Here's a link to a full transcript of his O'Liely interview. It contains annotations from WaPo's Chris Cillizza, which you can optionally view as well.

O’Reilly: Do you respect Putin?

Trump: I do respect him but —

O’Reilly: Do you? Why?

Trump: Well, I respect a lot of people but that doesn’t mean I’m going to get along with him. He’s a leader of his country. I say it’s better to get along with Russia than not. And if Russia helps us in the fight against ISIS, which is a major fight, and Islamic terrorism all over the world — that’s a good thing. Will I get along with him? I have no idea.

O’Reilly: But he’s a killer though. Putin’s a killer.

Trump: There are a lot of killers. We’ve got a lot of killers. What do you think — our country’s so innocent. You think our country’s so innocent?

O’Reilly: I don’t know of any government leaders that are killers.

Trump: Well — take a look at what we’ve done too. We made a lot of mistakes. I’ve been against the war in Iraq from the beginning.

O’Reilly: But mistakes are different than —

Trump: A lot of mistakes, but a lot of people were killed. A lot of killers around, believe me.

Believe you? Um, no. You are a proven, chronic, blatant, self-aggrandizing liar.

1. It is a good think I was sitting down

O'Liely made sense in this transcript snip. Wonders will never end.

2. I'm only slightly less adverse to reading transcripts of this illegitimate figure.

Sorry. The less I know, the less I want to know.

4. I too am repulsed by his words, but I figure,

how can I object to what he says if I don't know what objectionable things he says?

3. Thank you. That's me.

5. You're welcome.

It's not fun to read, but it's good to know the enemy.
