Donald Trump claims that he has with Iran. The Wall Street Journal, the conservative Wall Street Journal, says Trump stages an Iran retreat. That's Rupert Murdoch's Wall Street Journal headline. That's Rupert Murdoch's Wall Street Journal for its editorial, which says there's no denying that Mr. Trump is retreating from his main goals as political pressure has built at home and finishing the job requires greater military risk. And the right-wing publication, The National Review, delivered its review under the headline, The Trump Administration Thinks We're imbeciles. That is exactly right. No one insults the intelligence of Trump supporters more than Donald Trump. And here is the way Donald Trump treated the supporters who he thinks of as imbeciles today when he described what is in the so-called memo of understanding that he claims the United States and Iran have agreed to.
"There's so much interest in the text of the document, why not release the title?" "Oh, I will." "Why not release it before that?" "Well, because I'd like to get a formal setting first." "I'd like to get a formal setting first, before we do that. But I have no problem with that. It's great documentation. Here's what it says. Iran will never have a nuclear weapon." Only an imbecile could think that that would be some kind of breakthrough in 2026, to have a written agreement that says Iran will never have a nuclear weapon. 11 years ago, Iran put this in writing in the publicly released 18-page written agreement negotiated by Secretary of State John Kerry and agreed to by the United States and five other countries. Quote, "Iran reaffirms that under no circumstances will Iran ever seek, develop or acquire any nuclear weapons."
So Donald Trump's big claim today after going to war with Iran is that his war has convinced Iran to put in writing exactly what Iran put in writing 11 years ago without a war. Yes, Donald Trump thinks you're imbeciles if you believe that. Donald Trump is approaching his so-called deal with Iran the only way he knows how, which is to lie about it nonstop. That is what Donald Trump wants Congress to do. MS now obtained a copy of talking points that the White House has sent to Congressional Republicans and the first line is a lie. The talking point that Donald Trump wants Congressional Republicans to use is, "So, Donald Trump believes it is impossible to sell his so-called deal with Iran without lying about President Obama's comprehensive deal with Iran 11 years ago that successfully prevented Iran from pursuing nuclear weapons." First, you lie. That is the Trump rule of doing business for himself and for congressional Republicans. First, you lie about the deal that President Obama negotiated through Secretary of State John Kerry. So yes, The National Review is right, Donald Trump thinks the Trump supporters at The National Review who supported his election are imbeciles. And he always has treated you that way. He has always lied about Iran. And the editor-in-chief of The National Review still said, vote for him, America. Vote for the pathological liar who treats his voters like imbeciles and always the National Review editors like imbeciles today.
President Obama already negotiated the you-can't-buy-one deal 11 years ago. Iran, in writing, pledged to President Obama and other countries that Iran would never quote, "these are the words, seek, develop or acquire any nuclear weapons." Acquire means by. Seek means by. So no, Donald, you didn't come up with some new brilliant idea if you managed to get around to say exactly what they said 11 years ago in to a nuclear weapon. His deal was a road to a nuclear weapon. My deal, they can't have a nuclear. They get blown up. If they have a nuclear weapon, they get blown up in his deal. They were allowed to have a nuclear weapon. That's the lie that Donald Trump must keep telling in order to try to desperately justify his war in Iran, which most Americans opposed, and his deal with Iran that is so embarrassing he can't let the wording of it become public.
Donald Trump's desperation only got worse today as he continued to speak, and so he drove himself to ever more demented levels of lying, claiming that President Obama was on Iran's side and that Israel literally would not exist today were it not for Donald Trump and Obama was on the side of Iran not Israel and he made the deal that deal was a disaster I terminated that deal and if I didn't terminate it and was very tough after the termination and if I didn't do that Howard knows better than anybody if I didn't terminate that deal I believe that they would have Israel wouldn't be here right now oh where would Israel be they were two weeks away from having a nuclear weapon and if they had a nuclear weapon they would have used it on Israel if it weren't for the United States of America with me and because Obama was the opposite Israel would not exist right now Israel would have been blown off the face of the earth 100 percent and every smart person in Israel knows that. Every smart person in Israel knows that the National Review is right, but Donald Trump thinks that they are imbeciles. Every smart person in Israel knows that Israel already has nuclear weapons. Every smart person in Israel knows that Israel knows exactly how to defend itself against any form of attack. And so every smart person in Israel knows that they do not have to thank Donald Trump for their very existence on this earth tonight. Every smart person in Israel knows that Iran was not two weeks away from having a nuclear weapon. Donald Trump cannot talk about his negotiated outcome with Iran without insulting every smart person in Israel and everyone else in the world, including those editors of The National Review who suddenly feel like imbeciles for the first time. No American president has ever insulted the people of Israel the way Donald Trump did today, claiming that they owe their very lives to him. Donald Trump claimed that the people of Israel are completely dependent on him and him alone.
Donald Trump insists that the Iranian dictatorial regime suddenly obtained a nuclear weapon, they would immediately fire it at Israel. If true, if Donald Trump really believes that, then he must, must achieve regime change in Iran. How could Donald Trump possibly leave in place? People who would immediately nuke Israel if they could possibly get their hands on a nuclear weapon. Now, you talk about regime change. I never cared about regime change? What? So, again, I don't believe the regime change. And I've watched regime changes for years They're never working. Donald Trump said that minutes before he said that the Iranian regime, he is deliberately leaving in place, would immediately nuke Israel if they could. Yes, Donald Trump proves in his rambling madness every day that he thinks Trump supporters, people who believe him, are imbeciles. Donald Trump seems to demonstrate every day that he believes that the people who believe him, everything he says about Iran are imbeciles. It took the Trump supporters at the National Review 10 years to figure out that Donald Trump thinks that they are imbeciles. Here's Donald Trump, the pathological liar, who today said, "I never cared about regime change." CALLING FOR REGIME CHANGE ON THE VERY NIGHT THAT HE LAUNCHED HIS WAR IN IRAN. TO THE GREAT, PROUD PEOPLE OF IRAN, I SAY TONIGHT THAT THE HOUR OF YOUR FREEDOM IS AT HAND, STAY SHELTERED DON'T LEAVE YOUR HOME IT'S VERY DANGEROUS OUTSIDE BOMBS WILL BE DROPPING EVERYWHERE WHEN WE ARE FINISHED TAKE OVER YOUR GOVERNMENT IT WILL BE IT WILL BE YOURS TO TAKE, THIS WILL BE PROBABLY YOUR ONLY CHANCE FOR GENERATIONS.
It turns out the great proud people of Iran, as Donald Trump calls them are not Trump-believing imbeciles. They don't take life advice from Donald Trump. The people of Iran know that Donald Trump lied to them, and that the hour of their freedom is not at hand. Because Donald Trump said today that the dictatorial regime controlling Iran, oppressing the people of Iran, leaving everyone in that country living in fear of the regime quote "we're nice to deal with. We're dealing with people that I think are very rational I mean, they were nice to deal with. They were strong people, smart people. Nice to deal with." Tell that to the Iranian people who live under that dictatorship. Nice to deal with. Donald Trump has never met dictators he doesn't think are strong and smart and nice to deal with. And now the people of Iran have to listen to Donald Trump telling them how smart and strong their oppressive regime is, the regime that crushes their hopes and dreams. Donald Trump launched a war that has achieved nothing, and Donald Trump will spend the rest of his life, lying about that.
