Update 6:44 a.m. Thursday:
- On a possible summit with North Korea: "If that happens, it'll be a great thing for North Korea. Most importantly, it would be a great thing for the world," Trump said, adding that he'd like denuclearization to be "done immediately, but physically, a phase-in may be a little bit necessary."
- On former FBI Director James Comey: "I would actually say, how is he going to explain to his grandchildren all of the lies, the deceit, all of the problems he has caused this country," Trump said, adding: "I've done a great service for this country by getting rid of [Comey], by firing him."

- On the economy: "We have a great economy – probably the best economy the country's ever had."
- On NFL national anthem protests: "You have to stand proudly for the national anthem. Otherwise, you shouldn't be playing; you shouldn't be there. Maybe you shouldn't be in the country."
