ON LOBSTERS: “You had to go to Japan to get a Maine lobster. You believe it? You had to go to Canada to get a Maine lobster. They were fishing there. Not only that, you had to go a day and a half in a boat, and they had you at three knots. That means, like, essentially, little bit different than three miles an hour, but it means slow.”
ON ELECTRIC BATTERIES: “These people are crazy. And the new thing they had was you had to an electric boat, even though they didn’t work. And even though once you got out there, you had a problem because you couldn’t get back because they didn’t charge long enough.
“And the other problem is the electric battery is much heavier, as you know. So the boat has a tendency to sink. And they were forced — you know, by 2030 or so, you were forced to have an electric boat. I don’t think you were too happy with that, right?”
ON FISHER…PEOPLE: “It’s fishermen and fisherwomen. So tell me, how do they define that? Because in most industries, like you policemen, policemen, you call them fishermen and fisherwomen. I haven’t heard of that one before. Are we — how are the women? Do they want to be designated as fisherwomen? Does anybody want to answer that question? They’ll take fishermen. Yes, I said fishermen, fisherwomen, and that’s right. Or if you want to be politically correct, sometimes they use the term Fisher. But I like Fisherman or Fisherwoman myself. How about Fisherpeople? These people are crazy.”
ON IRAN: “We’ve been taking out many ships that nobody knew. Not even the fake news knew it. Quietly at night. We bombed their radar and everything so they couldn’t see. We took out night some nights 25 ships, some nights 15, the last four or five we did 25, 22, 21, 26, 18, and 14. Who else would remember those numbers? Nobody.”
ON THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ: “The strait is open. But the straits have been open for a number of months already, and you just didn’t know about it. You you, as reporters, weren’t able to get it. I just announced yesterday that we brought a lot of ships through, and nobody knew about it.”
ON WORKING: “Guys like me built the country. I watch all these ingrates, they’re always complaining, complaining. They didn’t build anything, they couldn’t build anything. Look at what’s happened in Minnesota. Somalia.”
ON JOHN THUNE: “John Thune’s a good man. He was a loyal worker for Mitch McConnell. He worked for Mitch McConnell. He worked very hard. He was very loyal to him. I disagreed with him a lot because Mitch McConnell gave so much money to Democrats. He gave them money. I had to go get the wall money from the military. I just took it out of the military because that guy wouldn’t do anything. He gave it. No, Mitch McConnell’s a bad guy. And he’s an — I thought he was lousy at his job. Lousy at his job. But when they give him, the only thing, they give him a lot of credit for judges, but I’m the one that got the judges. You know why? I won the election. If I didn’t win the election, he wouldn’t have had any judges.”
