“President Trump basically has interfered with an investigation where he may be implicated. That's outrageous. And that's why we're having so much of a conversation about it today. Everybody is talking about it because this is highly unusual.” TodayPresidentUnusual Author:Maxine Waters
“I think that if the president Trump would have fired Comey when he first came in, he would not have to be in a position now where he is trying to make up a story about why. It does not meet the smell test.” ThinkingTryingPresident Author:Maxine Waters
“The president of the United States who has a history of firing people who get close to, you know, him and his allies like Flynn, and like Miss Yates, he will fire them if he believes somehow they're getting too close to him in the investigations. I believe that the president of the United States should not have fired Comey in the middle of an investigation.” PeopleBelieveI BelievePresidentMissing Author:Maxine Waters
“I think that the Republicans who have been cautious, recognizing that they have to be concerned about their re-elections, etc., they won't be able to stand with Donald Trump when we unfold his connection to the Kremlin and what they were involved in, which I consider to be collusion. I don't think that any Republican, even moderates or conservatives, who love America and who consider themselves patriots, they cannot stand with this president when it appears he has participated in undermining this democracy. They're going to have to fall. That's what I believe.” ThinkingBelieveFallI BelievePresidentDemocracyRepublicanConcernedPatriotCautious Author:Maxine Waters
“I am so offended by Trump. I spend an awful lot of time helping to educate people about who I think he is and the danger that I think he is to this country.

“The most upsetting part of the new administration is discovering that the person who won the election and became the president of the United States of America is a man who has no good values.

“Take a look at the way that Trump has described some of the foreign countries that we deal with - some that are allies and some that are not. China is one example. He said they were currency manipulators, but after he sat down with President Xi and had a piece of chocolate cake, he then said they were no longer currency manipulators.” CountryPresidentSatChocolateCurrencyManipulator Author:Maxine Waters
“Let's take a look at NAFTA. Trump said that NAFTA was a bad deal and he was going to get rid of it in the first 100 days. Now, that's also off the table. He's made a lot of promises that he can't keep. He has distorted information. I do not think he should not be president of the United States. And I think our allies and people in other countries are looking at America and saying, "This can't be. How did this happen?"” PeopleThinkingCountryPresidentPromise Author:Maxine Waters
“I think that there's a great disrespect for women under this administration, led by the president Trump.
