Trump: As I've said many times, this country is not respected.  We're laughed at, we're mocked; we're like the big bully that's no good, that's weak, but the fact is we're no longer respected.

With Iran, something is going to have to happen.  They're absolutely making nuclear weapons, and what they're doing is they're killing people in the street, and those people are fans of the United States.  Iranians love the United States, at least the people from Iran, not the leaders.  The leaders don't; they have no respect for the United States.

What we should do is when they start shooting the people in the streets as they start to protest, we ought to let them know, you hurt those people, we're coming after you.  And if you say that it'll be amazing how many lives we're going to save because they don't want us coming after them.  They're too smart for that.

Trump: There's a lot going on in my life, but the most important thing is really putting out my views on the country.  It just seems so much more important than real estate and building buildings and all of the other things that people are talking about.

I've made a lot of money, I've been very successful, but there's something that's just so much more important [inaud... but?] what we've been doing.  And I guess because of it, "Saturday Night Live" would love to have me host.  I did it once before.  I love Lorne Michaels; he's a great guy, he's got a fantastic job.  At some point, I think I'll probably do it again--"Saturday Night Live."
