Trump: ‘My no. 1 priority is to dismantle the disastrous deal with Iran’
Trump turns to Iran:
“My number-one priority is to dismantle the disastrous deal with Iran. This deal is catastrophic for Israel, for the Middle East. The problem here is fundamental. We rewarded the world’s number-one sponsor of terror with $150 billion and gotten nothing in return.”
“I’ve studied this issue in greater detail, greater by far than anyone else,” he proclaims, drawing loud guffaws throughout the Verizon Center basketball stadium. “Believe me,” he insists.
“The biggest concern isn’t that Iran will violate it, as you know it has. The biggest problem is that it can keep the deal and run out the clock, and keep the billions and billions of dollars.”
