What's that? it's only been a year???

Over the past year, President Donald Trump has talked and talked and talked. He has talked at photo ops at the White House. He has talked at impromptu press conferences while abroad. He has talked at campaign event after campaign event.

And I have watched or read it all -- poring over the transcripts to find the most, um, notable quotes. Below, we've gathered the best of the best -- or worst of the worst, depending on your point of view -- lines of 2019.

Enjoy!

1. "I could be the most popular person in Europe. I could be -- I could run for any office if I wanted to, but I don't want to." January 2 ( January 2 ( Cabinet Meeting

The President celebrated the new year with a 90+ minute Cabinet meeting -- and cameras were rolling the entire time. He answered question after question as his Cabinet sat silently.

2. "President Obama fired him and, essentially, so did I. I want results." January 2 ( January 2 ( Cabinet Meeting

Trump is talking about former Defense Secretary James Mattis, who resigned in protest in the wake of Trump's decision to pull US troops out Syria. Trump didn't "essentially" fire him. At all.

3. "We're talking about sand and death. That's what we're talking about." January 2 ( January 2 ( Cabinet Meeting

The President of the United States offers his thoughts on Syria.

4. "I had a meeting at the Pentagon with lots of generals -- they were like from a movie, better looking than Tom Cruise and stronger -- and I had more generals than I've ever seen." January 2 ( January 2 ( Cabinet Meeting

This is so revealing. All of life is a casting call for Trump. These generals were good because they were good looking and strong. Even more than Tom Cruise!

5. "I said, this is the greatest room I've ever seen. I -- I saw more computer boards than, I think, that they make today." January 2 ( January 2 ( Cabinet Meeting

"Computer boards."

6. "I'm a professional at technology." January 10 ( January 10 ( South Lawn

"Computer boards."

7. "When during the campaign I would say, 'Mexico's going to pay for it,' obviously I never said this and I never meant they're going to write out a check." January 10 (South Lawn) January 10

This is a clear-as-day attempt to rewrite history by Trump during an impromptu news conference on his way to the southern border. He repeatedly said that Mexico would need to make a distinct $5 billion or $10 billion payment to the United States for the wall. And when he asked crowds at his rallies in 2016 who was going to pay for the wall, they shouted back "Mexico!" not "Mexico by way of theoretical gains we will make as a result of a restructured international trade deal!" I mean, come on.

8. "The buck stops with everybody." January 10 (South Lawn) January 10

Is that how that goes? The buck stops with everybody? (Remember: Trump hardly ever takes the blame for anything -- especially the things that are his fault.)

9. "Well, I haven't actually left the White House in months." January 15 ( January 15 ( Jeanine Pirro interview

10. "I would, I don't with care. I mean, I had a conversation like every president does. You sit with the president of various countries. I do it with all countries." January 15 ( January 15 ( Pirro interview

Pirro asks Trump here whether he would be willing to "release the conversation that you had with President (Vladimir) Putin in Helsinki." Here's the thing: He can't do that because, per The Washington Post , "there is no detailed record, even in classified files, of Trump's face-to-face interactions with the Russian leader at five locations over the past two years."

11. "I was obviously a good candidate. I won every debate. I won everything I did, and I won, and I won easily."

When Trump said this, the 2016 election had ended 797 days ago.

12. "I guess they're well over 30 million dollars now on this Russian collusion hoax, and everybody knows it's a hoax. They've spent all this money. Nothing. No phone calls, no meetings, no nothing." January 31 ( January 31 ( Daily Caller interview

Trump was not that far off-base on the price tag -- $25 million had been spent at this point on special counsel Robert Mueller's probe since it began in May 2017 . Where he REALLY missed the fact boat was in claiming that the Mueller probe had produced zero tangible results. To date when Trump said this, the investigation had produced 199 criminal counts against 37 people and entities. Seven people had pleaded guilty and four had been sentenced to prison. One -- Paul Manafort -- had been convicted by a jury of his peers. That's not nothing.

13. "I ran a great campaign. I ran a campaign that now they say was better than that gentleman's [Andrew Jackson's] campaign in the 1800s and we did a great job." January 30 ( January 30 ( Daily Caller interview

They say that, do they? (For more on Andrew Jackson's campaigns, read this !)

14. "I hope that she's healthy, I hope she's happy, and I hope she lives for a long time." January 30 ( January 30 ( Daily Caller interview

Trump's response here to a question on Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg following her illness was -- dare I say it -- presidential.

15. "The world is not doing well and we're going great." January 30 ( January 30 ( Daily Caller interview

Trump on the global situation: America :) Rest of world :(

16. "It looks like Elizabeth Warren has not caught on like they thought she would. She fell into a trap. It's called the Pocahontas trap." January 30 ( January 30 ( Daily Caller interview

"The Pocahontas Trap?" Is that a Disney flick?

17. "My intelligence people, if they said in fact that Iran is a wonderful kindergarten, I disagree with them a hundred percent." February 3 ( February 3 ( Super Bowl interview

In this quote from Trump's interview on CBS News before this year's Super Bowl, Trump questioned his intelligence community's assessment of Iran. Worth nothing: His "intelligence people" didn't say Iran was a kindergarten, they simply said they believed the country to be in compliance with the nuclear deal Trump pulled out of in May 2018.

18. "And a lot of people, including me, thought soccer would probably never make it in this country, but it really is moving forward rapidly." February 3 ( February 3 ( Super Bowl interview

Paging @MeninBlazers !!!! This was part of Trump's answer to whether he would allow his son, Barron, to play football.

19. "Roger is somebody that I've always liked, but a lot of people like Roger. Some people probably don't like Roger, but Roger Stone's somebody I've always liked." February 3 ( February 3 ( Super Bowl interview

20. "Even the Mueller report said it had nothing to do with the campaign." February 3 ( February 3 ( Super Bowl interview

The Mueller report hadn't come out yet.

21. "What a location. I'm in the real estate business, what a location." February 3 ( February 3 ( Super Bowl interview

Donald Trump on North Korea. Yup!

22. "I love this state, and I love the people of this state. We've had a great romance together. You know that. Been a great romance." February 11 ( February 11 ( El Paso rally

Donald Trump and Texas sitting in a tree, k-i-s-s-i-n-g. First comes love then comes ... ah, you know the rest.

23. "This is like the Academy Awards used to be. Used to be. They've gone down a long ways since they started hitting us a little bit, right?" February 11 ( February 11 ( El Paso

There's so much here. First, Trump was comparing his rally to the Academy Awards because of the amount of press that was covering it. (But I thought he hated the media?) Then he's saying that the Oscars, like everything else, aren't as good as they used to be. And finally, he is attributing the decline of the Oscars to the fact that some of the actors have taken shots at him. He truly contains multitudes.

24. "So, someday, with all of us -- this is all of us -- and those hats are beautiful, by the way. Someday." February 11 ( February 11 ( El Paso

This an unedited "sentence" from the President of the United States. Someday.

25. "Where do these people come from? Where do they come from? They go back home to Mommy. They get punished when they get home." February 11 ( February 11 ( El Paso

When a protester interrupts a speech, that's when Trump's real bullying tendencies emerge.

