Their leaders are all gone—very sad, very fine people… we had to do it.

They are not coming through with the kind of deal that we have to have.

We are going to get this thing done properly; we are not going to leave early and then have the problem arise in three more years.

These people tried to hold up our country for years and years—the world—by closing up the Strait of Hormuz.

Melania hates when I dance to what is sometimes referred to as the “gay national anthem.”

The radical left says we are not winning the war in Iran. I believe that is treasonous.

They call it a military operation because that way, you don't have a war, you don't have legal problems.

When you look at the Hormuz Street—Strait. All of those ships want to get out.

They’re like little ants.

It's a very profitable business. Who would have thought we were doing that? We're like pirates. We're sort of like pirates.

We're not playing games...

I was thinking about seriously calling it the Gulf of Trump — I really was.

I was told by some very wise people "please don't do this."

She's a beautiful woman — you know, I never like to talk about beauty because it's usually the end of a political career.

I won't say she's a beautiful woman, but she's a fine woman. She's got this beautiful voice. She was a ballet dancer.

It was good for one thing. People love my ballroom now. That’s the only thing. They love my ballroom.

It's gonna be the best in the world, although I like the one at Mar-a-Lago very much too.

We will be taking it over almost immediately.

On the way back from Iran, we'll have one of our big — maybe the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier, the biggest in the world — we'll have that come in, stop about 100 yards offshore, and they'll say, "Thank you very much. We give up."

They said, "Sir, you'll be the first president in 68 years or something that doesn't have a dog."

I said, "It's not going to work for me."

They like pictures of Biden walking his dog, but his dog was a vicious dog—it kept biting our Secret Service people. We had 28 bite problems. This was a violent dog. That's not a dog I'd want.

But for 60 years, I guess, even longer, every president's had a dog because they do it for votes. Some of them do it because they love the dog; probably most of would do it for votes… I thought it would look quite fake, like the fake news.

Mar-a-Lago—The hottest club anywhere in the world.

It creates hundreds of jobs and brings thousands of travelers here each year.

I'm so busy with the Iranians calling trying to make a good deal and we're not going to let that happen.

They've got to make a bad deal. Maybe we're better off not making a deal at all.

I do a lot of things that are impossible to do, like becoming president 3 times.

One policeman told me my wife thought very little of me.

She felt I wasn’t a man under the Biden administration.

The civil war was brutal — I always said why couldn't that have been settled? Maybe it could have been.

It was supposed to last one day... Robert E. Lee was an amazing general.

He took something that was supposed to end in a day and made it last four years. If Gettysburg didn’t happen, he would’ve won.

Never fight uphill, me boys...
