"We?ve got a president who actually suggested selling Puerto Rico. Believe it or not, it could have been worse. He once asked our national security officials if he could nuke hurricanes."

"I mean, at least he didn?t do that. A nuclear hurricane seems like it would have been bad. I mean, it would be funny if it wasn?t. Look. Some of the rhetoric you?re hearing down here in South Florida, it?s just made up. It?s just nonsense. Listening to the Republicans, you?d think Joe was more Communist than the Castros. Don?t fall for that garbage, don?t fall for that okey-doke. Joe Biden is not a socialist. He was a senator from Delaware. He was my vice president. I think folks would know if he?s a secret socialist by now.... [The President] likes to act tough and talk tough. He thinks scowling and being mean is tough, and being rude is tough. But when 60 Minutes and Lesley Stahl are too tough for you, you ain?t all that tough. You got to walk out of a 60 Minutes interview, then you?re never going to stand up to a dictator. If you?re spending all your time complaining about how mean reporters are to you, you?re not going to stand up to Putin.... With Joe and Kamala at the helm, you won?t have to think about them every single day. There might be a whole day where they don?t be on TV. There might be a whole day where they don?t tweet some craziness. You won?t have to argue about them every day. It won?t be so exhausting. Just having a normal president.... We?re not going to have a president that goes out of his way to insult anybody who he doesn?t think is nice enough to him. We won?t have a president who threatens people with jail for just criticizing him. That?s not normal behavior, Florida. You wouldn?t tolerate it from a co-worker. You wouldn?t tolerate it from a high-school principal. You won?t tolerate it from a coach. You wouldn?t tolerate it from a family member. Florida Man wouldn?t even do this stuff."