26. "Is there any place that's more fun to be than a Trump rally? Is there any place?" February 11 ( February 11 ( El Paso

Remember: Trump views himself as an entertainer first and everything else second. So his measure of success is whether people are having fun.

27. "But I really don't like their policy of taking away your car, of taking away your airplane flights, of, 'Let's hop a train to California,' of ... 'You're not allowed to own cows anymore.'" February 11 ( February 11 ( El Paso

The "Green New Deal" to which Trump is referring had been introduced into Congress the week before by, among others, New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. You can bet Trump is going to keep making it a major talking point in his effort to paint Democrats as totally out of touch with the average person in 2020.

28. "The fact is that the real collusion was between Hillary and the Democrats and the other side with Russia. That's where the collusion is." February 11 ( February 11 ( El Paso

Trump says this a lot. It's based on a theory that the entire Mueller probe began because of an anti-Trump dossier produced by former British spy Christopher Steele and funded by the Democratic National Committee and the Clinton campaign. But we know for a fact that's not why the probe started; it started because George Papadopoulos told an Australian diplomat in Britain that he knew the Russians had dirt on Clinton. Read more about all of it here

29. "Some of the most dishonest people in media are the so-called 'fact-checkers.'" February 11 ( February 11 ( El Paso

Oh, that is rich. Important note: Donald Trump made over 8,000 false or misleading claims in his first two years in office, according to The Washington Post's Fact Checker. By October 2019, that number had risen to 13,435.

30. "Pretty soon we're going to be saying keep America great. Keep America great." February 11 ( February 11 ( El Paso

Trump has already said, repeatedly, that "Keep America Great" is his preferred 2020 slogan. Also, he's been running for a second term since the day he won in 2016.

31. "How about the word 'caravan?' Caravan? I think that was one of mine." February 11 ( February 11 ( El Paso

In which Donald Trump claims to have invented the word "caravan."

32. "By the way, there is nothing better than a good old-fashioned German shepherd." February 11 ( February 11 ( El Paso

Yup. He said this.

33. "I wouldn't mind having one, honestly, but I don't have any time. I don't have -- how would I look walking a dog on the White House lawn?" February 11 ( February 11 ( El Paso

Words fail.

34. "Yeah, Obama had a dog. You're right. Both parties should come together to finally create a safe and lawful system of immigration." February 11 ( February 11 ( El Paso

This is not edited. He really said these sentences back-to-back.

35. "We're going to do it one way or the other. We have to do it -- not because it was a campaign promise, which it is." February 15 ( February 15 ( Emergency wall declaration

So, the President was declaring a national emergency on the southern US border because "we have to do it," not because he said we had to do it on the campaign trail. But ask yourself this: If it was such an emergency, why did Trump wait more than two years into his term to declare it one?

36. "They say walls don't work. Walls work 100%." February 15 ( February 15 ( Emergency wall declaration

No one has ever penetrated a wall. Can't happen. It's 1,000 feet high and made of sheer ice! Wait ...

37. "I was a little new to the job, a little new to the profession, and we had a little disappointment for the first year and a half. People that should have stepped up did not step up. They didn't step up, and they should have." February 15 ( February 15 ( Emergency wall declaration

Important thing to always remember about Trump: Nothing is ever his fault. He is always the undeserving victim of other peoples' malice, incompetence or both.

38. "Go ahead, ABC -- not NBC. I like ABC a little bit more, not much. Come on, ABC -- not much, pretty close." February 15 ( February 15 ( Emergency wall declaration

(Trump while taking questions). ABC > NBC. But, IT'S CLOSE!

39. "But, you know, I never did politics before. Now I do politics." February 15 ( February 15 ( Emergency wall declaration

"Now I do politics." -- The President of the United States

40. "I believe he would have gone to war with North Korea. I think he was ready to go to war. In fact, he told me he was so close to starting a big war with North Korea." February 15 ( February 15 ( Emergency wall declaration

Wait, so former President Barack Obama told Trump he was planning a "big" war against North Korea? Interesting! I am sure that conversation happened exactly as Trump said it did!

41. [Trump comes out on stage, claps, and then bear-hugs an American flag] March 2 ( March 2 ( CPAC

Not a line, but this happened during Trump's two-hour-long speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference.

42. "But I found some very old laws from when our country was rich -- really rich. The old tariff laws -- we had to dust them off; you could hardly see, they were so dusty." March 2 ( March 2 ( CPAC

Ah, those rich -- and dusty -- days. Man, they were great. Tough on the allergies. But great.

43. "You know I'm totally off-script right now. And this is how I got elected, by being off-script. True." March 2 ( March 2 ( CPAC

It IS true. Voters seemed to believe that Trump's often rambling, hard-to-understand speeches.

44. "When the wind stops blowing, that's the end of your electric. Let's hurry up. 'Darling' -- 'Darling, is the wind blowing today? I'd like to watch television, darling.'" March 2 ( March 2 ( CPAC

"When the wind stop blowing, that's the end of your electric." -- The President of the United States. (Also, Trump is mocking the "Green New Deal" here.)

45. "I won't use a certain words because it's not politically -- but everybody knows the word I'd love to use. Should I use it? I won't do it." March 2 ( March 2 ( CPAC

Trump has even turned his infamous love for cursing into some sort of anti-elites mantra. Amazing.

46. "If you tell a joke, if you're sarcastic, if you're having fun with the audience, if you're on live television with millions of people and 25,000 people in an arena, and if you say something like, 'Russia, please, if you can, get us Hillary Clinton's emails. Please, Russia, please.'" March 2 ( March 2 ( CPAC

HA HA HA ... oh wait, on the same day Trump "jokingly" asked the Russians to get Hillary Clinton's deleted emails, the Russians began a cybercampaign to get Hillary Clinton's deleted emails

47. "And unfortunately, you put the wrong people in a couple of positions, and they leave people for a long time that shouldn't be there. And, all of a sudden, they're trying to take you out with bullshit. OK? With bullshit." March 2 ( March 2 ( CPAC

I assume Trump is referring to then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions recusing himself from the Russia probe. Or maybe former FBI Director James Comey for launching the probe. Or deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein for forming a special counsel to look into it. Maybe all of the above. Either way: It's total bullshit!

48. "I have one of the great inventions in history. It's called TiVo. I think it's actually better than television, because television is practically useless without TiVo, right?" March 2 ( March 2 ( CPAC

Agreed. How else does anyone watch "Succession?" (Also, Trump may have gotten a *little* off-topic during his CPAC speech.)

49. "Number one, I'm in love, and you're in love. We're all in love together." March 2 ( March 2 ( CPAC

Trump is talking about why he is speaking for so long and so far off-script. It's because of love, obviously.

50. "I have pretty good vision. At least for my age, I have good vision. I guess for my age, I have great vision." March 2 ( March 2 ( CPAC

From good to great in two sentences: The life of Donald Trump.

51. "And I said, 'Bring the cameras. I'm going to make a movie. This is the most incredible thing.'" March 2 ( March 2 ( CPAC

Trump was in Iraq to meet with generals. His first thought? Bring in the cameras. Let's make a movie.

52. "I did 32 big, fat rallies. And those rallies brought us to a tremendous Senate victory so that we can continue onward with our judges and our approvals." March 2 ( March 2 ( CPAC

So, Trump is saying he deserves credit for the 2018 midterm election! The same 2018 election in which Republicans suffered a near-total loss: Democrats made a net gain of 39 seats in the House, picked up 7 governor's mansions and hundreds of seats in state legislatures across the country.

