Jon Favreau: 我在白宫的工作重心是将政策以最有效的方式传达给公众，而非制定政策本身。奥巴马政府与特朗普政府最大的不同在于，前者由尽职尽责的官员组成，他们致力于解决问题，而后者则以特朗普个人为中心，所有事情都围绕着取悦他展开。特朗普政府的混乱和常态化违规行为令人震惊，让我担忧国家的脆弱性。政府在没有正当程序的情况下驱逐公民到萨尔瓦多监狱的行为尤其令人担忧，这已经超出了移民政策的范畴。 许多支持特朗普的人对政府的腐败行为漠不关心，他们似乎认为只要自己也能从中受益，那么政府的腐败是可以接受的。然而，如果经济下滑，这种腐败行为可能会对特朗普造成政治损害。民主党目前面临着巨大的挑战，因为他们权力有限。 Sam Harris: (未在该部分提供核心论点，根据上下文补充) 就特朗普政府的腐败行为，特别是其明显的利益冲突和对民主制度的潜在破坏，表达了担忧。对那些对这些腐败行为漠不关心的人表示不解。
