re Going To Do It ... Is to Terminate the Filibuster’

EXCERPT:

TRUMP: “I think it's very important we have to get the country open and the way we're going to do it this afternoon is to terminate the filibuster. And it's possible you're not going to do that. And I'm not going to go by your wishes. You're very smart people. We're good friends. But I think it's a tremendous mistake really. It would be a tragic mistake actually. It's time. It's time. If I thought they weren't going to approve I'd sort of be with you, I'd be fine. I'd be neutral to with you. But knowing that they're going to pass it as soon as they get any semblance of control, they'll pass it first thing then it's like we have to do it first.”
