LOU DOBBS (HOST): You mentioned the first person singular. This is a president who seldom uses the expression. I can remember State of the Union addresses by Obama in which you heard the first person singular throughout, a hundred plus times. President Trump is truly the president of “we." He uses that first-person plural throughout his campaign rallies, throughout his speech -- everyday speech, if a president can have everyday speech. 

DONALD TRUMP JR.: Well, you know, he's doing that because he's doing this for the right reasons. He got involved with this not because he needed the job, frankly far from it. He knew what would come with it. He knew the viciousness of the other side.
