Trump:

Religion is a very important factor in a country's success.

It doesn't have to be Christianity. That's our religion.

If you look at some of these countries without religion, they are not happy places. Does that make sense to you?

Trump on Ukraine:

Ukraine has very rich, very fertile soil in terms of rare earth.

We have a contract signed having to do with rare earth.

We can go in there at any time and take pretty much whatever we want.

That's a pretty good deal.

Trump on Iran:

With Iran, depending on definitions, we lost 16–18 people.

Trump on Iran:

The same people that kept us in Vietnam for 21 years are complaining about Iran.

Trump on Iran:

I am doing a much bigger job than I said I was gonna do. I was going to go in and knock out their military, go in, go out.

Then I realised if we do that, we have to have some form of maintenance. Otherwise, they rebuild.

Trump:

If it weren't for me, Israel would not exist today. They would not exist.

Iran was 2 weeks away from having a nuclear weapon.

Trump:

I'd love to be the next guy in office.

The next guy in office is gonna look like a supergenius.

He is gonna get credit.

Trump:

McKinley made our country probably the richest it ever was. Then Roosevelt came along, took the money, and spent it.

McKinley was never given the credit he deserves.

Trump on Iran:

You want to see everything end fast? Give crazy people nuclear weapons.

It'll end real fast.

Q: Noncitizens will know that if they vote, they are gonna be shown the door.

Trump: I love that idea. I am gonna look into that, actually. That's a good way of getting them not to vote.

Trump on Iran:

Prices are way down, with the exception of oil. When they thought we had a deal 2 weeks ago, prices dropped like a rock.

But we want to have a real deal. I don't want a fake deal.

NEW: Yemen's Houthis say they forced eight Saudi oil tankers to reroute around the Cape of Good Hope as a result of their naval blockade.

Q: On Iran, do you have any idea—is it a month, a year? How long is it gonna take to resolve what's happening?

Trump: It's always difficult. We did Venezuela in less than a day.

Trump on Iran:

Iran would have developed a nuclear weapon 6–7 years ago if I hadn't terminated the JCPOA.

Trump:

What’s happening with Spain, with tens of thousands of Illegal Immigrants invading it, happened in the United States during the Sleepy Joe Biden Administration, and it will happen again, only worse, if the Dumocrats ever again gain power.

DON’T LET OUR COUNTRY BE DESTROYED. VOTE REPUBLICAN, AND BE PROUD OF THE U.S.A.

Wildberries founder Tatiana Kim on the Ukrainian drone attacks:

By striking us, terrorists hide the true reasons and accuse us of allegedly selling military goods. But you can open any global marketplace—Amazon or Alibaba—and see if we have anything they don't.

There is no logic, common sense, or rationality in the terrorists' actions, and there cannot be.

The enemy himself made a public statement that the attacks on Wildberries are aimed at ordinary citizens.

Their only goal is to apply pressure, destabilize, and cause panic and shock among a large number of people.

Wildberries founder Tatiana Kim on the Ukrainian drone attacks:

We see that the situation has united everyone: entrepreneurs, buyers, the business community, and representatives of regional authorities are uniting to solve the problem together.

We will do everything to help businesses cope with this difficult situation. I thank everyone for the support.

Together we are stronger, because Wildberries is you.

Russia is providing Iran with electronic intelligence that helps it track U.S. forces and counter American weapons, according to U.S. and European officials.

The intelligence reportedly includes satellite surveillance and signals intelligence, enabling Iran to better defend against U.S. airstrikes and improve its own aerial attacks as the conflict continues.
