“[…] 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.

Qualcuno mi smentisca e io cambierò idea.”

“I believe we have this enormous brains with the ability to process so much information for a purpose – because we were made in God's image, not in the image of an amoeba.”
