...maybe sometimes, you haven’t gotten the backing that you’ve wanted. And you’re going to get so much backing. Maybe you’re going to say “please don’t give us so much backing. Mr President, please, we don’t need that much backing”.
...I’m a person that very strongly believes in academics. In fact, every time I say, I had an uncle who was a great professor at MIT for 35 years, who did a fantastic job in so many different ways academically. He was an academic genius. And then they say: “is Donald Trump an intellectual?” Trust me. I’m like a smart person.
...I wasn’t a fan of Iraq. I didn’t want to go into Iraq. But I will tell you. When we were in, we got out wrong.
And I always said: “In addition to that, keep the oil”. ... So we should have kept the oil. But okay. [laughter] Maybe we’ll have another chance."