Republicans DID win the Senate, and those 32 "big, fat rallies" probably helped -- but with 26 Democratic seats up for reelection and only nine for Republicans, the 2018 Senate map was one that Republicans should have capitalized on -- not just survived.

53. "By the way, I'm watching those doors. Not one person has left, and I've been up here a long time. ... But not one person. So if you hear tomorrow, when they read 'people left' -- nobody left early. There hasn't been one person that's left." March 2 ( March 2 ( CPAC

He is totally and completely obsessed with crowds. And crowds staying. And loving him. This feels like a good place to end the CPAC portion of our tour.

54. "When you mentioned Rush or Mark -- Mark Levin, or Steve Doocy, and Ainsley in the morning, and Brian and Laura, Jesse, Jeanine -- I hope Jeanine's back soon." March 27 (Sean Hannity call) March 27

An unintentionally revealing moment in which Trump lists a slew of (mainly) Fox News hosts and refers to them by their first names. Which proves just how much TV -- and Fox in particular -- he watches. Also, Jeanine Pirro, who Trump hopes is "back soon" had been suspended for questioning the patriotism of Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar (D), who is Muslim.

55. "Nobody has been tougher, nobody, on Russia than me. And everybody -- my enemies say that, when they are reasonable enemies, when they are fair." March 27 (Sean Hannity call) March 27

Not true ! (Also, Trump non-sequitur-ed to this "Russia line" DIRECTLY after praising a bunch of Fox News people. The mind works in mysterious ways!

56. "Look at the fact that we would have been powered by wind, which wouldn't have worked, by the way, because it only blows sometimes, and lots of problems come about." March 27 (Sean Hannity call) March 27

So, if Trump wasn't president, we would be running on wind power right now? Also, he's right -- the wind does "only blow sometimes."

57. "Hillary wouldn't let you drill, there would be no oil, there would be no gas, there wouldn't be anything to compete." March 27 (Sean Hannity call) March 27

So, if Hillary Clinton was president right now, we'd have no oil or gas. Just wind. And you know the wind "only blows sometimes."

58. Can you imagine? Sleepy Joe? Crazy Bernie." April 27 (Green Bay rally) April 27

Why did Trump suddenly out of nowhere start talking about his potential 2020 opponents? Oh, I have no idea. But the crowd LOVED it.

59. "I think Pocahontas, she's finished, she's out. She's gone. No, when it was found that I had more Indian blood in me than she did." April 27 (Green Bay rally) April 27

Trump is referring to Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren with this taunt. And, yes, the crowd LOVED it.

60. "But can you imagine any of these people up here doing what I'm doing? They'd be 200 people show up if they were president. If they were president, nobody would show up." April 27 (Green Bay rally) April 27

It's fascinating that Trump understands the job of being president as getting lots of people to show up to rallies.

61. "The USMCA, like the song 'YMCA,' right?" April 27 (Green Bay rally) April 27

Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United States! Whether on "The Apprentice" or pushing his NAFTA replacement, you have to admit Trump has a flair for salesmanship.

62. "Can you believe I'm a politician? I can't even." April 27 (Green Bay rally) April 27

Honestly, same.

63. "In Michigan, they gave me an award six years, seven years ago, I had no idea. It was the Man of the Year in Michigan." April 27 (Green Bay rally) April 27

There's no evidence Trump was ever named "Man of the Year" in Michigan.

64. "I have to tell you, that runway is like an ice-skating rink. And the first step I said, you know this sucker is slippery. I think it was put in by the Democrats. I don't know, whoever the hell got that thing." May 8 ( May 8 ( Panama City rally

He's talking about the ramp up to the stage . Must have been put in by the Democrats.

65. "You got hit with a little hurricane called Michael. That was not a nice hurricane, I can tell you that, but it's going well and I'm thrilled to be here with really truly incredible men and women of the Florida panhandle." May 8 ( May 8 ( Panama City rally

You got hammered with a hurricane. But that's over now. And I am here now. Like, that's literally what he is saying here.

66. "And I think that the people of Puerto Rico are very grateful to Donald Trump for what we've done for them." May 8 ( May 8 ( Panama City rally

"That's Puerto Rico and they don't like me." -- Donald Trump, literally 10 seconds before he said this.

67. "They call themselves 'the elite.' Did you ever see the elite? This is the elite. They're not elite. You're elite." May 8 ( May 8 ( Panama City rally

This is a classic Trump pitch -- and it's at the core of his appeal: Trump and other "regular" people are in a cultural war against "elites" in government, media and everywhere else.

What's that? You're right! It is strange that a billionaire who never lived outside of New York City before he moved to the White House has successfully become the voice of the common man.

68. "I say, 'You have better houses. So do I. You have better boats. You have better every -- you have better everything. You're smarter.' You know? I say, 'No, we're the elite.' So let's let them be the elite, but we're the super-elite." May 8 ( May 8 ( Panama City rally

The super elite: The elite, but with bigger houses. And boats.

69. "We have a young man, Buttigieg -- Boot-edge-edge. They say, 'Edge-edge.' He's got a great chance, doesn't he? He'll be great. He'll be great. Representing us against President Xi of China. That'll be great. That'll be great. I want to be in that room. I want to watch that one." May 8 ( May 8 ( Panama City rally

Remember that Trump's natural state is as a bully. it's where he's best and most comfortable.

70. "The report comes back. It's perfect. It's beautiful. There's no collusion. Nobody even talks about collusion." May 8 ( May 8 ( Panama City rally

The Mueller Report, which was released on April 18, did not establish collusion or coordination between Trump's campaign and the Russians. But it also made clear that there were a number of instances in which Trump looked to have engaged in obstructive behavior. So...

71. "They want to knock down all buildings in Manhattan and rebuild them without windows." May 20 ( May 20 ( Pennsylvania rally

Um no, "they" don't . What New York City has proposed is retrofitting buildings of 25,000 square feet or more to make them more energy efficient.

72. "Our country is full. We don't want people coming up here. Our country is full. We want Mexico to stop. We want all of them to stop. Our country is packed to the gills. We don't want them coming up." May 20 ( May 20 ( Pennsylvania rally

This probably goes without saying but: Our country is not "full" (and it's not even clear what that would look like). Also: There's a very big difference between saying that we don't want any more immigrants to this country and saying we can't fit any more immigrants in this country.

73. What's going on with Fox by the way? What's going on there? They're putting more Democrats on than you have Republicans. There's strange is going on at Fox. Something every strange." May 20 ( May 20 ( Pennsylvania rally

By "strange" Trump means "Fox isn't kowtowing to me and my policies at all times." (For more on the Trump-Fox News tension, watch this .)

74. "They were spying on our campaign. I'll tell you what, if that ever happened to the other side this thing would have been over two years ago and you know it would have been treason. They would have called it treason and that's what it is." May 20 ( May 20 ( Pennsylvania rally

Trump is referring to the surveillance of a former aide -- Carter Page -- as part of the FBI's counterintelligence probe into possible Russian interference in the 2016 election. And this "spying" was totally lawful -- approved by a FISA court and re-approved three times. Just saying.

