ON CHINA: 'We're supposed to have free trade. It's a lot of crap. ... I would tax China, big-league. And I hope they don't behave.'

ON BOEING: 'How 'bout Boeing, where they take all their technology? I love Boeing, and you love Boeing. Boeing is great. I happen to own a Boeing.'

ON IRAN NUCLEAR TALKS: 'This deal with Iran is a disaster. I wrote a book called "The Art of the Deal," which I think everyone in this room has read. Except for the people who are negotiating for us. They're babies.'

ON GENDER EQUALITY IN THE FAR EAST: 'What you do is, you go in and you say, "Fellas!" Now, in all fairness to the ladies, they're all fellas on the other side. They haven't figured out that the ladies are smarter than the men. They haven't. In about 150 years they'll figure that out.'

ON CLIMATE CHANGE: 'Obama talks about global warming as if it's the biggest problem we have in the whole world! Tell Tom Brady, who had 12 feet of snow in front of his house in Boston, about global warming. He can't get out! Then they'll say, "Oh, but that's local." ... They had global warming. That didn't work. It got too cold. It's true. They then had climate change. That wasn't going great. But now they came up with a beauty: extreme weather. Did you ever notice? That's the new word.'

ON BERGDAHL'S FATHER: 'When I saw his father standing with Obama, I said "Whoa! Whoa whoa whoa! I love the guys at Duck Dynasty. They stay at my luxury hotels. But this did not look like Duck Dynasty, guys".'

ON SUPER PACS: 'I don't need PACs. I use my own money.'

ON POLITICAL JOURNALISTS: 'I have the biggest crowds, I get the biggest standing ovations, and then I read these sleaze-bag reporters. And they say, "Donald Trump had a smattering of applause." A smattering -- and they'll say about some guy that's a loser politician that's up and nobody's even watching him, "He gave a brilliant speech!" They're very dishonest.'

ON AMERICA'S SOUTHERN BORDER: 'Mexico will not be taking advantage of us. They will not be having open borders. And the greatest builder is me. And I would build the greatest wall you have ever seen. The greatest. And just to finish, you know who's going to pay for the wall? Mexico. With all the money that they have taken from us.'
