That Trump said he is his own foreign policy advisor because "I have a very good brain, I have said lots of things."? 

I heard it on the radio. It MUDT be out of context. He can't be that much of an idiot.

To be fair the media takes a lot of what anyone says out of context. There has been quite a few things they claimed he said that later has been proven false as for this I don't know.

It was his voice.
My phone won't load any search results. Can anyone confirm this quote or not?

To be fair if he did say it, it was most likely in jest. My gosh Biden whenever he opens his mouth comes up with the most crazy things and he is the vice president.

He said something to that effect. So what? He actually does have a brain and will go in and learn rather than doing NCAA brackets and golfing.

Trump basically said the world is full of grown up countries that we have been supporting for decades and it's time they start taking care of themselves. This is one of my favorite quotes:

He added: "I watched as we built schools in Iraq and they’re blown up. We build another one, we get blown up. We rebuild it three times and yet we can’t build a school in Brooklyn. We have no money for education because we can’t build in our own country. At what point do you say, 'Hey, we have to take care of ourselves?' So, I know the outer world exists and I’ll be very cognizant of that. But at the same time, our country is disintegrating, large sections of it, especially the inner cities."

 

As for advisors:

 

Trump began the hour-long meeting by pulling out a list of some of his foreign policy advisers.

"Walid Phares, who you probably know. PhD, adviser to the House of Representatives. He’s a counterterrorism expert," Trump said. "Carter Page, PhD. George Papadopoulos. He’s an oil and energy consultant. Excellent guy. The honorable Joe Schmitz, [was] inspector general at the Department of Defense. General Keith Kellogg. And I have quite a few more. But that’s a group of some of the people that we are dealing with. We have many other people in different aspects of what we do. But that’s a pretty representative group."

Trump said he plans to share more names in the coming days.

He said it a couple days ago when he was being pressed on foreign policy. Press went crazy. Since then he has released a list of names.

Dona,

I accidentally found the quote:

Meanwhile, in an interview on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” program, Mr. Trump described himself as the person he listens to most on foreign policy.

“I’m speaking with myself, number one, because I have a very good brain and I’ve said a lot of things,” Mr. Trump said.

He went on, “My primary consultant is myself and I have — you know, I have a good instinct for this stuff.” He rejected labels of his foreign policy views as “neo-isolationist,” as an earlier guest on the show described it.

That's only part of the quote.  There's a whole middle part you skipped right over...

 

Here is the transcript...

I’m speaking with myself, number one, because I have a very good brain and I’ve said a lot of things." 

"I know what I’m doing and I listen to a lot of people, I talk to a lot of people and at the appropriate time I’ll tell you who the people are," Trump said. “But my primary consultant is myself and I have a good instinct for this stuff."

OMG.  Then he went further and said that he was also speaking with others.  You just want to skip over that part right.

Here's your obvious way of thinking.

"I don't just like my boyfriend,  I love my boyfriend.  He could jump off a bridge and I would follow him"

What would be reported, and Flan would believe:

"I don't like my boyfriend.  He could jump off a bridge" because that was indeed said, but out of context. But to Flan, it's the cold hard truth...

 This is the article from that link - please show me where your quote is in there? 

 

WASHINGTON — Donald Trump will tell his supporters not to riot if he’s denied the Republican presidential nomination, but he suggested it could happen anyway. 

ABC News host George Stephanopoulos had to ask three times to get Trump to say he’d tell his supporters not to riot if he’s denied the nomination at the Republican National Convention this summer. 

“I would certainly tell them that, but, you know, look, these people are — are fervent,” Trump said. 

“I don’t want to see riots. I don’t want to see problems,” Trump continued. “But, you know, you have — you have millions of people who we’re talking about, George, millions of additional people have gone. You know, I’ve gotten more than 2 million votes more than anybody else, 2 million votes, more than anybody else.”

Trump first said there could be riots if someone else gets the nomination last week. “I think you’d have riots,” he said. “I think you’d have riots. I’m representing a tremendous, many, many millions of people.”

Other Republicans, including House Speaker Paul Ryan (Wis.), condemned Trump’s riot comment, coming as it did on the heels of violent clashes between Trump supporters and protesters at his rallies. “Nobody should say such things in my opinion because to even address or hint at violence is unacceptable,” Ryan said.

The criticism hasn’t stopped Trump from hinting at violence. 

“I don’t know what’s going to happen,” Trump said Sunday. “But I will say this, you’re going to have a lot of very unhappy people.”

Editor’s note: Donald Trump regularly incites political violence and is a serial liarrampant xenophoberacistmisogynist and birther who has repeatedly pledged to ban all Muslims — 1.6 billion members of an entire religion — from entering the U.S.
