At 15:44 UTC on the same day, Donalds addressed political matters concerning government reviews: "The Democrats are not upset about government being reviewed. They are upset that their wasteful pet projects are being exposed to the American people. President Trump and Republicans in Congress are serious about getting rid of this nonsense."
