Trump on X, Oct 7, 2013: “’@mfbirk: @GeneMcVay @realDonaldTrump @SpeakerBoehner Stand firm and…”

"@GeneMcVay: @realDonaldTrump The Donald says the Republicans absolutely can win if they will STAND FIRM. @SpeakerBoehner

With the debt limit approaching, @GOP has even more leverage. If they stay united and on message they can win.

"@TheGINE3000: @realDonaldTrump We need someone with some business sense in the White House. This administration doesn't have a clue."

"@bobbymayojr: @realDonaldTrump Thank You Mr. Trump for speaking up just now ! Please don't stop !"

"@WRNSR: @realDonaldTrump Negotiations are non-existant, Obama needs to be sent a copy of "The Art of the Deal" (Maybe autographed)"

"@jacadere: @foxandfriends @realDonaldTrump Mr.Trump is right again. The Republicans need to stick together and let the Dems be blamed.
