You know what? We send in whatever is necessary. People don’t care. They don’t want crime in their cities.
But, we have to take care of this little gnat that’s on our shoulder called the Democrats.
We will get our service members every last penny. Don’t worry about it.
The president wants to see a ceasefire. He wants to see the hostages released, and the technical teams are discussing that as we speak to ensure that the environment is perfect to release those hostages.
I really think we’re going to have a deal. We have a really good chance of making a deal, and it will be a lasting deal.
As your commander in chief, I will always stand for you. I promise you that.
There's a huge problem in Chicago. It's called crime. And we want to put out the crime and they want to inflame the crime.

If you truly want peace and stability and a better future for the Palestinian people, then there has to be a Gaza that is not governed or controlled in any way, shape or form by Hamas or anything that looks like Hamas.
There can be peace in Gaza. There can be Palestinian governance in Gaza, whether you call it statehood or something else, as long as it is not terrorists that are in charge of that territory.
You can't release hostages while there's still bombardments going on.
We need to get these hostages out, and we just need technocrats that are not terrorists to be able to begin the basic reconstruction of Gaza.
The only way you're ever going to have anything that looks like statehood is in a negotiated deal with the Israelis.
If we can get off that road and onto a different road, there are a lot of possibilities long term and in the future, but right now…
Once you agree on the logistics of how this is going to happen – I think the Israelis and everyone acknowledge you can't release hostages in the middle of strikes, so the strikes will have to stop.
The ideal outcome here is, you don't have to carry out any counterterror missions because there are no terrorists in Gaza because Gaza is governed by Palestinian technocrats.
