He's become a big star. He walks down the street, and the people are screaming, "Scott, Scott, can we have your autograph?"

I created a monster. He's a monster now. That's terrible, but he's doing a great job.

Look at New York. I mean, he's a nice guy. Calls me all the time, says hi. But his policies are no good.

He's chasing people out and causing a lot of harm to everybody.

McDonald's to the Oval Office. It was a little tacky.

You know, they come up with these crazy ideas like McDonald's... the [campaign] garbage truck.

I mean, we do these things in politics. They're a little embarrassing, but we do them, and you win by landslides.

A year ago, our country was an embarrassment, and all over the world, they laughed at us.

They're not laughing anymore.

The war in Iran is going along swimmingly. We can do whatever we want.

It should be ending pretty soon. It's perfect.

We had to do a little journey down to Iran.

I didn’t want to do that, but we had to because we can’t let them have a nuclear weapon.

What a bunch of lunatics they are.

Corner stores, what is a corner store? I've never heard that term.

I know what a corner store is, but I've never heard it described, a corner store. Who the hell wrote that?

Our economy is booming. You don't read or see it so much because of what's going on in Iran. It's been two months.

You've been in other wars for 18 years. Four years with me—I'm in there for a month, and they say, "Well, he said he'd get out."

Did you see where I did a list last week? Seventeen years in Vietnam and five years in Afghanistan and more, much more than that. And all these different places.

And I said, "We're in there for two months. And you know what? We're going to have victory very shortly."

Hezbollah is no different than Al-Qaeda and ISIS. Hezbollah is Shiite, and Al-Qaeda and ISIS are Sunni, but they have the same goal.

If anybody tells me that Hezbollah is different than the Ayatollah, Al-Qaeda, or ISIS, you don't understand Hezbollah.

I do not trust the Lebanese military to disarm Hezbollah.

The commander of the Lebanese military, Haykal, I don't trust as far as I can throw him.

He needs to be replaced before there's a credible plan to disarm Hezbollah.

Why end the blockade? Because it's working. The currency of Iran has collapsed. They're on the verge of actually financial ruin from the blockade.

I want to make sure Iran can't block the Strait of Hormuz going forward.

It would be insane to allow Al-Qaeda to enrich uranium, to allow ISIS to enrich uranium.

The state of Iran under the Ayatollah is no different. They have the same agenda.

Now, what happens if they say no? Keep the blockade in place, but be willing to go after the energy infrastructure on Kharg Island.

I'm not asking President Trump or anybody to invade the country.

We are inside the 5-yard line... we got Lebanon—Hezbollah pinned down. Don't throw them a lifeline.

If you get a peace deal in Lebanon and it doesn't have a pathway to disarm Hezbollah, it is a fake peace deal.

President Trump—our guy—is directly talking to the Iranians. He is negotiating himself.

He was on the phone with the Iranians a couple of days ago, and it got rather sporty to the point that President Trump loudly told Iran what would happen if they keep playing games.

He actually lost his voice. I'd hate to be the Iranian on the receiving end of that.

So President Trump is now directly involved in the negotiations.

Despite all our past circumstances, we were not a party in any conflict against Iran during the war taking place currently between the U.S., Israel, and Iran.

We were pushing in a direction not to spark this war from the start, because Iran is a state that has a population of about 85 million people, and any harm that hits Iran from the inside could affect the region in general.

We are pushing for the region to be stable and for its problems to be solved via dialogue and diplomacy, not to enter into conflicts and big disputes.

We hope this war stops and the region moves to a phase where such wars will not repeat.
