Bans

Q: I have a question on Japan, sir. They are expanding their entry ban to include the United States. Are you planning to take any similar action to ban Japanese nationals from coming to the U.S. as a result of this crisis?

Donald Trump: Well, we're looking at a lot of things and a lot of different bans. We have more bans than anybody. We had bans when bans weren't fashionable if you remember, right at the beginning of this administration; it was for different reasons. But we've had bans long before people thought of bans.

"We're looking at a lot of things and a lot of different bans," Trump says. He claims we have more bans than anybody, bans before people thought of bans.

'Lots of bans, some big, some small, some long, some wide, but good bans and possibly some bad bans ....but we'll see, nobody knew we had so many bans, and that bans were never heard of before we thought of them and not a lot of people know that, ....many people have told me....'

The most beautiful bans you’ve ever seen. People stop me and say “Mr President, thank you for these bans”. It’s incredible the bans. I know it. And you know it.

"So many bans. You'll get tired of banning."

In fact, they were just called “ans” before, and it was me who thought about putting the B in front. In fact, a lot of people have come up to me with tears in their eyes and said “Sir, thanks for inventing the word.”

The best bans. Big beautiful bans. Just the other day a big guy, a tough guy, came to me and said, crying, with big tears in his eyes, "Sir, I've seen a lot of bans, but these are the best bans I've seen yet. Thank you, sir. Thank you very much, sir."
