Watters: I was walking in my street, a car drives by and I give him a wave. He rolls down the window and says, “F U fascist.” He doesn’t know I’m a fascist!

I'm sure they can work with Europe and China to fill the gap. Everyone is looking to make deals without us and this will hurt us for generations
Gee, can someone remind me who is responsible for this antagonism?
Greer: "The thing to keep in mind with Canada is this is a country that's 75% dependent on the United States for its gross domestic product ... it can't be a situation where the Canadians have an antagonistic relationship"

Just hopped off a phone call with my grandmother. And she said something that I’m going to carry with me today: “God doesn’t care about how much people talk about you, but He does care about how often you talk for people who can’t.”

NBC editing out the booing of JD Vance is a disgrace. It’s an international event. Americans have the right to know what the world is saying. NBC has bowed down to Trump.

Even if he was giving it to charity, and it would more likely be a stripper named Charity than actual charity, it's still not right that the American people pay for it.
“Is it fair to ask the American people to pay for that?”
TRUMP: “I’m giving 100% to charity.”
P.S. - No he isn’t
P.P.S. - He thinks we are all idiots
