The American people expect the president of the United States to be prepared to support action to protect the people of this nation. And I know Donald Trump will.

It is not for the State Department or even the Secretary of State to say when and how the resources of the American people will be spent.

No path to citizenship. People that want to gain legal status, you heard Donald Trump say again and again, will have to leave the country.

America's political system is superior to the crony corrupt corrupt capital system in Russia in every way.

President Trump is bringing a very candid - and direct type of leadership to the White House. And in conversations with leaders around the world, frankly, I think they all find it very refreshing.

I think it's what animates our president-elect [Donald Trump] more than anything else, is a belief in the boundless potential of every American to live the American dream.

What you have in President Trump is someone who is willing to, and is, in fact, engaging the world, including Russia, and saying, where can we find common interests that will advance the security of the American people, the peace and prosperity of the world? And he is determined to come at that in a new and renewed way.
