He comes down, he puts on his outdoor clothes, he tries to look tough. He goes back to Washington and does nothing to help. In fact, he does worse than nothing. When the toughest border security bill in a generation came up in the United States Senate, $20 billion for border security. He said, we don't need a border bill. That's what he said. And, you know, listen, this is not. This is a pattern for Him. He's never there for us when we need him. (11:02–11:12)
