Benefits Quote by Rush Limbaugh
“Donald Trump has assembled a group of people who know how to, quote, get it done, whatever it is. Now, the left is not gonna be happy with the things they want to get done. And they're gonna continue to oppose it even when they benefit from it, they are going to continue to oppose it, unless Trump comes in with massive tax increases when of course the Democrats will sign on for that.”
About This Quote
Source Radio Show: The Rush Limbaugh Show, 2017
Trump surrounds himself with loyal allies who get things done, while the opposition will resist regardless of benefits, unless drastic tax hikes force compliance.
In simple terms: Trump’s team gets things done; left opposes regardless of gain; tax hikes could force agreement.
