Donald Trump

Well, I do think there’s blame — yes, I think there’s blame on both sides. You look at — you look at both sides. I think there’s blame on both sides. And I have no doubt about it, and you don’t have any doubt about it either.

I discovered, for the first time but not the last, that politicians don’t care too much what things cost. It’s not their money.

Part of the beauty of me is that I’m very rich

We will follow two simple rules: Buy American and hire American.

It is time to show the whole world that America is back – bigger and better and stronger than ever before.

I built a great company, one of the – some of the most iconic assets in the world, $10 billion of net worth, more than $10 billion of net worth, and frankly, I had a great time doing it.

Rational discussion is useful only when there is a significant base of shared assumptions.

If not me, who? And if not now, when?

I welcome David Cameron’s work. This idea, or programme, that he describes as a Big Society, as I understand it, means that the gaps between different groups of people should be bridged. I think this is a very democratic idea, and I support that.

Unfortunately, you can’t vote the rascals out, because you never voted them in, in the first place

The government of the world I live in was not framed, like that of Britain, in after-dinner conversations over the wine.

Capital punishment is a crime. I agree with Amnesty International on that one, and indeed with most of the world. The state should have no right to take people’s lives.

Legal aid is fundamentally important in a democratic, civilised society.

Despite all the achievements of civilisation, the human being is still one of the most vulnerable creatures on earth.

When people grow more alienated and isolated, they begin to develop highly irrational and very self-destructive attitudes. They want something in their lives…[t]hey don’t want to be just glued to the TV set. If most of the constructive ways are cut off, they turn to other ways.

The big transnationals want to reduce freedom by undermining the democratic functioning of the states in which they’re based, while at the same time ensuring the government will be powerful enough to protect and support them.

We must stop using the language of force and return to the path of civilized diplomatic and political settlement.

The introduction, for example, of restrictive tariffs on steel, on aluminum, not only for Europe but also for Canada and Mexico, in essence these are also sanctions… They are related to the pragmatic national interests of the United States.

Do you remember the tsar? Well, I‘m like a tsar.

The first role of government is to help people who are in crisis or need. That’s why we have government.
