💬 🇺🇸 Reporter: Why would the Iranians want you to blow up their infrastructure?

Trump: They would be willing to suffer that in order to have freedom.

💬 🇺🇸 Trump:

The Iranians are saying, “Please keep bombing.” These people live where the bombs are exploding.

We leave, and they say, “Please come back, come back, come back.”

💬 🇺🇸 Trump:

Iran was a great country if you go back 25 years ago or so.

💬 🇺🇸 Trump:

You want to see women’s rights? You won’t see it in Iran.

💬 🇺🇸 Trump:

Not everybody was on board with the rescue operation in Iran, Hegseth and Caine were on board.

💬 🇺🇸 Reporter: So now that you are dealing with a more reasonable leadership in Iran, what does that mean for the protesters?

Trump: If they assume control, I think it is very positive.

💬 🇺🇸 Trump:

You have a much different group of people, I am not saying we are dealing with them...

But we are dealing with them and I think it is going well.

💬 🇺🇸 Trump:

Obama should have chosen Iraq as a friend rather than Iran.

💬 🇺🇸 Trump on Iran:

I think Kurdish forces should stay away.

I think they bring some problems with them.

They bring death to themselves.

💬 🇺🇸 Reporter: Are you willing to make a deal that does not include reopening the Strait of Hormuz?

Trump: Reopening the Strait of Hormuz is a very big priority.

💬 🇺🇸 Trump:

They are very good bullshit artists.

They have been bullshitting other presidents for 47 years.

💬 🇺🇸 Trump:

We are communicating like they used to communicate 2,000 years ago, with children bringing a note back and forth.

💬 🇺🇸 Trump:

I am polling higher than anybody has ever polled in Venezuela.

After I am finished with this, I can go to Venezuela, I can quickly learn Spanish, and I will run for president.

💬 🇺🇸 Trump:

God supports the United States.

God is good.

💬 🇺🇸 Reporter: You called the Iranians crazy bastards.

Trump: True.

Reporter: What is your response to critics?

Trump: I don't care about critics.

💬 🇺🇸 Trump:

South Korea didn’t help us. Australia didn’t help us. Japan didn’t help us.

We’ve got 50,000 soldiers in Japan, 45,000 in South Korea, to protect them from Kim Jong Un, whom I get along very well with.

💬 🇺🇸 Trump:

If a certain president did his job, North Korea would not have nuclear weapons right now.

💬 🇺🇸 Trump on NATO:

It all began with Greenland. We want Greenland, and they don’t want to give it to us, and I said, “Bye-bye!”

💬 🇺🇸 Trump:

Notice Kim Jong Un said very nice things about me.

He used to call Joe Biden a mentally retarded person. He was so nasty to Joe Biden, it was terrible.
