At any Trump rally:  I’m really rich… I have a very good brain… I’m a very stable genius… I’m like really smart… I know words. I have the best words… I alone can fix it… There’s my beautiful black, blacks love Trump.

On Women:  You can grab ‘em by the pussy… She had blood coming out of her whatever… She actually indicated that she loved it, said it was sexy. (E. Jean Carroll deposition) … I will be dating her in ten years… Quiet Piggy!

On the campaign trail: He’s not a war hero. He was a war hero because he was captured.  I like people that weren’t captured.

COVID-19:  It will just disappear like a miracle… If we do half the testing, we’d have half the cases… And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in a minute, almost like a cleaning.

Protesters: Can’t we just shoot them in the leg or something?

Bizarre animal references:  They’re eating the dogs, the people that came in, they’re eating the cats, they’re eating the pets… These offshore windmills are driving the whales crazy… He died like a dog, a beautiful dog… So, I have a choice of electrocution or a shark. You know what I’m going to take? Electrocution every time.

Science: Magnets don’t work when they get wet. 

Cost of drugs:  We’ve lowered the cost of drugs 600%, 800%, 1200%, and in some cases 1500%.

Cost of Ballroom: It’s doubled because we doubled the size, stupid!

The Reflection Pool:  Made with powerful rubber that can’t even be cut with a knife.

Declaration of Independence:  Well, it means exactly what it says, it’s a declaration.  A declaration of unity, love, and respect, and it means a lot.  And, it’s something very special to this country.

Iran: It will take five to six weeks…. We’re winning…  We won the war in the first hour… We won (stated 32 times) … They’re begging to make a deal (stated 38 times). We’re flying wherever we want. Nobody’s even shooting at us.

Wars:  I’ll stop it in 24 hours… I’ve stopped 6 wars… I’ve stopped 7 wars… I’ve stopped 10 wars…  Ukraine should never have started this war.

On Tariffs:  We took in more $18 trillion in 10 months. We will be taking care of our people.  Childcare will be relatively inexpensive compared to what we will be taking in.

On Daycare: We can’t take care of daycare, we’re fighting wars.

Affordability:  It’s a hoax… I’m not worried about Americans’ financial situation. I don’t care about anybody.