75. "I had such an easy life. People say, I had such an easy life. Who the hell knew it was going to be this difficult, but I love it." May 20 ( May 20 ( Pennsylvania rally

Wait, being president is hard? I had never thought of that!

76. "And don't forget Biden deserted you. He's not from Pennsylvania. I guess he was born here, but he left you folks. He left you for another state." May 20 ( May 20 ( Pennsylvania rally

Biden left his home state of Pennsylvania when he was 10 years old ! Not really sure that counts as having "deserted" the people of Pennsylvania, though.

77. "And I said: 'Well, I didn't know she was nasty.' I wasn't referring to she's nasty. I said she was nasty about me." June 4 ( June 4 ( Piers Morgan interview

This is Trump trying to clear up a comment he made about the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle. Informed of Markle's past comments about him by The Sun, Trump said this: "I didn't know that. What can I say? I didn't know that she was nasty." What Trump is trying to say is that he meant what Markle said about him was "nasty" but that she herself wasn't (or isn't) "nasty." Got it? That's one of us.

78. "In London you have stabbings all over. I read an article where everybody's being stabbed. They said your hospital is a sea of blood all over the floors." June 4 ( June 4 ( Piers Morgan interview

Totally responsible rhetoric here from the President of the United States! Very normal! (Side note: I couldn't find the article Trump read that said "everybody's being stabbed.")

79. "Here's the thing. I'm not even sure -- first of all, I didn't know anything about it, but I'm not even sure it happened." June 4 ( June 4 ( Piers Morgan interview

Trump is talking here about the request made by someone in the White House military office to have the USS John S. McCain moved out of the President's sight during his recent visit to Japan. He's "not even sure it happened" which is weird because the Navy released a statement over the weekend saying this : "A request was made to the US Navy to minimize the visibility of USS John S. McCain, however, all ships remained in their normal configuration during the President's visit."

80. "I think I can say I really got to know her because I sat with her many times. And we had automatic chemistry. You understand that feeling." June 6 ( June 6 ( Ingraham interview in Normandy

Trump kicked off the interview by touting his "automatic chemistry" with Queen Elizabeth II . Which, maybe?!

81. "This is one of the true, in terms of war, in terms of, probably you can also say, in terms of peace, because this led to something very special." June 6 ( June 6 ( Ingraham interview in Normandy

A real, unedited sentence from the President of the United States.

82. "I think [Pelosi is] a disgrace. I actually don't think she's a talented person. I've tried to be nice to her because I would have liked to have gotten some deals done. She's incapable of doing deals. She's a nasty, vindictive, horrible person." June 6 ( June 6 ( Ingraham interview in Normandy

... said the President of the United States about the speaker of the US House while in a foreign country -- and with thousands of grave markers in the background of his TV shot.

83. "We have Pelosi, we have Crying Chuck Schumer, who's a disaster, by the way. He's a total political, you know, jerk." June 6 ( June 6 ( Ingraham interview in Normandy

"If I made any statement about anybody it would be like a big headline, why would he do that when he's overseas?" -- Donald Trump, literally two minutes before saying this.

84. "There are those that say they have never seen the Queen have a better time, a more animated time." June 6 ( June 6 ( Ingraham interview in Normandy

In which Trump suggests that the Queen of England has never had a better time -- ever -- than she did hanging out with him over the past few days.

85. "Now, people haven't used tariffs, but tariffs are a beautiful thing when you're the piggy bank, when you have all the money." June 10 ( June 10 ( CNBC phone call

In sum: Tariffs are beautiful. But only when you are a piggy bank. And have "all the money."

86. "We are not fools anymore. We are not the foolish country that does so badly." June 10 ( June 10 ( CNBC phone call

Trump 2020 slogan: Won't get fooled again!

87. This country is allowing this French wine which is great, we have great wine, too, allowing it to come in for nothing. It is not fair. And you know what, it's not fair. We'll do something about it." June 10 ( June 10 ( CNBC phone call

French wine is great.

88. "We are -- if you look at China, China, as great as they are and they are great, they are near the capability of our geniuses in Silicon Valley that walk around in undershirts and they were not $2 billion a piece." June 10 ( June 10 ( CNBC phone call

Wait, people walk around in $2 billion undershirts? Or they don't? Either way -- our geniuses are better than China's geniuses, I guess?

89. "I mean, look, Joe never got more than 1%, except Obama took him off the trash heap, and now it looks like he's failing." June 11 (South Lawn) June 11

Be best.

90. "I have to tell you, he's a different guy. He looks different than he used to. He acts different than he used to. He's even slower than he used to be." June 11 (South Lawn) June 11

That dog whistle you hear is the President of the United States trying to put questions about Biden's age's (he was 76) and health into peoples' minds during an impromptu press conference.

91. "The crime was by the Democrats, folks. They've committed, in my opinion, many crimes." June 11 (South Lawn) June 11

In any normal presidency, this would be a news story for a week. The President of the United States accusing the opposition party of committing "many crimes"!??! Without evidence, to boot! But because Trump says things like this -- again, with zero evidence -- all the time, it barely causes a ripple.

92. "I think [Biden is] the weakest, mentally. And I like running against people that are weak, mentally." June 11 (South Lawn) June 11

93. "The farmers are my best friend." June 11 (South Lawn) June 11

So, Trump says the farmers are his best friend. But do the farmers say the same about him? Or do they have, like, another, other best friend Trump doesn't even know about? On a related note: We can all agree the farmer and the cowman should be friends.

94. "But I just received a beautiful letter from Kim Jong Un. I can't show you the letter, obviously, but it was a very personal, very warm, very nice letter." June 11 (South Lawn) June 11

Me in 8th grade: "I DO SO have a girlfriend. She's a model and she totally loves me. You can't meet her. She lives in Montana. She writes me every day. But the letters are private."

95. "It was Jackie O., and that's good, but we have our own Jackie O. today. It's called Melania. We'll call it Melania T." June 14 ( June 14 ( Fox & Friends

Melania T. has a nice ring to it! Trump was talking, by the way, about his decision to redo Air Force One because he didn't like the "baby blue" color picked by First Lady Jackie Kennedy.

He said this during a rambling 50-minute phone call with Fox & Friends on the morning of his 73rd birthday . Runner-up best line from that interview? "I don't have time to celebrate."

96. "I just was given a meeting with my pollster who -- I, frankly, don't even believe in pollsters, if you want to know the truth. You just run a campaign and whatever it is, it is." June 16 ( June 16 ( ABC George Stephanopoulos interview

Follow this logic: Trump just came from a meeting with his pollster but he doesn't even believe in pollsters. So -- how, why, uh, what? Also, does anyone else remember that Trump would start almost every campaign rally during the 2016 primary by going through the most recent polls where he was ahead? Yeah, me too.

97. "But I just had a meeting with somebody that's a pollster, and I'm winning everywhere." June 16 ( June 16 ( ABC interview

OK. So, Point 1: Trump doesn't believe in pollsters. Point 2: He just met with a pollster and he is "winning everywhere." THIS ALL MAKES SENSE TO ME!!!!

