In a democracy, someone who fails to get elected to office can always console himself with the thought that there was something not quite fair about it. Thucydides, The History of the Peloponnesian War
He is a faker. He has no consistency about him. He says whatever comes into his head at the moment. He really has an ego … How has he gotten away with not turning over his tax returns? The press seems to be very gentle with him on that. Ruth Bader Ginsburg, cited CNN 13 July 2006
Anyway, now they’re trying to impeach him [Trump]: which I think is some sort of skin treatment to make him the right colour again. Cunk & Other Humans III, BBC 2019
… There’s jobs that did count in there like Trump … Fear City: New York vs the Mafia s1e3: Judgment Day, Mafia gangsta on surveillance tape, Netflix 2020
His proudly proclaimed racism and misogyny, his cosmic ignorance, his chilling nationalism, his blatant nepotism, his tax paying, his bullying, sheer nastiness, his complete lack of generosity, his success in turning America into a pariah state, he has launched on an undeserving world a leatherette-faced consigliere called Kelly Ann. Jonathan Meades on Jargon: More Than You Ever Wanted to Know ***** BBC 2019

I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn’t lose any voters, OK? It’s, like, incredible. Donald Trump, 23rd January 2016 to laughing audience
I don’t like firing people. It’s not a pleasant thing and it's sad … In some cases, it’s a terrible, terrible situation for the person who gets fired, how strongly they take it. So it’s not something that any rational or sane person can love doing, but it also happens to be a fact of life in business. Donald Trump, cited Boston Herald 7th January 2004 & Lawrence ‘According to Trump’
If I were to run, I’d run as a Republican. They’re the dumbest group of voters in the country. They believe anything on Fox News. I could lie and they’d still eat it up. I bet my numbers would be terrific. Donald Trump, article People magazine
I’m gonna be dating her in ten years. Donald Trump, CBS news, re ten year old girl
I’m the most successful person ever to run for the presidency, by far. Nobody’s ever been more successful than me. I’m the most successful person ever to run. Donald Trump, cited Des Moines Register 2015
I’m intelligent. Some people would say I’m very very very intelligent. Donald Trump

I’ve really tried to stay away from them [Mafia] as much as possible … Very nice people … You just don’t want to owe them money. Donald Trump, television interview 2019
I would bomb the shit out of ’em. Donald Trump, cited A Very Heavy Agenda
My life is seeing everything in terms of How would I handle that? Look at the war in Iraq and the mess that we’re in. I would never have handled it that way. Does anybody really believe that Iraq is going to be a wonderful democracy where people are going to run down to the voting box and gently put in their ballot and the winner is happily going to step up to lead the county? C’mon. Two minutes after we leave, there’s going to be a revolution, and the meanest, toughest, smartest, most vicious guy will take over. And he’ll have weapons of mass destruction, which Saddam didn’t have. What was the purpose of this whole thing? Hundreds and hundreds of young people killed. And what about the people coming back with no arms and legs? Not to mention the other side. All those Iraqi kids who’ve been blown to pieces. And it turns out that all of the reasons for the war were blatantly wrong. All this for nothing! Donald Trump, Esquire magazine August 2004
My philosophy is always to hire the best from the best. Donald Trump, Trump: The Art of the Deal 1987
I like thinking big. I always have. To me it’s very simple: if you’re going to be thinking anyway, you might as well think big. Most people think small, because most people are afraid of success, afraid of making decisions, afraid of winning. And that gives people like me a great advantage. ibid.
I wasn’t satisfied just to earn a good living. I was looking to make a statement. ibid.
The point is that you can’t be too greedy. ibid.
Money was never a big motivation for me, except as a way to keep score. The real excitement is playing the game. ibid.
No nation is more prepared or more resilient than the United States. The virus will not have a chance against us. We are all in this together. Donald Trump, cited Pandemic 2020 II: The Great Divide
