Peace is our goal. We cherish freedom and law.

We are ready to fight to defend these principles, always and forever, and to pay tribute in blood if necessary.

It is today's wars that we have to win. We need to hold the line on the Ukrainian front. We need to stand by our partners in the Middle East.

Most of their equipment is gone. We hit them very hard last night.

Every time they send a drone, we hit them very hard.

We are going to keep the strait. We will probably run it.

We will become the guardian of the strait, and when we do that, we will be reimbursed for it.

We guarded the strait for 50 years, and we never got paid for it. We guarded it for nothing, but now we will make money.

5.2% of presidents are killed, and 8.5% are shot.

Being the president is dangerous.

They are a bad group of people, let me tell you that. I don't say that often.

Right now, they are getting their ass kicked.

God was with me.
