We're really good friends, we go back to '86, '87. Most of my successful and best fights were at Trump's hotels. He didn't manage me, though. He was just helping me with my court case. We're the same guy, a thrust for power, a drive for power. Whatever field we're in, we need power in that field. That's just who we are. Balls of energy. We're not even who we think we are. We're fire. We're made of this crap-water, motion, dirt, diamonds, emeralds. We're made out of that stuff, can you believe it?

What I want in a woman is protection. Loyalty. Companionship. Loyalty, friendship, companionship, ferociousness. I want her to protect me, and have my back to the bitter end. If I have a fight, I want her to jump in. Even if I'm winning; even if she's ninety pounds. I like strong women-not necessarily a masculine woman-but I like strong women. I like strong, say a woman who runs a C. E. O. corporation. I like a strong woman with confidence-massive confidence-and then I want to dominate her sexually. (Mike Tyson)

When I see him, he shakes my hand and respects my family. None of them-Barack, whoever-nobody else does that. They're gonna be who they are and disregard me, my family. So I'm voting for him. If I can get 20,000 people or more to vote for him, I'm gonna do it.
