Power is poison. Its effect on Presidents had always been tragic.

Most powerful is he who has himself in his own power.

The great power the president has is that he is the most prominent person in the biggest media event on the planet. He has the attention of the nation and the world. When he speaks, everybody listens.

There is this power that comes with being famous.

But constant experience shows us that every man invested with power is apt to abuse it, and to carry his authority as far as it will go.

My father was a public figure all my life, and so the presidency was an extension of that. I guess you get used to it, though you can stand back occasionally and think, 'Boy, this is really weird!'

Power always thinks it has a great soul and vast views beyond the comprehension of the weak.

I was very political when JFK ran.

I've always believed everything was about protecting the Clinton power structure and anyone would be sacrificed who got in the way of that.

I just see how Donald Trump treats other people, and I was impressed by that.
