I'm really not a bad person, by the way.

I will say this. We have a situation in this country that has to be taken care of.

I have Carl Icahn ready to go out and do battle. And I have many others that are great negotiators, ready to go out and do battle on our behalf. And by the way, we'll get along better with these countries in the end than we get along with them now. We have, as in the case of China and so many others, they don't even like us and yet they are eating our lunch in trade.

I think maybe my greatest weakness is that I trust people too much. I'm too trusting. And when they let me down, if they let me down, I never forgive. I find it very, very hard to forgive people that deceived me. So I don't know if you would call that a weakness, but my wife said "let up."

Any violation of civil rights will be aggressively pursued and prosecuted by my administration. No one will be above the law.

We have to talk about it to find out what's going ... because the press, honestly, is out of control.

I don't want to be the president of the world. I'm the President of the United States.