98. "I don't -- there's nothing wrong with listening. If somebody called from a country, Norway, 'We have information on your opponent,' oh, I think I'd want to hear it." June 16 ( June 16 ( ABC interview

Truly stunning stuff here. What Trump, who is, reminder, the President of the United States, seems to fail to grasp is that a foreign county would almost certainly have a motive for passing along negative information about Trump's opponent.

Think back to what we know about Russian interference in the 2016 election. They sought to interfere to help Trump and hurt Hillary Clinton because they thought Trump would be better for their interests. Trump's blindness -- willful or otherwise -- that other countries would pass along this information as part of an attempt to manipulate an American election to produce their desired results is scary -- especially when you consider that we have another national election coming.

99. "People don't understand tariffs, but I understand them. And I also understand the power of tariffs." June 16 ( June 16 ( ABC interview

100. "I put one out this morning. And as soon as I pressed the button, they said, 'We have breaking news.' Every network, every station. 'We have breaking news.' They read my tweet. Why is that bad?" June 16 ( June 16 ( ABC interview

This explanation is the best one I've seen about why Trump uses Twitter so much. He loves to be able to drive news cycles -- even if the news cycle is unfavorable to him. The power to do it is intoxicating to him -- someone who spent his whole life trying to get coverage for himself from what he believed to be a biased media. Now, he can make the news with a single tweet. And he loves it.

101. "Nobody's ever been treated badly like me." June 16 ( June 16 ( ABC interview

Nobody? Ever? [Consults first page of any history book ever.]

102. "Although they do say Abraham Lincoln was treated really badly. I must say that's the one. If you can believe it, Abraham Lincoln was treated supposedly very badly." June 16 ( June 16 ( ABC interview

This is accurate -- especially if your definition of "treated supposedly very badly" is "was assassinated."

103. "George, the report said no collusion." June 16 ( June 16 ( ABC interview

From the report : "We understood coordination to require an agreement -- tacit or express -- between the Trump Campaign and the Russian government on election interference. That requires more than the two parties taking actions that were informed by or responsive to the other's actions or interests. We applied the term coordination in that sense when stating in the report that the investigation did not establish that the Trump Campaign coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities."

104. "When you will see my financial statement, at some point I assume it's going to be released, you'll be very impressed by the job I've done. Much, much bigger, much, much better than anybody." June 16 ( June 16 ( ABC interview

Remember: Trump is the only post-Watergate president not to release a single page of his past tax returns.

105. "If you're going to cough, please leave the room. You just can't, you just can't cough. Boy, oh boy. OK, do you want to do that a little differently than uhh-" June 16 ( June 16 ( ABC interview

White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney coughed during Trump's answer about his "fantastic financial statement." Two thoughts: 1) Trump is a noted germophobe and 2) He is effectively trying to executive produce ABC's interview of him.

106. "I think that Kim Jong Un -- and you've heard many bad things about him, but you've heard from me different things." June 16 ( June 16 ( ABC interview

This seems to suggest that Trump doesn't believe Kim is a bad guy -- and that many of the reports of the atrocities by Kim are, uh, "fake news?"

107. "[Kim] could have almost an instantaneously wealthy behemoth." June 16 ( June 16 ( ABC interview

My college jazz fusion band was named "Instantaneously Wealthy Behemoth."

108. "One person has a higher percentage than your favorite president, Donald Trump. Do you know who that president is? He's got a higher percentage than me and it's devastating. His name is George Washington." June 18 ( June 18 ( Trump Orlando kickoff rally

First, Trump is saying his record of appointing federal judges is behind only that of America's first president. Second: "Your favorite president, Donald Trump."

109. "Our political opponents look down with hatred on our values and with utter disdain for the people whose lives they want to run. That's the way they've been doing it." June 18 ( June 18 ( Trump Orlando kickoff rally

If you are looking for an encapsulation of why Trump won in 2016 -- and why he could win again in 2020 -- this is it. This is Trump at his anti-elite, populist best -- railing against a system that he argues hates and disdains the average person.

110. "A vote for any Democrat in 2020 is a vote for the rise of radical socialism, and the destruction of the American dream." June 18 ( June 18 ( Trump Orlando kickoff rally

Pretty low-stakes then, right?

111. "We will lay the foundation for landing American astronauts on the surface of Mars." June 18 ( June 18 ( Trump Orlando kickoff rally

Like I just said: Mars Awaits

112. "Well, it was a very nice letter, and it was actually a happy birthday letter if you want to know the truth, it was my birthday. And he sent me a beautiful letter, happy birthday, which was nice." June 24 ( June 24 ( The Hill interview

North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un is no dummy. He knows that the way to Trump's heart is through flattery and obsequiousness. Hence, a "beautiful" birthday card.

113. "But there is something going on in that brain of his." June 24 ( June 24 ( The Hill interview

Zero subtlety from Trump here when it comes to suggesting that Biden has something wrong with him.

114. "I took over Obama's policy. It was a policy of separation. I'm the one that put them together." June 24 ( June 24 ( The Hill interview

OK, so here's what is happening: Trump is asked about the deplorable conditions for children in some of the detention facilities along the border . He quickly blamed former President Barack Obama and then pivoted to his stump speech about the lowest unemployment rates for lots of minority groups. Empathy, thy name is not Donald Trump.

115. "I'll say it with great respect, No. 1, she's not my type." June 24 ( June 24 ( The Hill interview

Of all the offensive and out-of-touch things Trump has said since he became a candidate for president in 2015, this has to be in the top five. Trump was responding to allegations made by advice columnist E. Jean Carroll that he raped her in a dressing room at Bergdorf's in the late 1990s. Trump has denied the incident occurred, saying he "never met this person." What the President is saying in this quote is that he would never rape someone like her because she isn't his type. Sit with that for a minute.

116. "You fly over and you say, 'Does it ever stop?' It's big. It's beautiful. It's clean." July 1 (Japan press conference) July 1

Japan: It's nonstop. It's big. It's beautiful. And clean! This is the stuff of travel brochures (do those even exist anymore?)

117. "I think Canada is happy, but they're not happy like we're happy, but they're very happy." July 1 (Japan press conference) July 1

"Canada: Not happy like the US is happy" has potential as a future slogan for our neighbors to the north. Trump said this during a press conference in Osaka, Japan, on Canada Day.

118. "So we spend a lot of time with a lot of countries. We do business with a lot of them. Australia is an example." July 1 (Japan press conference) July 1

"Richard Gere's a real hero of mine. Sting. Sting would be another person who's a hero. The music he's created over the years, I don't really listen to it, but the fact that he's making it, I respect that." -- Hansel

119. "Okay, Jimmy Carter -- look, he was a nice man. He was a terrible president." July 1 (Japan press conference) July 1

120. "We have the cleanest water we've ever had. We have the cleanest air. You saw the reports come out recently. We have the cleanest air we've ever had." July 1 (Japan press conference) July 1

121. "You have a lot of strategies. I have five different strategies. I could change any moment." July 1 (Japan press conference) July 1

Same.

122. "We can have a lot of fun tonight. I have nothing to do. Nothing. Nothing." July 17 ( July 17 ( North Carolina rally

... one of the most powerful world leaders said this at the outset of a campaign rally in North Carolina

123. "That was one hell of a night. I think it was maybe, you know, there are those that say one of the most extraordinary and exciting evenings in the history of television and the history of anything." July 17 ( July 17 ( North Carolina rally

Donald Trump on his election night: "One of the most extraordinary and exciting evenings in the history of television and the history of anything." The history of anything!!

