Let's start with protecting taxpayers and making sure we have more fairness in the system.

When a new president comes in, a new president gets to clean house.

When you're the presidential nominee you get to pick whomever you choose to be on the ticket, and that person gets to say yes or no because, obviously, it's a very important decision.

I always believed you could learn something from nearly everybody you meet, if you're open to it.

Asking Saudi Arabia and Iran to work together, when they can't stand each other and are engaged in a proxy battle right at this moment.

A lot of the people in history who I really admire lived before the hyperinformation age we're living in. Even if they were governing or solving problems in consequential periods, like the Civil War or the world wars or the Great Depression or the Cold War, they had a period of time and space to actually think, to be private and you read their biographies, and they had time to think about what was happening and how to respond. I don't think human nature has changed in the last 50-150 years, but the stresses, the demands on those of us in public life have just exploded.

I am all about new beginnings. A new grandchild, another new hairstyle, a new email account. Why not a new relationship with the press?
