Donald Trump Lit Quotations

That's my attitude on the military. I don't like telling the enemy what I'm doing.

When Putin says good things and when we have a possibility of having a good relationship with Russia.

Can there be allowed - are we allowed to have any more in the military, General, the element of surprise? You know, I would think it would be a good thing. It's called an ancient strength and we don't use it anymore.

I will make certain that our military is the best in the world in both cyber offense and defense and in every other way, by the way, every other way.

We have to have the strongest military by far.

When it comes to the military, we have no choice. We cannot have a depleted military.

There is the issue of security. Countless innocent American lives have been stolen because our politicians have failed in their duty to secure our borders and enforce our laws like they have to be enforced.

We propose to rebuild the key tools of missile defense starting with Navy cruisers that are the foundation of our missile defense capabilities in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.

These new investments in cyber security and the modernization of our military will spur substantial new job creation in the private sector and help create the jobs and technologies of tomorrow. It's what we have to do. America must be the world's dominant technological powerhouse of the twenty-first century, and young Americans - including in our inner cities - should get these new jobs!

I think maybe there's a political reason why Hillary Clinton can't say it, but I really don't believe - in New York City, stop-and-frisk, we had 2,200 murders, and stop-and-frisk brought it down to 500 murders.

The whole country saw how unfit [Hillary Clinton] was at the Townhall , where she refused to take accountability for her failed policies in the Middle East that have produced millions of refugees, unleashed horror of radical Islamic terrorism all over, and made us less safe than ever before.

I am proposing a new foreign policy focused on advancing America's core national interests - so important - promoting regional stability, and producing and easing the tensions within our very troubled world.

As these potential adversaries grow their missile programs, U.S. military facilities in Asia and the Middle East, as well as our allies, are increasingly in range with the United States homeland, and we are really absolutely and potentially being threatened. And within two years, we will absolutely have a real threat. They'll be able to reach us so easily the way it's going right now.

Under Obama-Clinton, our ballistic missile defense capability has been degraded at the very moment in the United States history and its allies we are facing the strongest, most heightened missile threat that we have ever, ever had.

These 10 steps, if rigorously followed and enforced, will accomplish more in a matter of months than our politicians have accomplished on this issue in the last 50 years. It's going to happen.

When politicians talk about immigration reform, they usually mean the following, amnesty, open borders, lower wages.

We have a politically correct military and it's getting more and more politically correct every day. And a lot of the great people don't even understand how it's possible to do that.

We have a president [Barack Obama] that doesn't know what's happening, and when it comes to the military.

We will build our military forces to a level that will be, I believe, stronger than ever before if I become president of the United States.

When these people are going to put billions and billions of dollars into companies, and when they're going to bring $2.5 trillion back from overseas, where they can't bring the money back, because politicians like Secretary [Hillary] Clinton won't allow them to bring the money back, because the taxes are so onerous, and the bureaucratic red tape, so what - is so bad.

We must also ensure that we have the best medical care, education, and support for our military service members and their families, both when they serve and when they return to civilian life.

We will also make it a priority to develop defensive and offensive cyber capabilities at our U.S. Cyber Command and recruit the best and brightest Americans.

All my life I've dealt with politicians. I know politicians better than anybody. And honestly, if you can't deal with a politician, there's something wrong with you.

I like the concept of the penny plan - not for the military because the military we have to build up. But we can save probably in many case more than a penny if you look at it. I mean, the penny plan is a pretty good plan, and it's a pretty simple plan.

I think we're being laughed at all over the world. I think that if you look at our military, we can't beat ISIS, General George Patton, General Douglas MacArthur are spinning in their grave. We can't beat ISIS, okay? I think that our veterans are not taken care of, they're treated worse than illegal immigrants, by the way.

When it comes to security, when it comes to ISIS, when it comes to the military, every single category I`m leading, like, by a lot.

I wasn't a politician. I had no - no - even thought of being a politician. So, nobody even talked to me about the war. Nobody said, should we do the war, should we not? It's not like now, where every day you're being asked questions about things.

I think I have great knowledge of - for military, and I think I have better vision for Syria than a lot of the so-called great military geniuses that are saying how to fight the war with Syria. In my opinion, they're doing just the opposite. Are we going to start World War III over Syria? Are we going to be there for the next 40 years?

In addition, we will improve the Department of Defense's cyber capabilities. A new threat, a new problem, very expensive, and we're not doing very well with cyber.

