Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump lampoons US Secretary of State John Kerry, saying his Iranian counterparts in the recently completed nuclear negotiations must have thought him “a schmuck.”
“Having a deal is good, but we should have doubled then tripled up the sanctions and negotiated from strength,” Trump tells his supporters at a rally in Dubuque, Iowa. on Tuesday. “Instead we have Kerry, that goes on bicycle races… he falls, he breaks his leg, this is our chief negotiator, he’s walking in (and) they’re looking at him like ‘what a schmuck.'”
The businessman and former TV host also accused the secretary of state of being stupid.
“I watched the chief negotiator being interviewed by Charlie (Rose), and after five minutes I tweeted… ‘this guy is too smart for Kerry.’ I was right,” he said.
