The White House

In order to do it properly we had to take down the existing structure.

They probably owe me a lot of money.

If you help us reopen the government, the sombrero memes will stop.

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.

If [Sliwa] dropped out, he’s not going to win — and not looking too good for Cuomo either.

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.

But we’re going to keep on working at this process, and we’re going to keep on trying to bring the deceased hostages home.

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.

It’s not the end. It is, in fact, exactly how this is going to have to happen when you have people who hate each other.

I want to say that there is this weird attitude I’ve sensed in the American media and the Western media, where there’s almost this desire to root for failure.

Can I say with 100% certainty that it's going to work? No, but you don't do difficult things by only doing what's 100% certain. You do difficult things by trying.

What we’ve seen the past week gives me great optimism the ceasefire is going to hold, and if we get from where we were a week ago to a long-term, durable peace between Israel and Gaza, there are going to be hills and valleys.

Look, I think that we are one week into President Trump's historic peace plan in the Middle East, and things are going frankly better than I expected that they were.

We are in a very good place. We're going to have to keep working on it.

This is not the end.

There are not going to be American boots on the ground in Gaza.

We're not going to force anything on our Israeli friends when it comes to foreign troops on their soil.

I happen to like the president of Argentina — I think he’s trying to do the best he can — but don’t make it sound like they are doing great. They are dying, alright? They are dying.

Nothing is benefiting Argentina. They’re fighting for their life. You understand what that means?

Look, look, Argentina is fighting for its life, young lady. You don’t know anything about it.

Not going to waste our time

Just helping a great philosophy take over a great country.

I said, go to the line. Go to the line of battle, the battlefield lines.

Let it be cut the way it is. It's cut up right now. I think 78% of the land is already taken by Russia.
