One of my ex-wives once said to me, "You have to work at a marriage." And I said, "That's the most ridiculous thing", because my parents, they didn't work at the marriage.

And I'm saying to myself, "Man, I work all day long, well into the evening. I don't want to come home and work at a marriage. A marriage has to be very easy." My father would come home, have dinner, and take it easy. It was the most natural marriage I've ever seen.

[claiming that Hillary Clinton supported performing abortions during the ninth month of pregnancy] I think it's terrible if you go with what Hillary is saying, in the ninth month you can take the baby and rip the baby out of the womb of the mother just prior to the birth of the baby. Now you can say that's okay and Hillary can say that's okay, but it's not okay with me. Because based on what she's saying and based on where she's going and where she's been, you can take the baby and rip the baby out of the womb on the ninth month on the final day. And that's not acceptable. NOTE: Hillary Clinton has never said she supported abortions in the ninth month of pregnancy. When informed of this, Mr. Trump refused to retract this statement.

[6/16/2015, announcing his candidacy for US President] Our country is in serious trouble. We don't have victories anymore. We used to have victories, but we don't have them.

[on 9/11] I watched when the World Trade Center came tumbling down. And I watched in Jersey City, New Jersey, where thousands and thousands of people were cheering as that building was coming down.

The weak illegal immigration policies of the [ Barack Obama ] administration allowed bad MS 13 gangs to form in cities across US. We are removing them fast.

[catchphrase he almost always uses when ending a sentence in which he puts forth statistics, statements, or claims for which he offers no evidence] Believe me.



[April 24, 2017, on the Armenian genocide] Today, we remember and honor the memory of those who suffered during the Meds Yeghern, one of the worst mass atrocities of the 20th century.

I join the Armenian community in America and around the world in mourning the loss of innocent lives and the suffering endured by so many.

The Democrats don't want money from budget going to border wall despite the fact that it will stop drugs and very bad MS 13 gang members



[on the terrorist attack on the Manchester Arena] So many young, beautiful, innocent people living and enjoying their lives murdered by evil losers in life.

And we'll have more of them. But they're losers--just remember that.

Humanitarian reasons, plus I want Russia to greatly step up their fight against ISIS and terrorism.



[on German auto imports] If you want to build cars in the world, then I wish you all the best. You can build cars for the United States, but for every car that comes to the USA, you will pay 35% tax.

[on firing FBI Director James Comey , who was investigating Russian interference in the 2016 US Presidential election in order to help get Mr. Trump elected] He wasn't doing a good job. Very simply. He was not doing a good job.

[on why the US is withdrawing from the Paris climate agreement] We don't want other leaders and other countries laughing at us anymore, and they won't be.

He was a very tough person, but he had a big heart, and he was really angry that he saw what was happening with regard to the Civil War [NOTE: Andrew Jackson died 16 years before the Civil War broke out].

Why could that one not have been worked out?

[on signing a $5.58-billion business deal with Vietnam] They just made a very large order in the United States and we appreciate that for many billions of dollars, which means jobs for the United States and great, great equipment for Vietnam.



It is my opinion that many of the leaks coming out of the White House are fabricated lies. Whenever you see the words "sources say" in the fake news media, and they don't mention names, it is very possible that those sources don't exist but are made up by fake news writers.



[on the Portland, Oregon, train stabbing attack that occurred on May 26, 2017] The violent attacks in Portland on Friday are unacceptable. The victims were standing up to hate and intolerance. Our prayers are with them.

[The New York Times] don't write good. They have people over there, like Maggie Haberman and others, they don't--they don't write good. They don't know how to write good.

[a question he asked three times during a meeting with military and national-security leaders about foreign policy] Why can't we use nuclear weapons?

[Aug. 14, 2017, several days after a woman was killed by a neo-Nazi protester in Charlottesville, VA] Racism is evil, and those who cause violence in its name are criminals and thugs, including the KKK, neo-Nazis, white supremacists and other hate groups that are repugnant to everything we hold dear as Americans [ . . . ] As I said on Saturday, we condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry, and violence. It has no place in America.



[Aug. 2017, on the Charlottesville historic statue-removal issue] This week it's Robert E. Lee and I notice that Stonewall Jackson is coming down. I wonder, is it George Washington next week and is it Thomas Jefferson the week after? Ask yourself, where does it stop?