124. "But Cortez, somebody said that's not her name, it's -- they said, 'That's not her name, sir.' I said, 'No, no. I don't have time to go with three different names. We'll call her Cortez. Too much time, takes too much time.'" July 17 ( July 17 ( North Carolina rally

The New York congresswoman's full name is Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. I don't know why Trump is shortening it to just Cortez in front of his most rabid supporters. What could it be??? ( Cough .)

125. "That's why I say, hey, if they don't like it, let them leave. Let them leave. Let them leave." July 17 ( July 17 ( North Carolina rally

To be clear: This is NOT the original message that Trump had for Omar, Pressley, Ocasio-Cortez and Rep. Rashida Tlaib (Michigan). Here's what he tweeted on Sunday : "So interesting to see 'Progressive' Democrat Congresswomen, who originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe, the worst, most corrupt and inept anywhere in the world (if they even have a functioning government at all), now loudly and viciously telling the people of the United States, the greatest and most powerful Nation on earth, how our government is to be run. Why don't they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came."

126. "With conducting brutal, medieval style killings, you know what medieval style is? OK. Little pieces. Little pieces. Little pieces, medieval style including the dismemberment of their victims and they enjoyed every minute of it." July 17 ( July 17 ( North Carolina rally

Uh, OK. (Trump is talking about MS-13 here.)

127. "He checked her blood and found out that many, many, many, many, many, many years ago, there could have been somebody and he could have been Indian. And then the Indians got together and they said, we don't want her." July 17 ( July 17 ( North Carolina rally

128. "I have guys. I have wonderful friends. New York developers, tough guys, smart guys, they're rich. They're this, that. I have middle of the road. I have poor. I have everybody." July 17 ( July 17 ( North Carolina rally

The President of the United States would like you to know he has "poor" friends, ladies and gentlemen.

129. "We had 14 seasons, think of that. The Apprentice. I proudly signed four bipartisan human trafficking laws securing $400 million to support victims of human trafficking." July 17 ( July 17 ( North Carolina rally

These were two sentences that the President said back-to-back. And, no, I have no idea what he believed the connection to be -- or if he believed there to be one.

130. "So, I wasn't going to watch at all, and then I started thinking about it, and then I watched a little bit at the very beginning and I couldn't believe what I was seeing. So, I ended up watching more than I wanted to." July 25 ( July 25 ( Hannity phone call

I laughed out loud when I read this quote about former special counsel Robert Mueller's testimony on Capitol Hill. Not kidding.

131. "It was sort of good television." July 25 ( July 25 ( Hannity phone call

Remember that Trump, at root, is a TV producer. His lens on the world is cable TV.

132. "Every time, you've never seen an empty seat. We go into these massive arenas and they are packed and there's thousands of people outside. You've never seen an empty seat." July 25 ( July 25 ( Hannity phone call

Crowd size has long been Trump's stand-in for popularity. If 8,000 people in North Carolina turn out to see his rally, how can he be unpopular in all of these "fake" polls? The logic flaw here, of course, is large enough to fly a 747 through.

133. "Deplorable was not a good day for Hillary. Crooked Hillary. She is a crooked one. Crooked." August 1 ( August 1 ( Cincinnati rally

Yes, of course, the crowd began chanting "Lock her up!" after Trump said this. On a related note, the 2016 election ended 997 days before he said this.

134. "If a windmill is within two miles of your house, your house is practically worthless." August 1 ( August 1 ( Cincinnati rally

Fun fact about Donald Trump: He really hates windmills. I did a whole video about it! It's one of the things he is most consistent about, actually. Remember this one ? "If you have a windmill anywhere near your house, congratulations, your house just went down 75% in value. And they say the noise causes cancer."

135. "We will be ending the AIDS epidemic shortly in America and curing childhood cancer very shortly." August 1 ( August 1 ( Cincinnati rally

Well, this is good news!

136. "Unlike those big windmills that destroy everybody's property value, kill all the birds." August 13 ( August 13 ( Pennsylvania speech

137. "I was a good builder. I built good. I loved building." August 13 ( August 13 ( Pennsylvania speech

I don't really have much to add here.

138. "Don't worry about the rain, umbrellas work very well, especially when they're made in America." August 13 ( August 13 ( Pennsylvania speech

Information for life!

139. "I love cranes. I love trucks of all types. Even when I was a little boy at four years old my mother would say, 'You love trucks.' " August 13 ( August 13 ( Pennsylvania speech

140. "I got sued on a thing called emoluments -- emoluments. You ever hear the word -- nobody ever heard of it before." August 13 ( August 13 ( Pennsylvania speech

141. "If [Democrats] got in, your fracking is gone, your coal is gone, you guys -- I don't know what the hell you're going to do. You don't want to make widgets, right? You don't want to make -- do you want to learn how to make a computer, little tiny piece of stuff? You put it with those big beautiful hands of yours, look." August 13 ( August 13 ( Pennsylvania speech

"Big beautiful hands of yours." -- The President of the United States.

142. "I don't know who's going to win but we'll have to hit Pocahontas very hard again if she does win. But she's staging a little bit of a comeback. What a group, Pocahontas and Sleepy Joe." August 13 ( August 13 ( Pennsylvania speech

This was supposedly an official White House event. Which means taxpayers were paying for the costs of it, not Trump's 2020 campaign. Which is weird because, well, the speech was totally and completely political.

143. " 'Mr. President, please, for the good of the people of Pennsylvania, stop winning, stop creating all of these jobs, stop creating all of this product. Please, sir, please stop winning.'' And I said to them -- and I will say to them we're never going to stop winning because nobody's ever won like what's happened over the last couple of years. Nobody's ever won like you're winning." August 13 ( August 13 ( Pennsylvania speech

The best winning. So much product.

144. "Denmark, I looked forward to going, but I thought that the Prime Minister's statement -- that it was absurd; that it was an absurd idea -- it was nasty. I thought it was an inappropriate statement. All she had to do is say, 'No, we wouldn't be interested.'" August 21 ( August 21 ( South Lawn

OK, so. Trump wanted to buy Greenland , which is owned by Denmark. The Danes said no. But it was the way they said "no" that pissed Trump off. Everyone knows "absurd" is fighting words, right? RIGHT?

145. "I want guns to be in the hands of people that are mentally stable. And those people, I want them to easily be able to get a gun. But people that are insane, people that are sick up here [points to head], I don't want them to be able to get a gun." August 21 ( August 21 ( South Lawn

146. Doral happens to be within Miami. It's a city. It's a wonderful place. It's a very, very successful area of Florida. It's, very importantly, only five minutes from the airport; the airport is right next door." August 26 ( August 26 ( G7 press conference

Donald Trump owns Doral. Donald Trump is President. Donald Trump was touting Doral as the best location for the next G7 meeting in 2020. Donald Trump knew that if Doral hosted the G7, it would look mighty nice on Doral's marketing materials in the future. Doral will not host the 2020 summit , it turns out.

