That is why my administration has demanded that all members of NATO finally meet their full and fair financial obligation.

But billions and billions of dollars more coming in from countries that, in my opinion, would not have been paying so quickly.

I have nothing to do with Putin. I've never spoken to him. I don't know anything about him other than he will respect me.

We are not talking about isolation. We're talking about security. We're not talking about religion. We're talking about security. Our country is out of control. People are pouring across the southern border. I will build a wall. It will be a great wall. People will not come in unless they come in legally. Drugs will not pour through that wall.

I will make certain that our military is the best in the world in both cyber offense and defense and in every other way, by the way. Every other way.
