We don’t want a vassal state and that’s not what Israel is. We don’t want a client state.

So I don’t know that I want to get involved. It’s really a question of, would I rather have a Democrat or a Communist? And I would rather have a Democrat than a Communist if he dropped it.

They’re not going to get a lot of things back.

It’s awfully strange to make a decision on how much I’m paying myself.

But I’m not going to do what the president of the United States has thus far refused to do, which is put an explicit deadline on it, because a lot of this stuff is difficult.

We'll see what happens. We haven't made a determination.

It’s one thing to read about it, it’s one thing to talk with Jared and Steve on the phone about what’s going on on the ground.

I think Putin wants it to end, and I think Zelensky wants it to end, and I think it's going to end.

They probably owe me a lot of money, but if I get money from our country, I’ll do something nice with it, like give it to charity or give it to the White House.
