Presidents

We had some good meetings over the years, right? Good, productive meetings over the years, and we hope to have that in the future.

I don’t want to call a national emergency, but if I have to, I will.

You can’t have 30 days.

So we’re going to need a crime bill. That we’re going to be putting in, and it’s going to pertain initially to DC.

Well, if it’s a national emergency, we can do it without Congress. But we expect to be before Congress very quickly.

As President of the United States, I’m not going to let this Communist Lunatic destroy New York. Rest assured, I hold all the levers, and have all the cards. I’ll save New York City, and make it ‘Hot’ and ‘Great’ again, just like I did…

That's a great step if they're doing that. Yeah, I think that's going to happen all over the country. We want to stop crime.

Washington, D.C. will be LIBERATED today! Crime, Savagery, Filth, and Scum will DISAPPEAR. I will, MAKE OUR CAPITAL GREAT AGAIN!

I’m going to make our Capital safer and more beautiful than it ever was before.

I really do, I hate them. I cannot stand them because I really believe they hate our country.

[T]he problem with Switzerland is that we have a $40 billion [CHF32.16 billion] deficit. I spoke yesterday to Switzerland, but we have a $40 billion deficit […] That’s a big deficit.

We can’t let a systematic assault on democracy just happen and stand by and so because of your actions, because of your courage, what you’ve seen is California responding, other states looking at what they can do to offset this mid-decade…

I’m not doing this for my health. I don’t need it. I’d like to focus on our country — but I’m doing this to save a lot of lives.

The highly anticipated meeting between myself, as President of the United States of America, and President Vladimir Putin, of Russia, will take place next Friday, August 15, 2025, in the Great State of Alaska.

I won’t be happy if I walk away without some form of a cease-fire.

I’ve got to let Ukraine make that decision. I think they’ll make a proper decision. But I’m not here to negotiate for Ukraine. I’m here to get them at the table.

I want to see a cease-fire rapidly. I don’t know if it’s going to be today, but I’m not going to be happy if it’s not today.

If it doesn't, I'm going to head back home real fast.

I'm in this to stop the killing.

I won't be happy if I walk away without some form of a ceasefire.

Now it's really up to President Zelenskyy to get it done.

Very severe consequences

I’m not doing this for my health. I’d like to focus on our country, but I’m doing this to save a lot of lives.

Look, Vladimir Putin wanted to take all of Ukraine. If I wasn’t president, he would, right now, be taking all of Ukraine, but he’s not going to do it.
