- We must have only the highest standards for those who work in our aviation system. I changed the Obama standards from very mediocre at best to extraordinary. And then when I left office and Biden took over, he changed them back to lower than ever before.

Their policy was horrible, and their politics was even worse.
- Donald Trump as quoted by NBC News
