Trump on Ukraine War:

The Russians had a thousand tanks riding up a concrete highway.

They would have been in Ukraine in four hours, going maximum tank speed, which is 48 miles an hour, to be exact. Nothing to stop them. The war would have been over in one day.

And this very stupid general—I have no idea who he is. I doubt he’s still with us. I doubt he’s still living.

He decided to hang a right onto the farmland and then take a left and go up to Kyiv, rather than staying on the highway—the concrete highway, perfectly good highway—where they were doing very nicely.

It would have been three and a half, four hours, and the whole war would have ended.

He ended up getting stuck in the mud.

Q: Can you confirm that the U.S. is on the verge of a deal to free the American teacher, Stephen Hubbard, from Russia?

Trump: Just stick with me. Nobody else was able to do it. Just stick with me. I don't want to talk about it.

Trump on Ukraine War:

Thousands of soldiers are getting killed a month. It's the craziest thing I've ever heard of.

Over what?

Q: Can you fill us in on what Hegseth spoke about with Netanyahu in Israel?

Trump: I can't do that now, no.

Trump on Ilhan Omar:

They keep talking about deportation. She could go to jail.

Trump on Somalia:

Somalia is a real shithouse, okay? It's not even a country.

Trump to a reporter:

Quiet! QUIET! What's wrong with you? Are you a sick person?

I actually think there's something wrong with you.

Trump on his rallies:

It’s not easy to stand up there for two hours, ranting, raving.

Trump:

NATO was nice enough to give us Greenland, despite all the bad talk.

Iran's Security Council Secretary Rezaei:

Not a single gram of enriched uranium will be removed from Iran. There will be no negotiations until the United States takes steps to build trust.

That process must begin with the full fulfillment of all Iran’s conditions.

Trump yells at a female reporter:

Shhh. Wait, wait. WAIT!

Trump on Russia:

Russia lost 50 million people in the Second World War.

Trump on Ukraine:

We gave $350 billion to Ukraine. And I insisted on getting something for that money, and we got a very big chunk of land and rare earth and other things.

Let's see what that amounts to.

Trump on Ukraine:

We have given probably more money to Ukraine than almost anybody over the years, hundreds of billions of dollars.

We've gotten nothing back, and the American taxpayers are tired of it.

We want Zelensky to make a deal.

Trump on Zelensky:

I don't think Zelensky's people are going to stand for it any longer.

He needs to make a deal.

Trump on Zelensky:

Zelensky could have made a good deal back in March 2025.

He could have made a much better deal than he can make now.

Trump on Ukraine War:

The hatred between Putin and Zelensky is tremendous.

I think that's most of the reason they haven't been able to make a deal, actually.

Trump on Ukraine War:

The night before the Ukraine War started, they had the heaviest rainfall they had in 10 years.

The land was soaking wet.

Q: For a peace deal to happen in Ukraine, that means Zelensky and Putin will have to be in the same room at the same time to sign that agreement?

Trump: I guess they can do it another way. It’s hard for them to be in the same room.

I don’t care how it’s done.

Donald Trump Jr. privately opposes his father’s war with Iran, believing it betrays Trump’s promise to avoid new Middle East conflicts.

He has reportedly expressed his concerns directly to his father but refuses to criticize him publicly.
