“[…] ho fatto conoscenza con Donald Trump durante gli ultimi anni. In realtà è un uomo molto intelligente che ha davvero a cuore l'America. Ci sono due Donald Trump discordanti. C'è quello che si vede sul palco e c'è quello che è piuttosto cerebrale, si siede a fare considerazioni con molta attenzione. Si può avere una buona conversazione con lui, ed è il Donald Trump che vedrete sempre più spesso.”

E ho scoperto che no, la sharia è immutabile, oggi come mille anni fa. Questo è in contrasto con i diritti delle donne, dei bambini, dei gay e di tutte le persone libere. Qualcuno mi smentisca e io cambierò idea.”

“I find the big bang, really quite fascinating. I mean, here you have all these highfalutin scientists and they’re saying it was this gigantic explosion and everything came into perfect order.”
