‘What a difference a brain makes’: Trump launches vicious attack on ‘Dumbocrat’ Ilhan Omar

Let's go live to the U.S. President, Donald Trump. If Iran could cause a worldwide depression, as you noted, Mr. President, are you willing to risk economic catastrophe and strike Iran again? Well, not the way I'm doing it. It's not going to cause depression. Yes, but if they don't abide by the memorandum of understanding? Well, a nuclear weapon supersedes depression. Depression is real bad. A nuclear weapon will cause depression much more quickly. The way we're doing it, we have the opposite of a depression. We're doing really well. The numbers are incredible. The oil is at a level that nobody's ever seen before. Oil prices are way down. I think they're very comparable to what they were, Chris, I don't know, pretty comparable to what they were before we started. They've returned most of the way back down. So, if Iran does not abide by the MOU, are you still willing to risk? Well, I didn't say it would cause a depression. I said it could cause a depression, right? And I said that I don't want to be Herbert Hoover. That's a president I don't want to be because he, you know, he was in charge during the Great Depression. And certainly a lot of bad things could happen. That would be one of the things. I don't think it would. But if it did, but no, if Iran doesn't live up to their agreement or if they're not behaving, I will. I will do what I have to do. Does that give them leverage over you, Mr. President? Say it. Does that give them leverage? The Iranians leverage over you? Oh, you're so leverage, you know, the Navy is gone. Their Air Force is gone. Their leaders are all dead. Their whole country's a mess. Their economy is shot. The you know, the Times, a fake New York Times said, oh, it's about the same as it was four months ago. Now, four months ago, they had a Navy one hundred and fifty nine ships to be exact. It's gone. The whole Navy's gone. There are two hundred and fifty airplanes all gone there. Their anti-aircraft is gone. Their radar is gone. These guys love radar. Their radar is gone. Everything's gone. Their leaders are gone. Their whole country is gone. And the Times said, oh, they're about the same as they were four months ago. The reason the news is doing so badly, or let's put it another way, the reason that I won in a landslide, even though I got 92 percent negative press or fake press, is because nobody believes the press anymore and they have to start believing when when the Times and a couple of others, they just they're grasping for stress when they say that Iran is about the same as it was four months. Four months ago, they had a powerful Navy that a powerful Air Force. You know, most of their missiles are gone. Most of their launching pads are gone. Most of their manufacturing capacity for drones and missiles is gone. About 87 percent gone. And then I hear, oh, they're in such great shape. No, they're gone. And their first level of leaders gone. Their second level of leaders gone. The third level of leaders, you have to hear the conversations. Who wants to be president? Well, I don't want it. Nobody wants to be president. And then we have to read that they're doing well. They're doing so badly. In the meantime, we're setting records. We have the strongest economy we've ever had. We have 18 to 19 trillion dollars being poured into our country. We're building factories all over the place. We have more people working today than at any time in the history of our country at higher salaries. So when you ask a question like that, it's so stupid. Here's another beauty. Watch this one. Here's a real beauty. Go ahead. Earlier today, the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said his forces are not leaving Lebanon. That is a sticking point. Who did he tell that to you? He said it publicly in Israel. Well, we're going to take a look at it. Well, what would you do to make sure that he doesn't sabotage me? Well, I'm not going to tell you what I'm going to do, but it gets solved. I'm a problem solver. I get problems solved real fast, including with Bibi. Go ahead. Thank you, Mr. President. Thank you. What's the latest you've heard from the vice president? Are you happy with his negotiations? Yeah. Can you share a little bit about what Secretary Rubio will be doing in the Middle East this week? I think that they're doing a fantastic job. Our secretary is fantastic. I think he's maybe going to go down as the best ever. And I thought J.D. Vance this morning was fantastic. I watched his news conference. And from Switzerland, he's a very smart guy. He did a great job. You know, when I look at the Democrats, I call them the Democrats, the Democrats. When I watched that, where one of them thought it was World War 11. She said World War 11. She read World War 2. You know about that, right? This is one of their potential leaders, Ilhan Omar, who married her brother to get into the country, by the way, illegally. But when I watch AOC, I have no idea, what a simple question, what happened when she was over in Switzerland, which probably never went there before, but she was. And then I watch somebody like J.D. or Marco. What did I said? What a difference. What a difference a brain makes. Mr. President. Sir, you've been quite critical of Prime Minister Starmer, and he's now resigned. Your thoughts and who would you like to see as the next prime minister? I was critical only for this, because I think he's a lovely man. But I said, you do. You're really messing up energy. You have windmills all over the place. In the meantime, you have the North Sea oil and they won't let anybody drill. It's one of the great fields in the world and they have any families. You know that the U.K. buys much of its energy, you know, where Norway, you know, where they get their oil, the North Sea. The U.K. has a much better portion of the North Sea. They don't want to do it for environmental purposes. OK. And I told him he's a very nice man. I mean, he's sort of a friend of mine. I mean, he was not good to us with NATO. Right. He said we can't use the island to land. That was the first for a couple of weeks. He said, well, but ultimately I gave it, you know, that was a bad move that hurt him badly. But but I mean, I wish him well, but he's got two problems, energy and immigration and crime. But energy and immigration. You know, he's really hurt himself very, very badly. Please. Mr. President, can you tell us about your meeting with the defense contractors on Wednesday and what you plan to tell them? The meeting coming up, because I've met with them before. We're building plants all over the country. They are not allowed to take any more stock buybacks. Do you do stock buybacks by any chance? Not too much. No, because he wants to invest in product. It's just an artificial way of raising a price if you're running a bad company. So they spend fifty one billion dollars and start, you know, on stock buybacks instead of spending them on plants. Now they're spending. They can't do that anymore. Now they're spending a lot of money. We're building many plants throughout the country and they're dealing with General Motors and dealing with Ford. But I know General Motors is all excited about building weapons. Now they have some plants which are going to switch over and we're going to build weapons, including the Patriot, including the Tomahawk and lots of other things. And we're in a big, really a big, strong economic push to do the weapons. And some of the car companies, if they have any excess capacity, they're making a deal to build missiles and the Patriot in particular. We have we have quite a few of them, but we want to make sure we have always a lot of them. Mr. President. Congratulations on the quantum physics. Vice President Vance said that there are mechanisms in place to make sure that there's not escalations with the Strait of Hormuz and with Israel and Lebanon. Can you talk about what those mechanisms are? And are you in direct talks with the Secretary of State? Look, here's the thing. As long as they respect us, I don't want to use the word fear because that's an inappropriate word. But as long as they respect us, we're not going to have any trouble. We have total control of the Strait. So the mechanism, you know, we have a Navy that had a blockade. I think the blockade was more impactful than dropping bombs. If you want to know the truth, it was like I said, they call it the steel wall. Nobody got to it. Not one ship got through able to go to Iran. They got through. We wanted them to go through and we could set that up again in about 15 minutes. I would say, Pete, one phone call would take maybe a half hour right now before we finish the meeting. No, we have. As long as they respect us, we're going to be fine. They don't respect us. Things wouldn't be good, but they have a lot of respect. Don't forget, we had presidents that should have done this for 47 years. Nobody did it. Obama. Obama gave them a road to a nuclear weapon. I gave them a wall against another. They can never under this agreement. They'll never even think about building a nuclear.
