Trump:

We can’t let a country blackmail or extort the world.

That’s what they’re doing — they’re really blackmailing the world.

We’re not going to let that happen.

Trump:

We’ve been called this morning — by the right people, the appropriate people — and they want to work a deal.

They would like to work a deal.

Trump says he won’t apologize to Pope Leo:

I won’t apologize.

Pope Leo said things that are wrong.

I think Pope Leo is very weak on crime.

Trump:

We have a blockade.

They’re doing no business.

Iran is doing absolutely no business — and we’re going to keep it that way.

There’s no fighting right now.

Trump:

We may stop by Cuba after we’re finished with Iran.

Trump:

We believe in law and order, and Pope Leo seems to have a problem with that.

There is nothing to apologize for; he is wrong.

Reporter: Did you post that picture of yourself depicted as Jesus Christ?

Trump: I did post it, and I thought it was me as a doctor. It had to do with the Red Cross, as a Red Cross worker.

Trump: Do you think men should play in women's sports?

DoorDash worker: I really don't have an opinion on that.

Trump:

For those people that still read The Failing New York Times and, despite the fact that Iran has been totally OBLITERATED, Militarily, and otherwise, you would think that Iran is actually winning or, at the very least, doing quite well — But that’s not true, and The New York Times knows that it’s FAKE NEWS!

When does this Corrupt Media Outlet apologize for their LIES and horrible actions against me, my supporters, and our Country itself! HAVE THEY NO SHAME? HAVE THEY NO SENSE OF DECENCY?

Hezbollah Leader Naim Qassem:

They say to us: "If you hadn't confronted Israel, we wouldn't have paid these losses."

If we hadn't confronted, we would have paid more and lost everything.

Do you think that Israel is leaving us? It's the one that is attacking.

Netanyahu attacks Europe:

Europe has forgotten so many things since the Holocaust.

Europe can learn many things from us, and above all — the most important thing: the sharp distinction between good and evil.
