Because Quote by Clint Eastwood

“I don't like to see a president who is just out campaigning all year long or for the last four years. I'd like to see somebody who's going in the office. In fact, I'd like to not see them because that way you'd be sure that they'd be working.” quote by Clint Eastwood
