Trump Says US Will Resume Attacking Iran 'Very Hard' (Q&A)

Well, we're going to be attacking them and attacking them very hard and resuming bombing. Yeah, well, we are based on a helicopter. I guess we have the right to do that. You know, they shut down a very, very incredible, actually, an incredible machine. And at first they said they didn't do it. Then they admitted they did. So it is easy because we have that. We have the bomb. They actually have the bomb. They're very lucky that bomb didn't explode. That bomb was lodged in the helicopter. Didn't mean it was on fire, but it didn't explode. It says those two guys, they knew how to fly, but they got very lucky. And that we had the unmanned boat going very, very fast at speeds that you wouldn't want to go. That's why it's unmanned, I guess, because nobody can go in that. But they rescued. So the both. Both people are unfortunately, the pilots here.

Okay. No, no, I've been working with Iran for a number of months, and they should sign a deal. It's a good deal. It doesn't give them the right to have a nuclear weapon. In fact, it totally prohibits them from ever having a nuclear weapon. And it was just tap, tap, tap. I don't know what they're doing. So they then shot out a shot at our helicopter. A very expensive helicopter, by the way. But much more importantly, the two men. Fortunately, they're okay, but an amazing rescue. If you ever get a clip, you'll. You won't believe the rescue call. It was the equipment we have. Look, we have the strongest military in the world. And I gave them a break. At the request of Pakistan, the field marshal and the Prime Minister of Pakistan, and we stopped them from going to war with India. You would have had a nuclear war if it wasn't for me. But they became friendly to me, very friendly. And they stayed in close to Iran and they worked, and they still are working on trying them to do what's right. But we want a deal that is meaningful. We want a deal that works. We don't want to just have a Barack Hussein Obama deal, JCPOA, the worst deal. That was a path to a nuclear. It's the exact opposite, you know, like on television. I said, oh, they should have kept that. First of all, it was over as a short term deal. But that deal was a path to a nuclear weapon. This is a path against a no. You can't have a nuclear weapon. His was a path to a nuclear weapon. They were developing during his administration. Nuclear weapon. If they had a nuclear weapon, there'd be no Israel. There'd be no Middle East, and they would have absolutely shot at us. So. So we'll see what happens. But we hit him hard yesterday and we're going to hit him again hard today. In case you miss it, in case you don't turn on your television set and we'll see what happens with the deal. We were we were really close to a deal. But they keep tapping us along. They keep playing this for suckers because you know what? They dealt with some very stupid presidents. I have to say that I'm embarrassed to say some very stupid people were sitting there.

She does, because she's a sane woman and she's not my best friend at all. These guys are I get along well, but I have some. But she's the sane person and she's a person that never missed a vote in many years. I mean, she's like 10,000 plus 10,000 votes. She never missed a vote, unfortunately, because sometimes she voted against me. You know, she was the same woman and she wasn't a respected person. Maybe a little different ideology than me, but this guy is a thug. He's a fake. He's a fake thug. He's a phony. I made a lot of money picking out phonies. He's a real phony. Bad. He's a bad person.

Well, I'm not going to say that to you, but I can do that. Look, I could knock out. We have the most power. I built a military with these people approving it and approved numbers that nobody would have ever thought. We were big spenders. We built it. We gave a lot to Ukraine through Biden. He gave a lot of money. A lot. But we're great shape. We have a lot of storage capacity. But he gave a lot. And if you look at, you know, what's happened. I When I left our company, our cupboards were full. He gave. And he gave it. Now I sell it to the European Union and they give it to Ukraine for the most part. But we have the strongest military anywhere in the world. And sometimes you'll have to use it. And we have to remember. And when people hear this, Iran very simply cannot have a nuclear weapon. And they won't. And they've agreed to that. All they have to do is they have to start signing a paper. It's fully negotiated. We have a fully negotiated, but they're tapping and tapping. And I said, all right, let's give them a couple of more days. That tapping because it's a meaningful paper. They know when they sign that paper it's meaningful. The Obama deal, JCPOA, one of the worst, one of the dumbest documents I've ever seen.

Well, I can say this. We're having a meeting with them. It's an amazing industry. It's bigger than any industry anyone's ever seen. We are leading China by a lot. And, you know, whoever leads that is going to really lead the world to a large extent. That's how big it is. And I'm going to have meetings with the top 12 or 15 executives very shortly. And we're talking about giving back something to the public. And if we do that, the public will become very rich. The people in our country, because that's the kind of money we're talking about. And I think they'll do that, and I think it'll make it very popular.

Well, as you know, he's a very good friend of mine, and we've worked very well together. I like him a lot. I'm not supposed to say that because the professor. So he likes the other one? No, he's a he's a hell of a leader and a strong person. Very strong person. I haven't heard that at all. If I did, I'd call him. And I think I'd make sure that things were fine. I don't think that will happen with Turkey. Not that as long as I'm president, because he respects me and I respect him. But beyond that, we have a good friendship. So, you know.

My birthday? Well, I'll go see a bigger piece of the world. Bigger peace of the world. Middle East? Yes. Peace to the whole world.

Oh, hey. It's terrible. Yeah. Okay to do. I think it's terrible. I've seen it. I mean, he was, but, you know, now he's trying to sort of say. Yeah, I sort of know him. I didn't know him. It was very good friends. And you look at the you go back and look at what happened during that period of time. He was a witness at the trial for him was a positive witness for him. He said the most blowing things, getting knocked down. The World Trade Center admitted that he knocked down the World Trade Center. I think it's another one. If you look, I actually think the one in Maine is worse because he's just an outright pig. He's like a pig. I watched him a couple of times. He's like a pig. That's what he reminds me of. You know, I come up with good names for people. I don't want to stick him with that one. Although I think pigs would be very upset about it.