Just heard Foreign Minister of North Korea speak at U.N., If he echoes thoughts of Little Rocket Man, they won't be around much longer!



[at a political rally in Phoenix, AZ, August 2017] We are all on the same team. We are all Americans.



Why would Kim Jong-Un insult me by calling me "old", when I would never call him short and fat? Oh well, I try so hard to be his friend--and maybe someday that will happen!



[warning to North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un] Rocket Man is on a suicide mission for himself and his regime.



[reportedly, to Paul Manafort] You treat me like a baby. Am I like a baby to you? I sit here like a little baby and watch TV and you talk to me?



[What's your plan to bring jobs back to America?] Well, that's the biggest problem, and that takes place with so many. And uh, even though it's over 100 degrees in this room, don't feel bad, you know this room was not meant for this many people, you do know that right? I heard the other night, I was making a speech, and we had tremendous massive crowds and it was really hot, so I'm a little warm and there might have been a little bit of sweat, and one of these dishonest people said, "Donald Trump was sweating tonight".' I said, "Sweating? It was 100 degrees!" And guess what? We're all sweating tonight also, right, and that's okay, that's good that's healthy. Ah, the biggest problem you have is: people go to college, I mean that's great getting out magna, that's fantastic, that means REAL smart, but people go to college, they work, they borrow money, they're up to here, they're up to their neck in debt, and then they get out and they can't get a job! I mean, it's such a massive problem--they can't get a job! Because our really good jobs are gone, and they've gone to other countries, and so many other countries are making our product.

[on fellow Republican Party presidential candidate Carly Fiorina's reaction to his momentum] Look at that face! Would anyone vote for that? Can you imagine that, the face of our next president?! I mean, she's a woman, and I'm not s'posedta say bad things, but really, folks, come on. Are we serious?



[on fellow Republican presidential candidate John Kasich] Did you see him? He has a news conference, all the time when he's eating. I have never seen a human being eat in such a disgusting fashion. I'm always telling my young son Baron, always with my kids, all of them, I say, "Children, small, little bites". This guy takes a pancake and he's shoving it in his mouth. It's disgusting. Do you want that for your president? I don't think so.



[on questions over his mental health] Actually, throughout my life, my two greatest assets have been mental stability and being, like, really smart. Crooked Hillary Clinton also played these cards very hard and, as everyone knows, went down in flames. I went from very successful businessman to top TV star to President of the United States (on my first try). I think that would qualify as not smart, but genius . . .and a very stable genius at that! NOTE: Mr. Trump actually was elected on his third try, not his first.





[on the poisoning of former spy Sergei Skripal on British soil] As soon as we get the facts, if we agree with them, we will condemn Russia, or whoever it may be.

There's no bigger fan of the Second Amendment than me, and there's no bigger fan of the NRA. These guys are great patriots.



[responding to James Comey's book 'A Higher Loyalty', April 13, 2018] James Comey is a proven LEAKER &LIAR. Virtually everyone in Washington thought he should be fired for the terrible job he did - until he was, in fact, fired. He leaked CLASSIFIED information, for which he should be prosecuted. He lied to Congress under OATH..He is a weak and untruthful slime ball who was, as time has proven, a terrible Director of the FBI. His handling of of the Crooked Hillary Clinton case, and the events surrounding it, will go down in history as one of the worst 'botch jobs' of history. It was my great honor to fire James Cromey.



I do not watch much television. I know they like to say - people that don't know me - they like to say I watch television. People with fake sources - you know, fake reporters, fake sources. But I don't get to watch much television, primarily because of documents. I'm reading documents a lot.



I recently read a story that in London, which has unbelievably tough gun laws, a once very prestigious hospital, right in the middle, is like a war zone for horrible stabbing wounds. Yes, that's right, they don't have guns, they have knives, and instead there's blood all over the floors of this hospital. They say it's as bad as a military war zone hospital. Knives, knives, knives... London hasn't been used to that, they're getting used to it, pretty tough.





Meryl Streep , one of the most overrated actresses in Hollywood, doesn't know me but attacked last night at the Golden Globes. She is a Hillary flunky who lost big.

[on arming teachers with guns] If you had a teacher who was adept with the firearm, they could end the attack very quickly. They would be there and you would no longer have a gun-free zone. This would be a major deterrent because these people are inherently cowards. If the Florida gunman thought that other people would be shooting bullets back at him, he wouldn't have gone there.