147. "With Doral, we have a series of magnificent buildings; we call them bungalows. ... The ballrooms are among the biggest in Florida and the best. It's brand new. ... Having it at that particular place, because of the way it's set up, each country can have their own villa, or their own bungalow." August 26 ( " August 26 ( G7 press conference

148. "He was outsmarted by (Russian President Vladimir) Putin. He was outsmarted. President Putin outsmarted President Obama." August 26 ( August 26 ( G7 press conference

The Russian president outsmarted Obama by seizing Crimea? How? Why? So many questions ... and, oh, not for nothing, but Trump called a past president dumb and praised an authoritarian ruler while representing America on foreign soil.

149. "I have a lot of feeling for President Xi. He's very outstanding in so many ways." August 26 ( August 26 ( G7 press conference

"My only question is, who is our bigger enemy, Jay Powell or Chairman Xi?" -- Donald Trump, four days earlier

150. "It should have been done by Bush. It should have been done by Clinton. Double Bush." August 26 ( August 26 ( G7 press conference

"Double Bush." (The "it" is equalizing our trade relationship with China.)

151. "I love the UK. I own great property in the UK. I love the UK. I have no idea how my property is doing because I don't care. But I own Turnberry, and I own in Aberdeen, and I own in Ireland, as you know -- Doonbeg -- and great stuff." August 26 ( August 26 ( G7 press conference

Look, I own a lot of property in the UK that I don't care about. I care so little that I am now going to name all the properties I own in the UK.

152. "France is a great nation. It's being run. A lot of things are happening." August 26 ( August 26 ( G7 press conference

Say what you will about France but you can't argue that "it's being run." Also, "things are happening." A lot of things.

153. "I guess you would start off by saying, 'England.' Right? You know, I ask Boris (Johnson), 'Where's England? What's happening with England?' They don't use it too much anymore." August 26 ( August 26 ( G7 press conference

I, for one, would definitely start off a conversation about Brexit and the European Union by asking why people don't use the word "England" anymore. Absolutely. This makes perfect sense.

154. "I'm not going to lose that wealth. I'm not going lose it on dreams, on windmills -- which, frankly, aren't working too well. I'm not going to lose it." August 26 ( August 26 ( G7 press conference

The question Trump was answering here? "What do you think the world should be doing about climate change? And do you still harbor that skepticism?"

155. "North Carolina will truly recover so fast. I know you people so well. Let's not even talk about it. Let's not even talk about it." September 9 ( September 9 ( Fayetteville rally

Yeah, we shouldn't talk about Hurricane Dorian. Probably for the best.

156. "I have about like 10 women in the front row and you come from North Carolina and they travel all over the place. Hold up your hands. These are great women. I see them so much and I must say they have other things to do. They look rich as hell to me." September 9 ( September 9 ( Fayetteville rally

There are actually a group of people who come to most if not all Trump campaign rallies. WSJ's Mike Bender wrote about them here

157. "You know the other side, I don't think they're big believers. They're not big believers in religion that I can tell you." September 9 ( September 9 ( Fayetteville rally

What evidence did Trump provide for saying that Democrats, as a party, don't have religion? Oh, none.

158. "They want to have drugs pouring into our country." September 9 ( September 9 ( Fayetteville rally

Really? Democrats "want" drugs pouring into the country? Why is this not a bigger story?!?!?

159. "And we have the worst laws. We have the weakest laws in the history of any country." September 9 ( September 9 ( Fayetteville rally

"We have the worst laws." -- The President of the United States

160. "The Russian hoax was a pure hoax." September 9 ( September 9 ( Fayetteville rally

This is a "greatest hits" level Trump quote. But it also makes our 2019 roundup. Here's why: Special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation found that Russia sought to interfere in the 2016 US election with the express intent of helping Trump and hurting Hillary Clinton. Russia did that because they believed a Trump presidency was more beneficial to their interests.

Which, last time I checked, is not how dictionaries define "hoax."

161. "Democrats are now the party of high taxes, high crime, open borders, late term abortion and socialism. They're socialists." September 9 ( September 9 ( Fayetteville rally

This is -- and will be -- Trump's 2020 message. He will repeat it until every voter in the country can recite it by memory. And while it's a gross exaggeration that departs from established facts in some key places -- "they're socialists," for one -- it could work.

162. "Boom. Boom. Made in the USA. If you want Made in America, I don't care. What do you like better? Made in America or Made in the USA?" September 9 ( September 9 ( Fayetteville rally

Real quote.

163. "Under the normal rules, I'll be out in 2024 so we may have to go for an extra term." September 9 ( September 9 ( Fayetteville rally

If you think he is totally joking about trying to run for a third term, let me introduce you to the entire life so far of Donald Trump.

164. "And then they talk about plastic straws -- I said, what about the plate? What about the wrapper that's made out of a much tougher plastic?" September 12 (Baltimore speech to House Republicans) September 12

Boom! Roasted! Take that, environmentalists!

165. "It's gases inside, and read what they say -- if it breaks bring it to your local whatever, have it wrapped, have it this -- what are we doing? What are we doing?" September 12 (Baltimore speech to House Republicans) September 12

(He's talking about light bulbs.)

166. "No more cows, no more planes. I guess no more people, right. Because Kevin is just like a cow, he's just smaller." September 12 (Baltimore speech to House Republicans) September 12

In which Donald Trump compares House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy to a cow.

167. "They just said, 'Sir, could you sign?' the Border Patrol said, 'Could you sign your name?' And I did. I autographed one of the bollards." September 18 ( September 18 ( Press gaggle aboard Air Force One

Somewhere near the San Diego-Mexico border, there is a concrete bollard with Donald Trump's signature on it. Because, why not?!

168. "It's all a hoax, folks. It's all a big hoax." September 26 ( September 26 ( United Nations press conference

"I will say that we do a lot for Ukraine. We spend a lot of effort and a lot of time. Much more than the European countries are doing and they should be helping you more than they are. ... There's a lot of talk about Biden's son, that Biden stopped the prosecution and a lot of people want to find out about that so whatever you can do with the Attorney General would be great. Biden went around bragging that he stopped the prosecution so if you can look into it ... It sounds horrible to me." -- Donald Trump to Zelensky , according to a White House transcript of their phone conversation

169. "It's going to be virtually impossible to cross unless you are one hell of a mountain climber." September 26 ( September 26 ( United Nations press conference

Trump on his border wall.

170. "I used to get great press until I ran for politics. I mean, I used to be the king of getting good press. I was very good at it and I got good. I mean, they covered me well for what otherwise I probably wouldn't be here." September 26 ( September 26 ( United Nations press conference

He said the quiet part out loud.

171. "The call was perfect, the real call, the call I made." October 2 (Press conference with Finnish president) October 2

We heard this one a LOT in 2019. Of course, Trump is talking about his July 25 call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky , which kicked off the US House's impeachment inquiry into Trump and his behavior toward Ukraine. And of course, there is wide disagreement over whether that call was, in fact, "perfect."

172. "And if you look at this whistleblower's -- which I have a lot of respect, for whistleblowers, but only when they're real -- his report of the phone call was totally different than the fact." October 2 (Press conference with Finnish president) October 2

So, real whistleblowers are better than fake whistleblowers. That makes sense! But also, everything we know about the Ukraine call jibes with the whistleblower complaint . I am not sure, then, what Trump is talking about.

