Trump is holding together the shakiest coalition that you could conceivably govern on. It is a conservative, populist alliance that agrees with itself on very little.

More quotes by Van Jones
Donald Trump understood the dynamics of the new media system better than the people who ran the old media system.
Van Jones
Let me say what I actually believe. I believe that 9/11 was a conspiracy, by Al Qaeda, and Osama Bin Laden, and nobody else, trying to hurt America.
Van Jones
The Whitehouse is talking different because we are walking different
Van Jones
Though the rampant racial injustices throughout the criminal justice system were offensive to me and to millions of other people, I've never drawn a tight circle around the black community to define the limits of my moral concern. But that narrative tends to get imposed on you, if you're an African-American activist.
Van Jones
You put Hillary Clinton up against Donald Trump, I'm scared of the choice no matter what you do.
Van Jones
Donald Trump's a hell of a performer, he's a hell of an entertainer. If you put him on and let him say his crazy stuff, you're going to get a lot of viewers. If you take him off and have some sober discussion about what's going on in Syria, you're going to lose 80 percent of your audience.

To the God in myself is probably the most honest answer. I think everybody has a divine destiny.
Van Jones
All humans have fear, and those of us who are fortunate have faith.

Any successful long-term strategy will require that the green wave fully and passionately embrace the principles of eco-equity.
Van Jones
The green economy should not just be about reclaiming throw-away stuff. It should be about reclaiming thrown-away communities. It should not just be about recycling things to give them a second life. We should also be gathering up people and giving them a second chance.
Van Jones
We should tell people we are working to protect our country. We are working to make America stronger for the long run.
Van Jones
The problem that we have in America now is, some people only see the positive stuff and wave off the toxic stuff, and some people only see the toxic stuff and wave off the positive stuff. You can't have an honest conversation.
Van Jones
Listen, here's reality. It is completely unfair and absolutely necessary that people who have been oppressed and marginalized have to lead everybody. That is MLK, that is Dolores Huerta, that is Fannie Lou Hamer, that is Ella Jo Baker, that is Nelson Mandela. You walk down the line.
Van Jones
Religion has gotten a bad rap for good reasons. Often, there are a lot of people - women, LBGT, and others - you know, hierarchical monotheism has been a real source of a type of oppression.
Van Jones
I'm excited about our rising generation.
Van Jones
Ocean's remarkable stories, depth of commitment, and eloquent communication make him a fantastic resource for conferences, universities, and indeed everyone who wants a potent dose of grounded inspiration.
Van Jones
A one-sided analysis of anything always leads you into the wrong direction.
Van Jones
The bombs the government drops in Iraq are the bombs that blew up in New York City.
Van Jones
Well, we in America are about to break up with oil. Why not break up with poverty and discrimination too?
Van Jones
In other words: we can fight pollution and poverty at the same time, with the same method. We can beat global warming and the global recession at the same time, with the same method. We can do this by putting people to work re-powering America with clean energy.
