I have been involved with this stuff [newspapers, television] all my life, but I'm involved, so I know when you're telling the truth and when you're not.

I don`t know that I`m going to get along with Vladimir Putin. I hope I do. But there`s a good chance I won`t.

Nobody has ever, ever, in the history of politics received the kind of negative advertising that I have. Record, record. By the way mostly false, I wouldn't say 100 percent but about 90 percent. Mostly false, vicious, horrible.

As you have seen, I am being viciously attacked with lies and smears.

You can't be scared. You do your thing, you hold your ground, you stand up tall, and whatever happens, happens.

I just see many, many untruthful things. I see tone, the word tone. The tone is such hatred. I'm really not a bad person, by the way.The tone is such - I do get good ratings, you have to admit that.

In other words, you're taking away your freedom of speech. And they [ministers and priests] started telling me about the Johnson Amendment which really was the first time - and I started studying .And we had a meeting a month later and I said, "We're gonna get rid of the Johnson Amendment because they're stopping you and our great people from talking."