173. "There are those that think I am a very stable genius, OK?" October 2 (Press conference with Finnish president) October 2

Yes, geniuses always tell you they are geniuses. And stable people always tell you how stable they are. Sure

174. "Ask the president of Finland a question, please." October 2 (Press conference with Finnish president) October 2

Totally normal stuff! Nothing to see here out of the ordinary!

175. "We never agreed to protect the Kurds for the rest of their lives." October 21 ( October 21 ( Cabinet meeting

If you are a US ally -- like the Kurds! -- and you read this quote, what must you be thinking?

176. "So was there actually an informant? Maybe the informant was Schiff. It could be Shifty Schiff. In my opinion, it's possibly Schiff." October 21 ( October 21 ( Cabinet meeting

OK, so what the President of the United States is accusing the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee with being an informant for the whistleblower? I think? Also, the evidence for this charge is what exactly?

177. "I'm very good at real estate, very, very good; much better than you even understand. ...When you see my financials, which I'll give at the right time, you'll say, 'Man, he was much better than we even thought.'" October 21 ( October 21 ( Cabinet meeting

Know why we haven't seen just how tremendous Trump is at real estate? Because he has refused to turn over even a single year of his tax returns.

178. He died after running into a dead-end tunnel, whimpering and crying and screaming all the way." October 27 ( October 27 ( Baghdadi presser

On a Sunday morning, President Donald Trump announced that ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi had died as a result of a US raid in northern Syria. And then he kept talking. And taking questions. And more questions. Trump was very interested in painting a specific picture of Baghdadi for the public -- of a cowardly fake tough guy. His detailed description of how Baghdadi met his end was a direct contrast to the light-on-details presentation by President Barack Obama when announcing the death of Osama bin Laden in 2011.

179. "The thug who tried so hard to intimidate others spent his last moments in utter fear, in total panic and dread, terrified of the American forces bearing down on him." October 27 ( October 27 ( Baghdadi presser

Like I said, Trump is very interested in you knowing the gritty details -- with the primary aim of casting Baghdadi as a fearful wimp in his last moments.

180. "He died like a dog. He died like a coward." October 27 ( October 27 ( Baghdadi presser

So, yeah.

181. "You know, they use the internet better than almost anybody in the world, perhaps other than Donald Trump." October 27 ( October 27 ( Baghdadi presser

So, ISIS uses the Internet better than everyone except Donald Trump? OK, got it! Totally normal stuff here!

182. "I've been looking for him for three years. I've been looking for him." October 27 ( October 27 ( Baghdadi presser

"I've."

183. "If you read about the history of Donald Trump, I was a civilian. I had absolutely nothing to do with going into Iraq and I was totally against it." October 27 ( October 27 ( Baghdadi presser

184. "Our K9, as they call -- I call it a dog, a beautiful dog, a talented dog -- was injured and brought back, but we had no soldier injured." October 27 ( October 27 ( Baghdadi presser

A "dog," you say? Can't say I'm familiar with the word.

185. "And as I said, they brought body parts back with them, et cetera, et cetera. There wasn't much left. The vest blew up, but there are still substantial pieces that they brought back." October 27 ( October 27 ( Baghdadi presser

Whole lotta detail here.

186. "And I'm writing a book. I think I wrote 12 books, all did very well." October 27 ( October 27 ( Baghdadi presser

... Said the President of the United States in a press conference announcing the death of an ISIS leader.

187. And all you have to do is take a look at Biden and you will see tremendous corruption because what he did is quid pro quo times 10." November 8 (Impromptu press conference) November 8

There is zero evidence of any wrongdoing by Joe Biden vis a vis the removal of a Ukrainian prosecutor. Biden, in his service as vice president, was the face of a broad coalition effort to have the prosecutor dismissed due to concerns about his unwillingness to investigate corruption. Those are the facts.

188. "Let -- let me just tell you, I -- I hardly know the gentleman." November 8 (Impromptu press conference) November 8

Ha, ha, ha...oh wait, he isn't joking. Trump is talking here about Gordon Sondland. Yes, the same Sondland who donated $1 million to Trump's inaugural committee and was rewarded with an posting as the US ambassador to the European Union.

189. "They've gone out and they've gone out of their way to find the people that hate Donald Trump, President Trump, the most." November 8 (Impromptu press conference) November 8

No. Evidence. Any. Witnesses. Hate. Trump.

190. "There is nobody I'd rather run against than Little Michael." November 8 (Impromptu press conference) November 8

Bloomberg, in case you were wondering. Trump, for what it's worth, has said this same thing about Joe Biden, Elizabeth Warren and virtually the entirety of the Democratic field.

191. "It was appropriate. It was perfect. It was nice. It was everything." November 22 ( November 22 ( Fox & Friends interview

The July 25 phone call raised concerns among several longtime diplomats who were either on the call or received a readout of it. And in some cases, they immediately reported their concerns to their superiors. And oh yeah, you can read the transcript of the call and it sure as hell isn't "perfect."

192. "Now, Adam Schiff is a sick puppy." November 22 ( November 22 ( Fox & Friends interview

What's remarkable is that Trump has so stretched the bounds of acceptable conduct that him attacking the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee as a "sick puppy" barely merits mention.

193. "They were spying on my campaign. This is my opinion. I said it a long time ago." November 22 ( November 22 ( Fox & Friends interview

"This is my opinion." Yes, yes it is. And there is zero factual evidence to back it up.

194. "But Rudy Giuliani was one of the great crime fighters of all time. He's also a friend of mine. He's a great person. He's like an iconic figure in this country for two reasons. He was the greatest mayor in the history of New York and he was the greatest crime fighter probably in the last 50 years." November 22 ( November 22 ( Fox & Friends interview

If you thought Trump might throw Giuliani under the bus, think again. At least for today.

195. "Look, the ambassador, the woman, she wouldn't even put up -- she's an Obama person. You know, I've -- I said, why are you being so kind? Well, sir, she's a woman, we have to be nice." November 22 ( November 22 ( Fox & Friends interview

Trump on former Ukraine ambassador Marie Yovanovitch: "She's a woman, we have to be nice." Yet more evidence that if you listen long enough, Trump always says the quiet part out loud.

196. "Her way -- you know, you can never define exactly what it is, you understand that. You're a star, OK? Why? Who the hell knows, but you're a star. There aren't many of them. But what happens is, she has become a star." November 22 ( November 22 ( Fox & Friends interview

Trump on New York Rep. Elise Stefanik. Also, Trump on the intangible qualities of stardom. Truly mesmerizing stuff.

197. "Kellyanne is great. She is married to a total whack job. She must have done number on him. I don't know what Kellyanne did to that guy." November 22 ( November 22 ( Fox & Friends interview

Just to follow Trump's logic here on the Conways: Kellyanne Conway, a White House senior counselor, did a "number" on her husband, George Conway, which is why George is now so critical of Trump. Which suggests Kellyanne is ultimately responsible? Or something?

198. "I don't watch the stock market." December 4 ( December 4 ( Justin Trudeau presser

I laughed out loud. Not kidding.

199. "Where's Hunter? We want the son." December 4 ( December 4 ( Justin Trudeau presser

Yeah. This feels like a good place to end -- the year, that is.
