Trump mocks Macron again:

I called up France, Macron, whose wife treats him extremely badly and he’s still recovering from the right to the jaw.

Trump:

We didn’t have to go into Ukraine. Ukraine’s thousands of miles away across the ocean.

We had a president who’s a stupid individual. Gave them $350 billion. Got nothing for it. Gave them so much money, used so much ammunition.

We’re making ammunition all over the place because we need it because he gave so much away to Ukraine.

Trump on Iran:

The war was going to be over in three days. My prediction.

Trump:

If the Iran deal doesn’t happen, I’m blaming JD Vance.

If it does happen, I’m taking full credit.

Trump:

They go to Minnesota from Somalia and they stole $19 billion.

And they’re low IQ. Generally, I mean, I can generalize. They’re low IQ people. They’re bad people.

NOW: NASA’s Artemis II has launched.

Trump:

They call me king now. Do you believe it? No king. I'm such a king. I can't get a ballroom approved. It's pretty amazing, right?

If I was a king, we'd be doing a lot more. I'm doing a lot, but I could be doing a lot more if I was a king.

Trump:

I think Christians like Israel more than Jewish people like Israel.

Trump:

We have regime change in Iran. We got it by accident.

I never liked the idea of regime change because it’s too complex to put it down on a wish list... but we got it.

Trump:

Trump:

We could just take Iran's oil. But, you know, I'm not sure that the people in our country have the patience to do that, which is unfortunate. You know, they want to see it end...

People in the country sort of say, “Just win. You're winning so big. Just win. Come home.” And I'm okay with that, too, because we have a lot of oil.

Trump:

When somebody's nice to me, I love that person.

Even if they're bad people, I couldn't care less. I'll fight to the end for them.

Trump has discussed possibly firing Pam Bondi, mainly due to frustration with her leadership and handling of the Epstein files.

He has suggested Lee Zeldin as a potential replacement, but no final decision has been made.

Trump:

The United States can’t take care of daycare.

We can’t take care of daycare. We’re a big country. We have 50 states. We have all these other people. We’re fighting wars.

It’s not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these individual things.

Trump on JD Vance:

Oh, JD. He’s lost weight. He got a little thinner. And I’m looking for a heavyset gentleman, and now I find a perfect — a perfect-looking specimen.

Trump on Iran:

Iran’s Navy is gone. Their Air Force is in ruins...

Trump on Iran:

We’re now totally independent of the Middle East. We are there to help.

We don’t have to be there. We don’t need their oil. We don’t need anything they have. But we’re there to help our allies.

Trump says Iran is the most "violent and thuggish regime on Earth."

Trump on Iran:

Qasem Soleimani was an evil genius.
