National security looks different from the Oval Office than it does from a hotel room in Iowa.

I found this national debt, doubled, wrapped in a big bow waiting for me as I stepped into the Oval Office.

There is nowhere I encounter greater understanding for Israel's existential issues than in the Oval Office.

Caricatures created by politics never fit comfortably into the Oval Office.

I never trashed a hotel room or did drugs.

I'll be long gone before some smart person ever figures out what happened inside this Oval Office."
