stuff trump said: Now that the Democrats are using the Epstein Hoax, involving Democrats, not Republicans, to try and deflect from their disastrous SHUTDOWN, and all of their other failures, I will be asking A.G. Pam Bondi, and the Department of Justice, together with our great patriots at the FBI, to investigate Jeffrey Epstein’s involvement and relationship with Bill Clinton, Larry Summers, Reid Hoffman, J.P. Morgan, Chase, and many other people and institutions, to determine what was going on with them, and him," he wrote. "This is another Russia, Russia, Russia Scam, with all arrows pointing to the Democrats. Records show that these men, and many others, spent large portions of their life with Epstein, and on his “Island.” Stay tuned!!!"

You go back, I guess, 18 years, 10,000– think of this, out of 10,000 people, okay? Ten thousand people, and I’ll go it a little different way, right now, out of 10,000 people, 18 people don’t have– they’re safe. Eighteen people.

stuff trump said: Because you have some of -- look, you know this, you have some of these socialist wackos, they want to double and triple your taxes, and that won't come close to paying for it. They want to knock down all buildings in Manhattan and rebuild them without windows, you know about that, yeah? Let's rebuild them, glass is no good. We don't want windows, I used to love the view, but I think we'll all be forced to close up windows. No, it's crazy what they're saying, so many different things.

stuff trump said: "The Continental Army suffered a bitter winter of Valley Forge, found glory across the waters of the Delaware, and seized victory from Cornwallis of Yorktown. Our army manned the air, it rammed the ramparts, it took over the airports, it did everything it had to do. And at Fort McHenry, under the rockets' red glare, it had nothing but victory. And when dawn came, their Star Spangled Banner waved defiant."

stuff trump said: Comey was one of the people, he wasn’t the biggest, but he’s a dirty cop, he’s always been a dirty, everybody knew it. And it’s, you know, as far as the case is concerned. He gave an answer, it was a strong answer. He then verified it a couple of times, because that was a very important answer.If he would have equivocated, if he would’ve been a little bit less sure, that would have been very bad for him. So he gave an an answer.

stuff trump said: Beautiful paper, the gorgeous paper," I said, throw a little more gold on it. They deserve it. "Give me — I want the A paper, not the D paper," he continued. "We used to sign a piece of garbage. I said, This man is going to be a general, right? Yeah." "I don't want to use this," he said. "I want to use the big, beautiful, firm paper. I want to use the real gold writing when you talk about the position. And they're beautiful. And — but how would you like to have that?"
