@BrianJopek As someone else said, I think this would be more effective with citations (to make it clear this is not hyperbole or inaccurate paraphrase). I don't know if the original source gave such citations., but I believe these are the origins of the Trump paraphrases:

1 and 2 appear to be taken from his Veteran's Day speech on 2023-11-11 (though he also made some overlapping remarks on Truth Social). 3 appears to be taken from a speech he gave in Cedar Rapids, IA on 2023-10-07. And 4 appears to be from a speech he gave in Hialeah, FL on 2023-11-08 (though I'm not immediately finding great information on this one).

Of course it would be nice to pull the exact quotations from transcripts.
