← Back to Donald Trump ProfileSpeaking about an unnamed political opponent whose poll numbers declined, Donald Trump rationalized their shift to negative campaigning as a consequence of desperation.
“He was such a nice guy. And he said, Oh, I'm never going to attack. But then his poll numbers tanked. He's got -- that's why he's on the end -- and he got nasty. And he got nasty. So you know what? You can have him.”
Speaking in January 2018, then-President Trump, pictured aboard Air Force One, expressed frustration with U.S. libel laws, wishing for stricter regulations to curb unfettered speech.
“The libel laws are very weak in this country. If they were strong, it would be very helpful. You wouldn't have things like that happen where you can say whatever comes to your head.”
Following Pope Francis's death, Donald Trump expressed a desire to be Pope himself, before mentioning a "very good" cardinal from New York.
“I'd like to be pope. That would be my number one choice. No — I don't know, I have no preference. I must say we have a cardinal that happens to be out of a place called New York who's very good.”
