False. Even though the president is a public figure, we should cite his speech/quotes/sayings to avoid plagiarism.

FALSE

Every person should be summoned when we paraphrase something said by someone. This is for public figures, including the president. There is no one who does not need to be quoted. It is important to mention that the credits are referent to the author. This also avoids any legal setback.