Accomplishing this missile rebuild and our military retooling will be a 50-state effort. Every state in the union will be able to take part in rebuilding our military and developing technologies of tomorrow. In other words, the workers and the jobs will take place throughout the United States.

I am proudly not a politician.

[We need to ] select immigrants based on their likelihood of success in U.S. society and their ability to be financially self- sufficient.

We will finally complete the biometric entry-exit visa tracking system which we need desperately. For years Congress has required biometric entry-exit visa tracking systems, but it has never been completed. The politicians are all talk, no action, never happens. Never happens.

The fundamental problem with the immigration system in our country is that it serves the needs of wealthy donors, political activists and powerful, powerful politicians. It's all you can do.

To enhance the defense of the other agencies of government, including our law enforcement agencies - so important, they're doing such a great job, by the way - we will put together a team of our best military, civilian and private sector cybersecurity experts to comprehensively review all of our cybersecurity systems and technologies.

I think what`s happening is that you`re seeing change from existing and kind of a left right political paradigm to one that is being made into something different. Maybe an up down paradigm, or something along those lines. It`s a dramatic change. It`s a shift I think of all different in language.

We could say politically correct that look doesn't matter, but the look obviously matters.

I'm very, very so-called conservative on the military. I want a very, very strong military. I want to build up - you know, our military is totally depleted. We're going to care of our vets as part of that whole situation because our vets are not taken care of properly.

I know politicians - I know politicians, believe it or not, better than you [Ted Cruz] do. And it's not good.

The only category I do badly in is my personality. And that`s OK. Who cares? And you know what? You want to know something? I`m a better person than the people I`m running against. I see it.

We won with the military. We won with highly educated, pretty well educated and poorly educated. But we won with everything, tall people, short people, fat people, skinny people just won.

I just said, you can't lie and hold up a Bible. And you can't do that. You just can't do that. It's not appropriate. And I was tough on him on that, because things were said abut me that were not true. And Marco Rubio actually said that he lied. And I have never seen a politician say to another politician that he lied.

Tax is a big expense. And I wouldn't mind paying taxes a lot less if our politicians knew how to spend the money, but they don't. They waste the money.

Well, at least I definitely know the military likes Trump, right? That's great, it's - you're amazing people, are great people and I very much appreciate it.

It is all about keeping her [Hillary Clinton] and her husband [Bill Clinton] as far away from the levers of power as possible. It is all about ending this woman's political career. There are people that are totally devoted to that concept, that premise.

We need heart. We need a lot of things. But you have to have some basic ability. And sadly, Hillary Clinton doesn't have that.

Hillary Clinton has got no business ability.

I have to say that, you know, for what Secretary [Hillary] Clinton was saying about nuclear with Russia, she's very cavalier in the way she talks about various countries. But Russia has been expanding their - they have a much newer capability than we do. We have not been updating from the new standpoint.

They [African-American community] have been abused and used in order to get votes by Democrat politicians, because that's what it is. They've controlled these communities for up to 100 years.

We buy products for our military and they come in at costs that are so far above what they were supposed to be, because we don't have people that know what they're doing.

Once you say you're going to have to tax them coming in, and our politicians never do this, because they have special interests and the special interests want those companies to leave, because in many cases, they own the companies. So what I'm saying is, we can stop them from leaving. We have to stop them from leaving.

Secretary [Hillary] Clinton and others, politicians, should have been doing this for years, not right now, because of the fact that we've created a movement. What's happened to our jobs and our country and our economy generally is - look, we owe $20 trillion. How do you bring back - specifically bring back jobs, American manufacturers? How do you make them bring the jobs back?

We owe $20 trillion, and we're a mess. And we've spent $6 trillion in the Middle East, according to a report that I just saw.And it's politicians like Secretary [Hillary] Clinton that have caused this problem.

We've got to make America strong again. And right now, we are not strong. Believe me. We have a depleted military. We have the greatest people in the world in our military. But it is very sadly depleted.

I think military is a very special thing.

I have great faith in the military. I have great faith in certain of the commanders, certainly. But I have no faith in Hillary Clinton or the leadership.

We have people that are political hacks negotiating our trade deals.

Believe me: The day [Barack] Obama goes off, and he leaves, and goes out to the golf course for the rest of his life to play golf, when they raise interest rates, you're going to see some very bad things happen, because the Fed is not doing their job. The Fed is being more political than Secretary [Hillary] Clinton.

And we have a Fed that's doing political things. This Janet Yellen of the Fed. The Fed is doing political - by keeping the interest rates at this level.

