‘She should be thrown out of the country’: Donald Trump fires up over ‘corrupt’ Ilhan Omar

Go ahead. Mr. President, on Iran, how confident are you that there will be a signing this weekend? Because you have come close to sealing a deal, but at the last minute it has fallen apart. It'll be soon. Maybe this weekend. And has the Supreme Leader approved this deal, sir? I understand the answer is yes. And when the deal is signed, is the United States going to immediately lift the blockade? Yes, that's true. And just one more. And you'll have oil prices dropping like a rock. And sir, have you actually secured an agreement on the discussions about the nuclear material and the nuclear negotiations? Yes, conceptually on that. And nobody is getting close to it because it's buried under a mountain, basically. Those B-2 bombers. Mr. President, but has Iran committed to not pursuing a nuclear weapon, or will there be more negotiations on that down the line? They will not have a nuclear weapon. They've agreed to that. There will be no, which is the whole reason, which is a big part of the reason. Is that going to be in your agreement, sir? They will not only not have, they will not purchase, develop in any way, any shape, in any way, shape, or form a nuclear weapon. They will not have a nuclear weapon. Mr. President, just to follow up on that, you have said before that Iran and the United States were close to a deal. It has not happened yet. Why are you so convinced that this time is different? Because they've taken a pounding. They've taken a pounding like very few people could take, and they want to make the deal a lot more than I do. And we could have had it done the other way, I guess, but it would have taken longer. They got hit very hard recently, as you know. And I don't like to have to do things that way, but I felt it was necessary. It's a great deal for the United States and for the Middle East, and I think ultimately great for Iran because they'll be able to build up their country and another country. I really believe it's a regime change because I find these people to be much more rational than the people that are no longer with us. We knocked out the first team of leadership, the second team of leadership. This is a different group, this is a different level, and I think it's, frankly, a smarter level and it's a level that has reason. And they've all approved the deal, everybody's approved the deal. Now we'll get it finished up and hopefully that'll be done. We will not have Iran having a nuclear weapon, which is very important to these people behind me. We can talk about fishing, there won't be anybody to fish. The fish will still be around, I guess, they're probably going to be affected too, we're not going to let it happen. So Iran will essentially, most important paragraph to me, Iran will in no way, shape or form have a nuclear weapon or purchase a nuclear weapon. But it's just the concept of that agreement when it comes to nuclear. You said this was just the concept of that agreement. So is this just essentially setting the stage for deeper talks on nuclear? Well, it's a very strong memorandum of understanding. That is a little conceptual, but it's something that's going to get done. And if it doesn't get done for any reason, which I can't imagine that not happening, they want to sign it as much as I do or more. I would say they want to sign it more, maybe a lot more. But it's a very detailed memorandum of understanding, also agreed to by many other countries that have great influence over them. And everybody wants it done. So it's going to get done. You said yesterday that Iran may be tapping along the U.S. Those were the words that you used. What makes you believe that they are sincere this time in wanting to pursue diplomacy? It's the level of enthusiasm for getting it done. And we were hitting them very hard for the last three days. We're going to hit them even harder tonight. They knew that. We told them exactly what we were going to do. We explained it exactly, because they had no Navy, they had no Air Force, they had no any weapons of detection. They had nothing. And so we could tell them exactly what they there wasn't a thing they could have done about it. And we won this war militarily very early on. The only thing we didn't win was the fake news was, you know, no matter if they could have raised the white flag of surrender and the fake news would say, oh, they did wonderfully. They didn't do wonderfully. But you know what? They've got a chance to build a country. Their country is largely demolished again. Their Navy is gone. Their Air Force is gone. Their anti-aircraft is gone. Everything's gone. Their leadership is gone many times over. Even many people from this leadership is gone. But we found them to be rational. And they're going to make a deal. And I'll tell you what, it's a great deal. You know why it's a great deal? Because they will never have a nuclear weapon. Is there a specific amount of time that has to pass between this memorandum of understanding and a final deal being done? Well, we hope it's going to go relatively quickly, but it's... Is there a 16 or a 19 deadline? I mean, the streets are going to open immediately. It's fun signing. Maybe it'll be Saturday or Monday. Where is there a deadline, though, to get from this to a final deal? We think it's going to go pretty quickly. I don't want to say a deadline, because if I say a deadline, you'll say, oh, he didn't meet the deadline. You know, this is like... It's not going to matter much because it's going to get signed. And the street is open. But the streets have been open for a number of months already, and you just didn't know about it. You know, you as reporters weren't able to get it. They just announced yesterday