Donald Trump

As an entrepreneur, I choose my teachers carefully, very carefully. I am extremely cautious of the people with whom I spend my time and to whom I listen.

I’ve met some great people that deal with me in the press. I’ve also met some people that were very dishonorable, frankly.

In business, cooperation is essential to success.

America is one of the few places in the world where a poorperson can still be obese.

I always wanted to get the Purple Heart. This was much easier.

Kim Jong-un speaks and his people sit up at attention. I want my people to do the same.

Being in politics is like being a football coach. You have to be smart enough to understand the game, and dumb enough to think it’s important.

Cointelpro really told you something about the government. Therefore, it was basically suppressed, it is still suppressed so that people don’t know anything about it. Watergate, on the other hand, was a minor scandal.

Nobody believes the official spokesman… but everybody trusts an unidentified source.

I myself know some people who are gay. We’re on friendly terms. I’m not prejudiced in any way.

What I won’t do is take in two hundred thousand Syrians who could be ISIS… I have been watching this migration. And I see the people. I mean, they’re men. They’re mostly men, and they’re strong men. These are physically young, strong men. They look like prime-time soldiers. Now it’s probably not true, but where are the women?… So, you ask two things. Number one, why aren’t they fighting for their country? And number two, I don’t want these people coming over here.

More time and at least a degree of reasonableness in the treatment of the Labour Party. Because the message that we’re putting out on austerity hasn’t fundamentally changed. There’s been an enormous barrier in getting it across, but now I think a lot of people understand what we’re saying and why we’re saying it.

In 1995, Russia virtually gave Chechnya de facto statehood and independence even though, de jure, it didn’t recognize Chechnya as an independent state. And I would like to emphasize strongly that Russia withdrew all of its troops, we moved the prosecutors, we moved all the police, dismantled all the courts, completely, 100 percent.

I have the greatest supporters in the world. By the way they’re the smartest, they’re the hardest working, they pay taxes.

Donald Trump and I have, firstly, met more than once at various international venues and secondly, we regularly talk over the phone.

The system of private property is the most important guarantee of freedom, not only for those who own property, but scarcely less for those who do not.

The first less is this: take it from me, every vote counts.

Here at home, when Americans were standing in long lines to give blood after the attack on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, we squandered an obvious opportunity to make service a noble cause again, and rekindle an American spirit of community.

A lie told often enough becomes the truth.

Sometimes people ask me why I began perestroika. Were the causes basically domestic or foreign? The domestic reasons were undoubtedly the main ones, but the danger of nuclear war was so serious that it was a no less significant factor.

If it’s wrong when they do it, it’s wrong when we do it.
