You look at what happened to the priest over the weekend in Paris, where his throat was cut, 85-year-old, beloved Catholic priest. You look at what happened in Nice, France, a couple of weeks ago. I would say, you gotta take a look that, because something is going on, and it's not good.

One of the reasons I'm seriously thinking about running for president is that America is not a respected country anymore.

Afghanistan is not like what's happening in Chicago. People are being shot left and right.

[In Mexico] they have a VAT tax. We're on a different system. When we sell into Mexico, there's a tax. When they sell in - automatic, 16 percent, approximately. When they sell into us, there's no tax. It's a defective agreement. It's been defective for a long time, many years, but the politicians haven't done anything about it.

I was a very, very establishment person prior to wanting to run.

Many of my friends and many political experts warned me that this [presidential] campaign would be a journey to hell. Said that. But they're wrong. It will be a journey to heaven, because we will help so many people that are so desperately in need of help.

We're not going to let people die in squalor because we are Republicans.
