Asked about what it says about the power he’s amassed to get his megabill over the finish line, Trump said he believes he has more power now than ever before.
“I think I have more power now,” Trump said as he headed for an event in Iowa Thursday afternoon. “I do, you know, I could say, ‘Oh, gee, I don’t know.’ I think I probably do, because we’ve had a great record of success.”
“You know, my first term was very, very successful. We had the greatest economy in the history of our country. I think we’re going to blow it away this term,” Trump claimed.
“But, you know, we’ve, we’ve proven certain things. And, yeah, I think probably it’s got more gravitas, more power,” he added.
