JD Vance on the TikTok deal: "I believe that north of 80% of the company will be owned by the American investors... This is not something where the Chinese or any Chinese entity has a large stake of the table... The important thing about this deal is that the United States still has the ability to review the terms of the transaction and review the national security implications of the new entity — not just over the next 100 days, but over the next many years."

POTUS: "It began before I got to office. Before I came to office, I started hearing rumors about 'Russia.' I said, 'What the hell do I have to do with Russia?' ... and then it got worse and worse... It's about justice, really. It's not revenge — it's about justice."

@RapidResponse

POTUS: "Soros is a name certainly that I keep hearing... I hear names of some pretty rich people that are Radical Left... If they are funding these things, they're going to have some problems because they're agitators and they're anarchists."

@RapidResponse

POTUS on what saving TikTok will mean for small businesses: "Small businesses have become very successful because of TikTok... they use it virtually as an advertising tool, and without it, they wouldn't have anything... So, it's a very important thing for small business."

@RapidResponse

POTUS: "We're going to take some of that tariff money that we made — we're going to give it to our farmers... We're going to make sure that our farmers are in great shape."

@RapidResponse

REPORTER: Who do you hold responsible for the uptick in left-wing violence?

@RapidResponse

POTUS: "We grieve for the friend and leader we have lost. But we go forward strengthened by his faith, bolstered by his courage, and inspired by his example to defend the country he lived for, for the freedoms he died for, and the values in which he so deeply believed."

@RapidResponse

POTUS: On that terrible day — 9/10/2025 — our greatest evangelist for American liberty became immortal. He's a martyr now for American freedom. I know I speak for everyone here today when I say that none of us will ever forget Charlie Kirk, and neither now will history.

@RapidResponse

POTUS: "Some of the very people who call you a 'hater' for using the wrong pronoun were filled with glee at the killing of a father with two beautiful young children."

@RapidResponse

JD Vance: "I always felt a little uncomfortable talking about talking about my faith in public... I have talked more about Jesus Christ in the past two weeks than I have my entire time in public life — and that is an undeniable legacy of the great Charlie Kirk."

@RapidResponse

POTUS: "Shortly before Charlie arrived on campus the day he was assassinated, a staff member texted him that there were many critics and students who were opposed his views... Charlie wrote back to the staff member saying, 'I’m not here to FIGHT them—I want them to know them and love them...' In that private moment on his dying day, we find everything we need to know about who Charlie Kirk truly was."

@RapidResponse

Secretary Marco Rubio's full remarks at Charlie Kirk's memorial service: "I just came from overseas, and every country I stopped, they gave us their condolences for his passing. Impactful, in just 31 years of life... He mattered — and he will matter now more than he ever has before."

@RapidResponse

POTUS: "Charlie would often call me, sometimes the night before a big event... he'd say, 'Do you think you can come and speak at the event?' ... I almost always went—because you never wanted to let Charlie down."

@RapidResponse

@RapidResponse

POTUS: "Charlie's murder was not just an attack on one man or one movement — it was an attack on our entire nation."

@RapidResponse

POTUS: "Charlie volunteered for my 2016 campaign and traveled the nation with my son Don, and Eric. I got to know him very well and saw immediately that Charlie was actually a master builder."
