Ben Meiselas: 在民主党议员的质询下，特朗普的内阁成员经常回避问题或转移话题，实质上是对国会的蔑视。MAGA Mike Johnson 对此表示认可，因为他似乎认为众议院的存在仅仅是为了迎合特朗普的意愿，这与政府部门应有的制衡原则背道而驰。这种行为模式不仅体现在 Pete Hegsiff 等人身上，他们甚至对参议员和国会议员表现出公然的无礼。
Jake Auchincloss: 我认为特朗普政府官员在应对质询时表现出的不配合，根源在于特朗普用人唯亲，而非任人唯贤。许多被任命者对其职责领域缺乏基本了解，导致他们无法有效回答问题。更令人担忧的是，共和党议员未能认真履行其监督职责，反而表现得像特朗普的附庸。我认为民主党人应该向选民强调，通过选举民主党人进入国会，可以有效制约特朗普的冲动，确保政府运作的透明度和问责制。我们必须将特朗普的混乱和腐败与日常生活中更高的生活成本联系起来，揭露其政府的无能和对法律的漠视。即使在移民等问题上，民众的看法与特朗普有共同之处，他们也不赞同他处理问题的方式。