[Hillary Clinton] is typical politician. All talk, no action.

Trump Foundation, small foundation. People contribute, I contribute. The money goes 100 percent - 100 percent goes to different charities, including a lot of military. I don't get anything. I don't buy boats. I don't buy planes.

Our military and the strength of our military and the strengthening of our military is a number one priority for the Trump administration.

We're going to take care of our military - the people in our military, the finest people we have.

I told you about the jet fighters. Well it's like that with so many other things. So we are going to take care of our military.

We have great people, we have a depleted military.

It's a depleted - we have a very depleted military.

This will be one of my most important elements. When I talk cost cutting, I do for so many different departments where the money is pouring and they don't even know what to do with it. But when it comes to the military we have to enhance our military. It's depleted. That's the word I tend to use.

We're running a war by politicians and we're running a war by political correctness as per that question [with ISIS].

If they listen to the military people, we probably wouldn't be having an ISIS right now.

Without you [the military forces], we wouldn't be here. I don't think you've been given the respect that you deserve. I don't think you've been allowed to fight ISIS as an example the way you wanted. I don't think you've been allowed to fight for Iraq the way you've wanted.

The truth is, that the military people are so important to our country.

The truth is I am beholden to no one, nobody's gonna tell me what to do, no - no group that owns a military firm that gives military supplies. Because I know - I've heard the case where often times you wanna buy certain weapons or something and you like one but you get the other one because that one has a contact to our politicians.

Mexican leadership has been doing serious damage to the United States by out-negotiating our representatives and political leaders.

Even if you haven't encountered great success yet, there is no reason you can't bluff a little and act like you have. Confidence is a magnet in the best sense of the word. It will draw people to you and make your daily life.. and theirs.. a lot more pleasant.

The point is that if you are a little different, or a little outrageous, or if you do things that are bold or controversial, the press is going to write about you.

Leaders, true leaders, take responsibility for the success of the team and understand that they must also take responsibility for the failure.

We get our military people to come back and make recommendations to me and I will follow those recommendations. I will follow them very strongly.

We're gonna get away from political correctness .

Copying is the greatest form of flattery, I guess. I am actually a little surprised that Vincent Lo didn't try and make a deal to be on The Apprentice,.

We need law and order in the inner cities, because the people that are most affected by what's happening are African-American and Hispanic people. And it's very unfair to them what our politicians are allowing to happen.

Make an effort to exert yourself-everyday. Don't fail because you never allowed yourself to get started! Don't avoid success because you think the responsibility might be too much-just focus and get going! You'd be surprised at what intelligent effort can produce.

Our military is a disaster.

America's problem is too much political correctness.

We have the greatest people on Earth in our military. We don't take care of our veterans.

I've been dealing with politicians all my life. They are all talk, no action.

Sometimes it pays to be a little wild.

My total focus was on building up our military, building up our strength, building up our borders, making sure that China, Japan, Mexico, both at the border and in trade, no longer takes advantage of our country.

Our leaders are stupid. Our politicians are stupid.

In America, we've had people that are political hacks making the biggest deals in the world, bigger than companies. You take these big companies, these trade deals are far bigger than these companies, and yet we don't use our great leaders, many of whom back me and many of whom back Hillary Clinton, I must say. But we don't use those people.

raise substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern.

When Secretary [Hillary] Clinton talks about this, I mean, I'll take the admirals and I'll take the generals any day over the political hacks that I see that have led our country so brilliantly over the last 10 years with their knowledge. OK? Because look at the mess that we're in.

Politicians are making deals for their benefit. Now we are going to make the deals for the American people.

Our country is in serious trouble. We don't win anymore.We don't beat China in trade. We don't beat Japan, with their millions and millions of cars coming into this country, in trade. We can't beat Mexico, at the border or in trade.We can't do anything right. Our military has to be strengthened. Our vets have to be taken care of. We have to end Obamacare, and we have to make our country great again, and I will do that.

People who think achieving success is a linear A-to-Z process, a straight shot to the top, simply aren't in touch with reality.

There's nobody bigger or better at the military than I am.

We're going to protect Christianity. We don't have to be politically correct about it.

In America, we have a depleted military. It has to be helped, has to be fixed.

I've dealt with politicians my entire life. You never make a bad deal with a politician. They're so easy.

Do you mind if I sit back a little? Because your breath is very bad.

I wish she would be able to take responsibility for her failure.
