"Peace through strength made a huge difference in terms of outcome."

"I do think that Donald Trump needs space. Now that the Mueller report said there was no collusion, he needs more space, I think, to operate within and to be strong."

"This administration I believe has taken an action to push back on that, and I applaud them for doing it."
