Well, I agree with you about your country, and I look forward to it. When I owned Miss Universe, they always had great people. Ukraine was always very well represented. When you’re settled in and ready, I’d like to invite you to the White House.—Trump to Ukrainian President Zelenskyy

Don't confuse me with the facts. I've got a closed mind. I will not vote for impeachment. I'm going to stick with my president even if he and I have to be taken out of this building and shot.—Congressman Landgrebe (R-IN), the day before Nixon resigned

The Trump Foundation has shut down, funds that were illegally misused are being restored, the president will be subject to ongoing supervision by my office, and the Trump children had to undergo compulsory training to ensure this type of illegal activity never takes place again.—Letitia James, NY Attorney General

I am absolutely appalled that the United States is going to betray those democratic forces in northern Syria. The president, who allowed Khashoggi to be cut in pieces without any repercussions whatsoever, is now allowing the Christians and the Kurds to be massacred by the Turks. The President of the United States is in danger of losing the mandate of heaven if he permits this to happen.—Pat Robertson, Evangelical Leader and Trump Supporter

We must always have the backs of our allies, if we expect them to have our back. The Kurds were instrumental in our successful fight against ISIS in Syria. Leaving them to die is a big mistake. —Former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley

Some of the stories that have inspired me the most this year … The young Iranian woman who eventually set herself on fire because she wasn't able to go to the game … Those are all the stories that inspire me so much, but they also admittedly make me a little bit sad and a little bit disappointed. —Megan Rapinoe, FIFA Women Player of the Year

We are ready to help Saudi Arabia protect their people. They need to make clever decisions, as Iran did by buying our S300, as Mr. Erdogan did by deciding to buy the most advanced S400 air defense systems. These kinds of systems are capable of defending any kind of infrastructure in Saudi Arabia from any kind of attack.—Vladimir Putin

Having failed at piracy, the US resorts to outright blackmail—deliver us Iran’s oil and receive several million dollars or be sanctioned yourself. Sounds very similar to the Oval Office invitation I received a few weeks back. It is becoming a pattern.—Javad Zarif on US Cash Offer to Tanker Captain

I think Iran is a country of tremendous potential. We’re not looking for leadership change. We’re not looking for that kind of change. This country has been through that many times before, that doesn’t work. We’re looking for no nuclear weapons, no ballistic missiles and a longer period of time, very simple and have it done in a short period of time and I believe that Iran can be a great nation. —Trump at G7

When I went to Dayton and when I went to El Paso, and I went into those hospitals, the love for me – and ‘me’ maybe as the representative of the country – but for me, and my love for them was unparalleled … Not only did they meet with me, they were pouring out of the rooms. The doctors were coming out of the operating rooms. There were hundreds and hundreds of people all over the floor.—Donald Trump
