"I will tell you the loss of earmarks has meant the loss of investment in the legislative process,” former senator Tom Daschle

I think what he is saying is that our government runs on bribery.
I think what Trump is saying is that this is no longer true. It should run on patriotism. And it will.

Except he floated the idea of bringing earmarks back.
