Trump says US troops could be on the ground in Nigeria and says, "they're killing record numbers of Christians in Nigeria, and they have other countries also. You know that. That part of the world. Very bad. They're killing the Christians and killing them in very large numbers. Not gonna allow that"
Trump: "Sometimes you have to let it fight out. And they're fighting. And they're fighting it out. And it's been a tough war for Putin. And it's been tough for Ukraine. It's been tough for both. Sometimes you have to let it, you know, just get fought out. I've settled eight wars."

Trump on Mamdani: "I think I'm a much better looking person than him, right? It's gonna be hard for me as the president to give a lot of money to New York, because if you have a communist running New York, all you're doing is wasting the money you're sending there."

Mike Johnson talks about the Republican "healthcare plan" like it's highly classified information: "We're not gonna be on a conference call explaining all our plans and strategies for healthcare reform, because they're leaked in real time."
