Trump:

Growth does not cause inflation; stupidity causes inflation.

Trump:

We should be allowed to have a GDP of 12-13-14-15 instead of 2-3-4 all the time.

Reporter: If the Iran conflict is not a war, then what exactly is it?

Trump: I call it a military conflict because it's small potatoes for us; it's not a big thing.

Reporter: On Iran, 18 people have died. We have seen record-long deployments.

Trump: Why is it record-long? How long were we in Vietnam?

Trump on Iran:

We may hit Pickaxe Mountain very soon because if there is anything going on with Pickaxe.

Trump:

We took over Venezuela, and we have essentially taken over Iran.

There's been no shooting for days.

Trump on Putin:

I speak to Putin; I know him very well. Putin is not looking to attack NATO territory.

Trump:

Each point in interest in this country that we pay costs $650 billion dollars.

We should be at 1%; we shouldn't be at 4%.

Trump on Russia:

Witkoff and Kushner are bringing a proposal to end the war to Moscow.

Trump:

I ended eight wars; I get no credit for it.

Did I get the Nobel Prize? No, although the person who got it was nice enough that she gave it to me.

She said, "Nobody in the history of the Nobel Prize deserves it more than you."

But in Norway, they don't like me because they think I am a little conservative.

Trump:

We could do tremendous good for ourselves by just not trading with countries.

We lose $200 billion dollars a year with the European Union. If I didn't trade with them, we would lose nothing.

Trump on Iran:

I said to Xi Jinping, "Please don't get involved with Iran."

They are not really involved; very little involvement by China.

China could have plenty of involvement.

Trump on the Strait of Hormuz:

Pipelines are being built right now. The road through Syria is being built; it's open, actually. People are taking trucks through Syria — massive trucks with oil in them.

A lot of alternatives are being made to the Strait of Hormuz.

The Strait of Hormuz is not what it used to be.

Trump on Russia:

I sent Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, two great negotiators.

They have done a great job.

Trump:

If you want to get rich as a state, you will want data centers.

If you want to go through poverty and crime, I would say don't approve data centers.

You know, you have your choice.

Trump on Ukraine:

There is a personality problem in Russia-Ukraine.

Zelensky and Putin, they truly hate each other. You know what hate is? They have serious hate.

The hate is getting in the way of them.

Trump on Canada:

If we didn't want to trade with Canada... I don't think Canada would exist.

Reporter: When should the American people expect a resolution on Iran?

Trump: Revolution?

Reporter: Resolution.

Trump: Big difference. I thought that revolution was more interesting.

Reporter: Where is that beef coming from?

Trump: It's coming from different places. It's coming from Argentina, it's coming from Brazil, it's coming from a couple of other places.

It's very clean. It's very good.

Trump on Iran:

We lost 18 great souls. I got very friendly with some of the families.

In Vietnam, we lost tens of thousands of people. In Afghanistan, we lost a lot.

Sleepy Joe Biden lost 13 just by standing at an airport.

Israel’s Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar:

We don't want Turkish military bases in Syria.
