“The United States [of America] needs Greenland for the purpose of National Security. (…) NATO should be leading the way for us to get it (…) [and] becomes far more formidable and effective with Greenland in the hands of the United States [of America]. Anything less than that is unacceptable” — DT,  14 Jan. 2026

“Yeah, there is one [limit to my ability to use American military might]. My own morality. My own mind. It’s the only thing that can stop me. I don’t need international law.” — DT,  08 Jan. 2026

“We have subsidized Denmark, and all of the Countries of the European Union, and others, for many years by not charging them Tariffs, or any other forms of remuneration. Now, after Centuries [sic], it is time for Denmark to give back — World Peace is at stake!” — DT,  17 Jan. 2026

“Considering your Country decided [sic] not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS [sic bis], I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the US. Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a “right of ownership” anyway? There are no written documents, it’s only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there, also. I have done more for NATO than any other person since its founding, and now, NATO should do something for the United States. The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland” — DT, 19 Jan. 2026

“Record Cold Wave expected to hit 40 States. Rarely seen anything like it before. Could the Environmental Insurrectionists please explain – whatever happened to global warming?” – DT, 23 Jan 2026

“I personally asked President Putin not to fire into Kyiv and the various towns for a week, and he agreed to do that. It was very nice. A lot of people almost didn’t believe it, but they were very happy about it because they are struggling badly.” – DT, 29 Jan 2026

“Because of other countries testing programs, I have instructed the Department of War to start testing our Nuclear Weapons on an equal basis” — DT,  30 Oct. 2025

“The Green New Scam would have killed America if President Trump had not been elected to implement his commonsense energy agenda – which is focused on utilizing the liquid gold under our feet to strengthen our grid stability and drive down costs for American families and businesses” — Taylor Rogers, White House spokeswoman, 31 Oct

“It’s not that I want [Chinese national students], but I view it as a business. [Draconian cuts to hiring international students could] destroy our entire university and college system.” — DT,  17 Nov. 2025

“The president being frank and open and honest to your faces [by cutting off Catherine Lucey by `Quiet, piggy!´], rather than hiding behind your backs, is, frankly, a lot more respectful than what you saw in the last administration.” — Karoline Leavitt, press secretary, 18 Nov 2025

“You’re mentioning someone [Jamal Khashoggi] that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn’t like that gentleman that you’re talking about. Whether you like him or didn’t like him, things happen. But [Mohammed bin Salman] knew nothing about it. You don’t have to embarrass our guests.” — DT,  19 Nov. 2025

“Do you think the French [students in the US] are better [wrt spying and stealing intellectual property], really?… I’m not so sure” — DT,  10 Nov. 2025

“The writer of the [New York Time] story, Katie Rogers, who is assigned to write only bad things about me, is a third rate reporter who is ugly, both inside and out,”— DT, 26 Nov. 2025

“[The 13 grant recipients assessing an alleged link between vaccines and autism] have to move quickly. They, they – when the alternative is that nothing bad can happen, let’s do it now. I was just saying to Bobby [Kennedy] and the group, let’s do it now. Nothing bad can happen, it can only good happen.” – DT, 22 Sept 2025

“Some of the highest quality 24 Karat Gold used in the Oval Office and Cabinet Room of the White House. Foreign Leaders, and everyone else, ‘freak out’ when they see the quality and beauty. Best Oval Office ever, in terms of success and look!!! President DJT” – DT, 28 Sept 2025

“I told Pete, we should use some of these dangerous [U.S.] cities as training grounds for our military … the ones that are run by the radical-left Democrats … And this is going to be a major part for some of the people in this room. That’s a war, too. It’s a war from within.” – DT, 30 Sept 2025

“No more identity months, DEI offices, dudes in dresses. No more climate change worship. No more division, distraction or gender delusions. No more debris. As I’ve said before and will say again, we are done with that shit. “ – Peter Hogseth, 230 Sept 2025

“Columbus Day — we’re back, Italians (…) Under my leadership, those days [of exposing the tragic consequences of Columbus’ arrival] are finally over — and our Nation will now abide by a simple truth: Christopher Columbus was a true American hero, and every citizen is eternally indebted to his relentless determination.” DT – 8 Oct 2025

“For years, those on the radical left have compared wonderful Americans like Charlie to Nazis and the world’s worst mass murderers and criminals. This kind of rhetoric is directly responsible for the terrorism that we’re seeing in our country today, and it must stop right now (…) From the attack on my life in Butler, Pennsylvania, last year, which killed a husband and father, to the attacks on ICE agents, to the vicious murder of a health-care executive in the streets of New York, to the shooting of House Majority Leader Steve Scalise and three others, radical-left political violence has hurt too many innocent people and taken too many lives.” – DT, 10 Sept 2024

“The radicals on the right oftentimes are radical because they don’t want to see crime. The radicals on the left are the problem and they’re vicious and they’re horrible and they’re politically savvy. They want men in women’s sports, they want transgender people, they want open borders. The worst thing that happened to this country.” – DT, 12 Sept 2025

“There’s so much violence on the left, with our friend Charlie Kirk getting murdered in cold blood this week and people on the left celebrating it openly. The left is the party of murder and celebrating murder.” – Elon Musk, 12 Sept 2025
