I hope he's reminded of that. He is not meeting with a friend. He is meeting with an adversary, and an adversary who hopes to play him.

I hope he's reminded of that. He is not meeting with a friend. He is meeting with an adversary, and an adversary who hopes to play him.

I'm dreaming that for whatever combination of reasons, including the elusive Nobel Peace Prize, President Trump may actually stand up to Putin on behalf of not just Ukraine and its democracy and its very brave people, but frankly, on…

Honestly, if he could bring about the end to this terrible war, where Putin is the aggressor, invading a neighbor country, trying to change the borders — if he could end it without putting Ukraine in a position where it had to concede its…

My worry is that the photo-op in and of itself essentially legitimizes war crimes.

To make it clear that there must be a ceasefire. There will be no exchange of territory. And that, over a period of time, Putin should be actually withdrawing from the territory he's seized in order to demonstrate his good-faith efforts…

If we could pull that off, if President Trump were the architect of that, I'd nominate him for a Nobel Peace Prize, because my goal here is to not allow capitulation to Putin, aided and abetted by the United States. I think that's a…

We will end the war in Ukraine, but we will do so through a strong president and a strong commander-in-chief.

My hopes and prayers are with Donald Trump in Alaska over the next couple of days.

We know that federal government is not the answer when it comes to issues at the local level.

Listen, the European leaders have demonstrated weakness towards Putin and towards our enemies for a long time.

I’m always in favor of talking, and we’d all like to see peace, but I’m very worried because, from day one, while Donald Trump said he was going to end the war in Ukraine, he has been played like a fiddle by Vladimir Putin.

When Joe Biden came in, he gave a multibillion-dollar gift to Vladimir Putin, and that caused the war in Ukraine.

If you lift that cap, we can substantially increase benefits, which is what we’ve got to do, and extend the life of Social Security for many, many decades.

This is a huge fight. We have the American people behind us. Let’s win it.

Trump and Musk have also absurdly and quite intentionally lied to the American people, by suggesting that millions and millions of people who are between the ages of 140 and 360 years of age are receiving Social Security.

Despite its popularity and despite its success, Trump and [Elon] Musk and others have been working overtime to try to dismantle Social Security and importantly, undermine the confidence that the American people have in it.
