I know my father can make a difference.

If you go to a diner in the middle of America, people are having these conversations, but our politicians are too scared to bring it up because they're worried about offending the 0.002 percent of the country that may somehow be subject to what the conversation may be. And it's ridiculous.

What Donald Trump is going to bring to the table. He's going to bring straight, honest conversation and bring up topics that, while they may be sensitive, they have to be said.

We always speak very bluntly with father [Donald Trump]. But in the end I think the things that he's saying are things that need to be said. They're conversations that need to be had. There conversations that haven't been had.

When you have the opportunity to do something, you have to jump on it.

One of my best friends growing up was gay. ... It’s never been an issue for me. ... I think there was a time in my life, probably in college, that I wished every guy was gay, because it just meant more women for me! ‘I don’t know why you guys have a problem with this thing! I think it’d be great! I wish everyone was gay!’ ... That’s always the way I thought about it. ... I have no issue with it. If I have to suffer through marriage, why shouldn’t they?

My father is a straight- talking guy. He's always been. He has a history of that in business as a personality for the last 35 years.
