I just have to tell you that the provocations by Russia need to be met with American strength. And if Russia chooses to be involved and continue, I should say, to be involved in this barbaric attack on civilians in Aleppo, the United States of America should be prepared to use military force to strike military targets of the Assad regime to prevent them from this humanitarian crisis that is taking place in Aleppo.

Why would there be any contacts with Russian between the presidential campaign? This is all a distraction, and it's all part of a narrative to delegitimize the election and to question the legitimacy of this presidency. The American people see right through it.

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

I would suggest to you, what we need to do is assert a stronger leadership at the national level to support law enforcement.

I've had more than a few battles with a Republican president. ... I am not immune [to] disagreeing with people who otherwise I support.

Donald Trump has got a big heart. He loves his family, he loves America.

I think I would always tell school kids that, you know, they'd say, "When did you get interested in politics?" I said, "Just very young." Maybe it was because President [J.F.] Kennedy was the first Irish-Catholic president."
