On audio tapes that have emerged with President Trump talking to his attorney Michael Cohen:

“For any other president, a tape like this — on which we hear his voice, his married voice, suggesting that his lawyer pay a Playboy bunny $150,000 in cash to keep her quiet — for any other president, there would be an address to the nation tonight. He would be sitting at a desk, arms folded, serious face. He’d apologize to his wife, his family, possibly Jesus, I don’t know. We might even have to get Barbara Walters involved. But for this president, there’s no statement. For him? Just Wednesday.”

On former FBI director James Comey who said on Twitter this week that the Democratic Party should not move leftward:

“Really, James Comey? You’re worried the Democrats are going to move too far to the left? Really? I don’t know if you remember, but we were just about to have a nice, boring, moderate Democrat for a president until you decided to open your mouth a week before the election. Really, as far as I’m concerned the Democrats can vote for a bong in the shape of Che Guevara, and you’ve got nothing to say about it!”

On Trump’s selection of Brett Kavanaugh to be the next U.S. Supreme Court justice:

“I guess we should just count our blessings that he didn’t get his first choice, Putin in a wig.”
