Trump:

Communism is very easy to sell. I’d be the Greatest Communist in History. I’d give free rent, free houses, free food, everything is free. Unfortunately, after two or three years, the Country where this is taking place would fail. It always does, and then you’ll start living in squalor.

There will be no food, there will be no housing, there will be no Military, there will be no nothing. You’ll be Third World every way, and everyone will suffer or die. I’m sorry to say, but Assassinations of those who oppose them is a very important element of their Ideology. They’re animals! In many cases, not smart but, in some cases, they are.

It’s easy for them to get followers because they make promises that they know they can’t keep, and the Dumocrats aren’t fighting back. In many ways, they’re allowing them to go their own way. They’re afraid they will lose their Election, they’re afraid of conflict. They’re not smart enough or tough enough to fight this plague. If they fought them the way they fight Republicans, or me, they’d be victorious, but they don’t have the courage to do so.

These are not social Dumocrats, these are hard core, godless Communists. This is the most serious threat to our Country since its existence 250 years ago. Isn’t it ironic, we’re celebrating a very important Birthday, and instead of speaking about Christ, Freedom, and Victories of all different kinds, we’re speaking about yet another threat to the Foundations of America.

These ruthless Communists will attack all Religions but, in particular, Christianity – They always do. All Communist Countries attack Religions violently. As you know, we recently struck Nigeria, and largely ended the slaughter of their Great Christian population. They know that if they go further, the attack will be far greater and, in that, they don’t want to get involved.

I am saving Christians throughout the World, even though we are not in those various Countries, by hitting these Terrorists violently and hard. They will close your Churches, they will kill your people. This is what they’re about. This is the Greatest Threat to our Country since its Founding 250 years ago!

Israel and Lebanon signed a U.S.-brokered framework agreement in Washington, marking the start of formal cooperation talks.

Trump:

Religion is back in our country bigger and stronger than it has been in many many years.

Trump:

To be a great nation, you have to have religion and God.

If you don't have that, it just doesn't seem to work out, does it?

Trump:

Under Democrats, Catholics were targeted by the FBI.

Pro-life grandmothers were put in jail for praying.

Members of our military were thrown out of the armed forces for their religious beliefs.

Trump:

Our Founders invoked the Creator four times in the Declaration of Independence. Four times.

I wasn't mentioned once. I'm very upset. Not once.

Netanyahu:

Israel remains in the security zone in southern Lebanon. This is a great achievement, and we will maintain it as long as Hezbollah is not disarmed, as long as a threat to the State of Israel exists.

This is also a major blow to Iran. Iran is trying to force us into a withdrawal by force from southern Lebanon. And in effect, Israel, Lebanon, and the United States are telling them — this is none of your business.

You have no role in Lebanon. Not you, not Hezbollah, and not any terrorist organization.

The additional matter is, of course, that we are allowing the Lebanese army to begin organizing itself to take territory. We are doing two pilot zones, both at the IDF's recommendation.

One is entirely outside the security zone — it is south of the Litani — and the second is north of the Litani, a small part of it in the expanded security zone that we achieved in the past two weeks, and which the IDF does not need — it says this in the clearest manner.

We continuously maintain the original security zone, outside the anti-tank range. We do not allow Hezbollah to enter there, nor the [civilian] population.

Trump on Colombia:

I endorsed El Tigre. I liked him. You know why? Because he likes me.

Trump on Colombia:

El Tigre was in way down the list. He had no chance of winning.

I endorsed him, and he won.

Trump:

I will be honest—I think I'd be the greatest communist in history.

Trump:

All communists are godless.

Trump:

Mayor Mamdani, who seems like a nice guy, said he was going to make sure that people don't have a rent increase, even though energy went up.

Trump on Iran:

Nobody wants to be the leader of Iran anymore.

They said, "Who would like to be the president?" and everyone said, "No, thank you."

Trump:

Fake news said Iran was much stronger today than it was 4 months ago.

They are dying to make a deal.

They are giving us a lot.

Trump:

The killing of Soleimani was one of the biggest things ever to happen in the Middle East.

Trump:

I think Khomeini and others in Iran were happy that I killed Soleimani.

Because they were afraid of him too.

Trump calls Obama's Iran deal "JCPOC."

Trump:

Zer-ooooo.

Trump on Venezuela:

They had a tremendous earthquake. A lot of people were killed.

We have a lot of people there helping.

Venezuela has been fantastic. We have a great relationship.
