Trump, on having successfully remembered the five-word sequence "hat, hair, logo, white, black" during a cognitive test:

"They go, 'Holy shit! Nobody can do that!' They say very few people can do it, but almost none can do them in order like that. But I can. You know why? Because I'm a freaking genius, that's why."

Rep. Dan Sullivan on Putin:
"A dictator, an authoritarian, a mafia regime leader."....

Trump in response:
"I have to make deals with people, so I don't go around calling them names... I don't go around mocking people. You know, part of the reason you have [the Iran war] in the first place is Biden went around mocking Russia and mocking everybody else and didn't know what he was doing."....

"Could you imagine, 15, 20 years ago, I'd be up here saying, 'We will not mutilize your children.' The transgender mutilization of your children. You know, in six states they're crazy what they do. They take your kid away, they send them him or her back. You don't even know what you're getting. It's the craziest thing."
-- Trump

Rep. Jim Jordan:
"Gas prices were coming down until we did have to deal with this situation, but, but that's life."

CNN's Kaitlyn Collins:
"But if someone was paying $2.98 a gallon before the war, and now they're paying $4.53, saying 'that's life' might not make them feel better."

Jordan: "Those are your words, not mine."

Collins: "You said 'that's life.' I was just quoting what you said a second ago.

"I could say the stupidest things and you'd clap, you know: 'I love you so much!'"
-- Trump, at rally
