As a presidential candidate, Donald Trump promised to ‘fix the rigged system.’ By ‘fix,’ he apparently meant rigging it to permanently benefit billionaires like himself.
In 2007, Donald Trump spent $20,000 that belonged to his charity – the Donald J. Trump Foundation – to buy a six-foot-tall portrait of himself during a fundraiser auction at his Mar-a-Lago Club in Florida.
I see a lot of parallels between my father and Donald Trump.
I am pleased to endorse Donald Trump for the presidency of the United States.
I’ve sat down with Donald Trump in an hour-and-a-half-long meeting with several of the representatives; he was very engaging. He listened to our concerns and our thoughts. I find him very parental.
I don’t think he has a real concept of reality. To stand by some of the things that Donald Trump has said and for Mike Pence to say he’s a devout Christian man is completely contradictory.
‘A Burglar’s Guide to the City’ makes disparate connections seem obvious in hindsight, and my worldview is altered a little bit more, and far for the better, as a result. We’ll never know, but I suspect Donald Westlake would have enjoyed it – and perhaps been a little unsettled by it, too.
For me, Mr. T and Donald Trump are the same sort of phenomenon – they’re guys with catchphrases and wacky hair.
I’d tell you whose brand was tainted is Donald Trump. I mean, this guy was tainted every kind of way you could imagine. I mean, no way in the world that Donald Trump is a champion of working people.
I promise you, I promise you that Donald Trump knows, Donald Trump knows that the primary role of the president is to keep us safe.
For me, Melania represents America. We’re all reluctantly married to Donald Trump now. She is a vehicle to making fun of him. I can’t do a Donald Trump impersonation, but I can impersonate her.
At 21, my career took a comedic turn when I was cast in a new Broadway play called ‘Brooklyn Boy,’ by Donald Margulies, which was equal parts funny and sad. I realized that the more seriously I expressed my character’s feelings, the funnier the scene became.
Blondness is a core Trump-family value: Both Donald Jr. and Eric got the memo and married blondes.
We get so many requests like, ‘We want behind-the-scenes access,’ or ‘We’re going to show people what it’s really like to be on the campaign with Donald Trump.’ But there is just no way that a camera or an episode or a documentary could capture what has gone on.
Donald Trump begins his political career in birtherism. That idea is connected to a very, very old notion that African-Americans are not citizens.
Donald Trump has fundamentally realigned American politics. It’s time the media acknowledge this and give him the credit he deserves.
Once a decade, once every eight years, Donald Trump finds some pretext to say I suck and that I’m bad.
All in all, Donald Trump appeals to people who want to be seen the way that Donald Trump sees them.
I don’t believe that all folks who supported Donald Trump are racist. I think that there was a lot of economic anxiety, there was a lot of economic panic. A lot of deep-rooted economic insecurity. I think what Trump did, you know, very astutely, was he tapped into this vein, and he promised them a job.
Believe me, if Donald Trump didn’t have some point that he’s making, hitting home with people, he could not have come this far – as much as a showman as he may be.
I was incredibly – I’ve never been more confident of anything in my life that Hillary Clinton was going to win and Donald Trump would lose by a very large margin.
The queue of activists, interest groups, and ordinary people wringing their hands over what a President Donald Trump might do in office is long, and environmentalists are at the front of the line.
Donald Trump is about the rise of right-wing extremism, not only in this country, but in Europe.
Donald Trump was sharp; he was very perceptive. He was engaging. He had this expansive vocabulary, and he very seldom took breaks.
It’s too easy to dismiss Donald Trump as a buffoon – to point and laugh at a man whose worldview is as ridiculous as his hairdo. But to do so is to make light of a very serious threat.
This is how the Russians have operated for years – they get the goods on people and then they can get you to do what they want. This is how someone like Donald Trump could be turned into a Russian asset.
Donald Trump is a dream for business people like me. I think Trump’s going to make pharma great again.
When I think about moguls, I think like Donald Trump who… owns NYC practically. That’s a mogul. I feel like I’m on my way to a lot more, but mogul is a really serious thing. I think it’s a word that gets thrown around easily.
