Trump:

Maggie Haberman is a sick woman. She is unattractive both inside and out.

I say it. I couldn’t care less.

Putin:

Europe is pushing its countries towards war with Russia.

Russia does not threaten and has no intention of threatening European countries.

Everything was resolved following the results of World War II.

Trump pushed back on reports that he skipped New York City’s 9/11 ceremony because politicians are not allowed to give speeches there.

“It’s just not true. I didn’t demand to speak,” Trump said, adding, “I’m sure if I wanted to speak, they would have let me. I am 99 percent sure.”

Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs:

Saudi Arabia condemns the targeting of the East-West Pipeline by drones coming from Iraq.

The Kingdom has chosen not to respond at this stage to the attacks originating from Iraq, in support of the Iraqi government’s efforts.

The Kingdom gave the Iraqi government an opportunity to take the necessary measures to prevent such attacks.

The Kingdom reserves its right to take all necessary measures to protect its sovereignty, security, and facilities.

Trump:

I won the Arab vote in Michigan, which never happened.

Romney got 2%, and they are trying to figure out who they were. Nobody can figure it out.

Trump on Tucker Carlson:

I would say that Tucker Carlson never liked me.

I did a lot for him, in a way.

Trump on Tucker Carlson:

A guy like Tucker should love what I am doing because I made America great again.

In theory, guys like him should be very happy that I am here.

Trump on Canada:

Canada should be a state. If they were a state, I would have no problem.

I would let their automobile companies stay there.

Trump on Canada:

A friend of mine couldn’t buy a Gulfstream in Canada because of some rule that they had.

I immediately put a huge tariff on Bombardier.

Trump on rebuilding the World Trade Center:

My proposal was to build the two identical buildings and make them 10 stories taller.

I thought that would have been a great thing.

Trump on Charlie Kirk:

I think that Charlie Kirk certainly would have had a good chance of being president.

Trump on Tucker Carlson:

Tucker Carlson is very inconsistent.

I dumped him a few months ago because he was saying very bad things.

He would hit Mark Levin and others. I just didn’t like it.

Putin on the AfD’s election victory in Saxony-Anhalt:

I think that everything currently happening in Europe as a whole is the result of systemic mistakes made by the so-called West, or, more precisely, by Western globalists in the areas of politics, security, and the economy.

Everyone makes mistakes, and we have made quite a few ourselves, as has the rest of the world.

But the problem for the globalist West is that after the end of the Cold War and the collapse of the Soviet Union, they felt they were at the top of Mount Olympus and apparently believed that they were allowed to do anything and that they were the ones who never made mistakes.

And they began compounding those mistakes.

Putin:

Russia does not threaten and has no intention of threatening European countries.

Putin on Germany:

In the leading economy of the eurozone — I won’t point fingers — industrial production has fallen by 8% over the past several years.

For them, that is a very significant amount.

Saudi Arabia has signaled it may launch a major military operation against the Houthis even without direct U.S. involvement, according to a U.S. official.

Riyadh has not made a final decision, but Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman pressed Trump for U.S. military intervention in two calls Thursday.

For now, Washington is offering intelligence and targeting support but is not planning direct strikes in Yemen.

Hegseth:

There are still enemies who hate us. Every day, enemies plot to curb our power and kill our citizens, including Islamic terrorists abroad and at home.

But we are ever vigilant—especially this place, especially these people.

Hegseth on Iran:

We’re still sending terrorists where they belong—to hell—and tankers to the bottom of the ocean, where they belong.

Hegseth on the GWOT:

We fought foreign wars—a generation of sacrifice, of valor, selfless and steadfast.

Even if imperfect, those conflicts were our retribution.

Hegseth:

We know, as the Scripture says, the world will always have war and rumors of war. And so the fight goes on.

And so we raise up a new generation of strong, brave warriors who will say, when it matters most, "Send me."

Hegseth:

We have faith that there is One who keeps watch over us. And Scripture tells us that the Lord is our fortress and our shield. The Lord trains our arms for war and our hands for battle.

Strengthened by faith in Almighty God, we will continue to defeat our enemies and protect this republic, just as the heroes and the warriors of 9/11 did.
