- Roy Cohn: Rule three: no matter what happens, you claim victory and never admit defeat.
- Donald Trump: I got three rules. OK? They're my three rules of winning. Rule one: the world is a mess, OK? The world is a mess, Tony. You have to fight back. You have to have a tough skin. Attack, attack, attack. If somebody comes after you with a knife, you shoot 'em back with a bazooka. OK? Rule two: what is truth, Tony? What is truth? You know what's truth? What you say is truth, what I say is truth, what he says is truth. What is the truth in life? Deny everything, admit nothing. You know what's true? What I say is true. And third of all, most important, no matter how fucked you are, you never ever ever admit defeat. You always claim victory. Always.

I think that much like the mind, I think America is using very, very little of its potential, I really feel that, but I also feel that it's a country that gets no respect from other countries. None.