I am going out there working hard every day making sure people know that my vision is a compelling one for my country, that I have the experience and that I can win against Donald Trump.
Giving money doesn’t make you an insider. If that’s considered being an insider, I guess Donald Trump is an insider. That doesn’t make sense.
I am highly distressed and offended by what Donald Trump has been saying, and I don’t think his nomination is good for the country. I think he would be a terrible president and terrible for our country.
I was on stage last night, and I gave a medical report about Donald Trump. I said he was hospitalized for an attack of modesty.
Winning ‘The Apprentice’ changed my life in ways I could never have imagined. It has been an amazing experience working for Donald Trump and I am very grateful for the whole opportunity.
Donald Trump was really cool. I think a lot of people don’t understand him. He brings so much media attention to anything he does. He’s a proven success. I think people should listen to what he says a little more than focusing on hair.
What people don’t realize about Donald Trump – and I don’t even know if Donald Trump realizes it – is that every tweet he unleashes against you… creates such a crescendo of anger.
I am far from the first to conclude that Donald Trump lacks the temperament to be president.
I was a Republican before Donald Trump was a Republican. I was a Republican when Donald Trump was a Democrat. I was a Republican when Donald Trump was an independent. And I’m going to be a Republican when Donald Trump gets tired of being a Republican.
I will not be silenced. I will not be intimidated. I’m not going to be bullied by Donald Trump.
Listen, the guy was not created by coverage from MSNBC and CNN. If you want to blame us for making Donald Trump president because you’re unhappy about it, I think you are deluding yourself. Donald Trump hit a nerve.
I am solidly, 100 percent behind Donald Trump.
Now not every policy Donald Trump has floated is bad. He wants to repeal and replace Obamacare. He wants to bring jobs home from China and Japan. But his prescriptions to do these things are flimsy at best.
The fact of the matter, it’s that Trump is getting money from blue-collar workers who send him checks for $250. Why? Who is Donald Trump? It’s not who he is, it’s who he isn’t. Not what he is for, what he is against – that is, everything Washington is doing.
Women face a very, very difficult time when they run for higher elected office, unfortunately, especially against a guy like Donald Trump.
When I was nine years old I use to copy – not trace – the covers of the Donald Duck comics. Many years later I became a close friend of Jack Hannah, the director of the Donald Duck film shorts.
An ideal movie would be, like – to get this to happen, I have to work so much harder – but imagine Denzel Washington, Laurence Fishburne, Jamie Foxx, Eddie Murphy… Who else? Donald Faison. Directed by Steven Spielberg. That would be awesome.
Geeks run the world. Condoleezza Rice is a geek, Bill Gates is clearly a geek, many of the big filmmakers and writers are geeks, lots of military people are geeks. Anyone who has heard Donald Rumsfeld talk about military hardware knows they are in the presence of a geek.
Donald Trump is not some great man of virtue, but this much I’ll say for him: I think he loves America, and I don’t think he wants to line his own pockets.
Pretend you’re a southern sheriff. Or Mae West. Or Donald Duck. Buy a western hat and walk around the house like a cowboy. The point of all this, of course, is to draw yourself out of your accustomed groove.
You know why I’m running for governor? Because everything we care about is under siege from President Donald Trump and Bruce Rauner.
Long before Donald Trump came down the escalator, Kanye West was public enemy No. 1 for simply trying to tell the truth to people about things that were going on, so I’m unsurprised that he supports me and my ideas and me just thinking freely.
Under Donald Trump, our deals will be smarter, our soldiers will have what they need, and our veterans will have what they earned. We will secure our borders, protect our nation. In all this, we will be more serious. And when we do, this nation will start winning again.
If you add up all the promises any politician makes, the math doesn’t work. Hillary Clinton’s math doesn’t work; Donald’s math probably doesn’t work. I think you have to listen to their campaign pitches more as symbolic, more as metaphors.
I would never make fun of anyone who is obviously disabled who cannot defend himself, like Donald Trump.
