-- Trump

"I have a big decision to make. Will a deal be made with Iran that lets them rebuild and create a far greater country than it ever was before? Or do I annihilate the Islamic Republic and do it quickly, never giving them a chance to kill and destroy people and countries again? Do I drive them into hell with no chance of survival and hope for future generations? But I believe we'll make a deal..."
-- Trump, in speech at UN

It's one-sided, it's never good. I don't think somebody should be able to come in and write fake stories...You get sick of it."
-- Trump, announcing he is banning CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from the White House, effective immediately
