"STOCK MARKETS ARE CRASHING, JOB NUMBERS ARE TERRIBLE, WE ARE HEADING TO WWIII, AND WE HAVE TWO OF THE MOST INCOMPETENT 'LEADERS' IN HISTORY. THIS IS NOT GOOD!!!"
-- Trump post, August 5, 2024

"No one wants this war to end more than President Zelensky and the Ukrainian people. But it has to end in a way that protects their sovereignty and security. The safety of Ukraine is tied to the safety of the United States, that's why I stand with Ukraine. It's not 'America First' to pull the rug out from under an ally and leave their people to die."
-- Sen. Mark Kelly, combat veteran and former astronaut, who visited Ukraine this weekend

"You are a traitor."
-- Elon Musk

"The president is an exceptionally gifted deal maker. He is probably the only individual in the entire universe that could actually stop this."
-- Sen. Christopher Landau on Ukraine war

"It has been stated by many that the first month of our presidency -- it's our presidency -- is the most successful in the history of our nation. By many. And what makes it even more impressive is that, do you know who number two is? George Washington. How about that?"

"Are you f***ing retarded? I'm actually glad you're printing this bullsh*t though because at least now the rest of the press corps will see how sh*tty your 'sources' are and how easily you're played by them. Congrats, moron."
-- Donald Trump Jr., on Mediaite claim that he is considering running for president in 2028

"Washington under Trump has become Nero's court; an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers, and a jester on ketamine in charge of purging civil service. We were at war with a dictator, Putin, and now we're at war with a dictator supported by a traitor. It is a tragedy for the free world but first and foremost it is a tragedy for the United States!"
-- French Senator Claude Malhuret

"One way or another we're going to get it."
-- Trump, on Greenland

"We care about veterans tremendously. That's something the president has always cared about. But at the same time, we have... a fiscal responsibility to use taxpayer dollars to pay people that actually work...Perhaps they're not fit to have a job at this moment, or not willing to come to work."
-- Trump adviser Alina Habba, on 6,000 fired veterans

"The new [Trump] administration is rapidly changing all foreign policy configurations. This largely aligns with our vision."
-- Putin press secretary Dmitry Peskov

"I agree."
-- Elon Musk, responding to post: "It's time to leave NATO and the UN"

-- Tulsi Gabbard, Director of National Intelligence
