I am proudly not a politician, because I am not behold to any special interest.

Regardless of recommendation, I was going to fire James Comey, knowing there was no good time to do it. And, in fact, when I decided to just do it, I said to myself, I said, you know, this Russia thing with Trump and Russia is a made up story. It's an excuse by the Democrats for having lost an election that they should have won.

You go to other countries and you look at industries they have, and you say, let me see your regulations, and they're a fraction, just a tiny fraction of what we have.

We either have a country or we don't. America is a country of laws. We either have a border or we don't.

I really believe that fact that I have such power in terms of numbers with Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, et cetera, I think it helped me win all of these races where others spending much more money than I spent. You know, I spent my money. A lot of my money. And I won. I think that social media has more power than the money others spent, and I think maybe to a certain extent, I proved that.

I don't want to have thousands of people shot in a city where, essentially, I'm the president.

If I'm president, we're not going to have people dying on the streets. I don't call it a mandate, I just say it's common sense.
