  • "It's really tumbling, it's, I guess, $74, $75 right now, so it's down... And on top of that, we will have an Iran without a nuclear weapon."
  • "It's been happening from my first term when a very evil man named Soleimani was killed. That's when it started and nobody else did this but Trump."
  • "My deal is a wall to a nuclear -- you're not going to have it, it's a wall to a nuclear weapon."
  • "You know, deals are amazing, I've done them all my life... you never know with deals, do you? But you're going to find out pretty soon. I think it'll be done. They want to sign; they want to get back to a normal life."
  • "we have the greatest military in the world, we have the greatest blockade, the naval blockade was 100 percent effective... they have no Navy, they have no Air Force, all bombed out."
  • "Yeah, I do; I heard about that. It's a tough profession, there's no question about it, and we work together on it... We love all of those people, they're great people."
  • "No, I want Israel to be able to protect themselves, but I do want them to use good judgment."
  • "If anybody attacks that man, we're going to be there."