[on Kim Jong-un, June 2018] He's the head of a country and I mean he's the strong head. He speaks and his people sit up in attention. I want my people to do the same.



If you don't have borders, you don't have a country. You don't have a country. [June 2018]



The UK has a situation that's been going on for a long time. So I have NATO, I have the UK, which is in somewhat turmoil, and I have Putin. Frankly, Putin may be the easiest of them all, who would think? Who would think? But the UK, certainly they have a lot of things going on.



The fundamental question of our time is whether the West has the will to survive. [July 2017]



[on protests attacking him from missing a deadline to reunite refugee families, July 2018] I have a solution. Tell people not to come to our country illegally.



[observation, August 2018] I don't know how you can impeach somebody who's done a great job. If I ever get impeached I think the market would crash. I think everybody would be very poor.



[on using Twitter] This is my megaphone. This is the way that I speak directly to the people without any filter. Cut through the noise. Cut through the fake news. That's the only way I have to communicate. I have tens of millions followers. This is bigger than cable news. I go out and give a speech and it's covered by CNN and nobody's watching, nobody cares. I tweet something and it's my megaphone to the world.



In less than two years, my administration has accomplished more than almost any administration in the history of our country.



The truth is that the centrist Democratic party is dead. The new Democrats are radical socialists who want to model America's economy after Venezuela.



[at a French ceremony commemorating the end of World War I] Is there anything better than to celebrate the end of a war, in particular that one , which was one of the bloodiest and worst of all time?





[responding to criticism from Rep. Adam Schiff ] So funny to see little Adam Schitt (D-CA) talking about the fact that Acting Attorney General Matt Whitaker was not approved by the Senate, but not mentioning the fact that Bob Mueller (who is highly conflicted) was not approved by the Senate!

[on Kim Jong Un, October, 2018] He wrote me beautiful letters. And they're great letters. We fell in love.



[Christmas Day tweet: 2018] I can't tell you when the government's going to be open. I can tell you it's not going to be open until we have a wall or fence, whatever they'd like to call it.



Nobody reads the Bible more than me.



I have a gut, and my gut tells me more sometimes than anybody else's brain can ever tell me.



We believe in the American dream, not the socialist nightmare.



[March 12, 2019, on disturbing revelations regarding the introduction of increasingly complicated aeroplane protocols] I don't know about you, but I don't want Albert Einstein to be my pilot. I want great flying professionals that are allowed to, easily and quickly, take control of a plane.



[on release of the Mueller report which found "insufficient evidence" of American collusion with Russia, March 24, 2019] This was an illegal takedown that failed.





I always liked Ronald Reagan , I liked him for everything other than maybe trade, it just didn't seem to be enough of a focus and that was when we started doing foolish trade deals, in that generation, it really sort of began there.



[on Sadiq Khan ] He is a stone cold loser who should focus on crime in London, not me.



[2002, on Jeffrey Epstein ] I've known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy. He's a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.

It's very easy actually to work with me. You know why it's easy? Because I make all the decisions.



[on Joe Biden] He was only a good vice-president because he understood how to kiss Barack Obama's ass.



Down the hall, and to the left. [Trump's dialogue in his 'Home Alone 2' four-second cameo role, which the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) deleted before showing the movie on television.]



[kissing an American flag at a 2020 campaign rally] I love you baby.



[2020, on the coronavirus crisis] It's going to disappear. One day it's like a miracle, it will disappear.



[on the coronavirus] We have it totally under control. It's one person coming in from China. We have it under control. It's going to be just fine.



I always treated the Chinese Virus very seriously, and have done a very good job from the beginning.



[sitting for an interview at the Lincoln Memorial, May 3, 2020] They always said, "Lincoln, nobody got treated worse than Lincoln. I believe I am treated worse.



[on his Coronavirus test]I tested positively toward negative



[8/23/19, after a self-described Trump supporter murdered 22 people he believed to be illegal aliens in El Pasxo, TX] I think my rhetoric brings people together.



Joe Biden is gonna be your president because some people don't love me, maybe.



[ 8/4/2020 on the average number of daily deaths from COVID-19 climbed back up past 1,000]They are dying, that's true. And it is what it is



[answering a request to describe his plans for a second presidential term] I think it would be very, very, I think we'd have a very, very solid, we would continue what we're doing, we'd solidify what we have done, and we have other things on our plate that we want to get done.