that we brought a lot of ships that nobody knew about. I guess we did a pretty good job, Peter, right? But we brought many, many ships across, and millions, hundreds of millions of barrels of oil were brought across. And there wasn't a thing that anybody could have done about that. Yeah. Is the Card Island operation off the table, and are you ruling out losing the ground at Well, now it would be. If we signed this agreement, it would be. They weren't so thrilled when they heard that that's what I was going to do. I just don't think... I like it. Great. Look at Venezuela, how well that's worked out. We paid for that war many times over and many, many times over. We have millions of barrels of oil from Venezuela going to Houston, and we're working great with the Venezuelan government. Couldn't be better. It's a real... It's a real good relationship, really good relationship. Venezuela has been amazing. This is a larger situation. Actually less oil. Venezuela has a lot of oil. But we... Think of it. We spend X dollars. We paid for it many, many times. When was the last time you heard that? Many times over, we paid for it. You ever think you'd see that in this country, right? We go to wars, we end up with always... We end up with just blasting the hell out of people, and we come home, nothing happens. Venezuela was amazing, and this is amazing. Yeah. Mr. President... Are you considering using or drafting an executive order to extend by FISA or to continue using Section 72? Well, the Congress wants me to do it, and let's see what happens. The Republican leadership wants you to do it. Well, I put out a statement, sure. That's very important. It's very important for our military. Mr. President, on the State of America Act, you are now urging Republicans to add that to this third reconciliation bill. Yeah. What's your perspective on why the election interpreting matters so much for national security from your perspective as the United States? What we're needing for... We need to have voter identification, which you don't have right now, on a national basis. We need it for... And the voter ID is very important. We need it for proof of citizenship. You believe it? The Democrats are fighting. They don't want you to prove your citizenship when you vote. You know why they want that? Because they cheat. And we also want it with mail-in voting, where you have people that are sent seven, eight ballots, two ballots, four ballots. And a lot of them sign those ballots, mail-in voting, and we want to be very judicious if you're in the military and you're far away, or if you're handicapped, or if you're sick, or if you're on vacation, that you have a... But you're not going to... Millions and millions... Look at California. They send out millions of ballots, tens of millions. They have no idea what's going on. Those elections are so corrupt. So we have a mail-in ballot. Then we have no men and... We had two more. No men in women's sports. Talking about saving America, right? No men in women's sports. Another one. Very popular. I think it's 99-to-1. They say it's 80-20. I think it's 99-to-1. And we have no mutilization of your children for transgender purposes. So, let's see. Transgender mutilization of your children. Does that sound good with you guys? General speaking? You're not into transgender mutilization? Not at all. Not at all, sir. Well, your child leaves your house and they take your child from you. In some cases... Think of it. In six states, they take the child and do what they want to do. What they do is... I don't even want to talk about it. We had that. No transgender mutilization of your children. On GNI, Mr. President, do you intend to have Bill Pulte continue to serve as the acting director of national intelligence? And do you think it's unreasonable that some Republicans have concerns that he has no intelligence experience even to be serving in this... But he's intelligent. Unlike a lot of other people. But do you think that's a fair comment? No intelligence... He's only there for a little while. He's running it for a short while while we get a very talented person, Jake Layton, in, as you know. Jake Layton's an incredible talent, head of Sullivan and Cromwell. He was head of the SEC. He was now Southern District. I mean, nobody has better credential. But Bill will run it for a short while. He's done a fantastic job at Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac. Created tremendous... It's probably worth a trillion dollars now. Trillion. And he's done a great job. He's a smart guy. Mr. President, do you intend to have Bill Pulte... Today's another example of you bringing these everyday Americans into the White House and listening to them. How important is it for you to listen to everyday Americans when it comes to policymaking on a daily basis? These people built the country. Not the complainers. The complainers didn't build the country. These people built the country. Whether it's fishermen or farmers or anything else. Me. Guys like me. They built the country. And, you know, I watch all these ingrates. They're always complaining, complaining. They didn't build anything. They couldn't build anything. Look at what's happened in Minnesota. Somalia. All these people came in from Somalia. They ripped off our system. You have the woman who married her brother. She came in and she married her brother. Isn't that wonderful? And then she talks about the Constitution of the United States. She comes from Somalia. They don't have constitutions in Somalia. They don't have police. All they have is people that run around shooting each other. And then she comes and tells us how to run our country. I don't like it. These people don't like it. I can tell you. I think I can speak for you. She comes in. Ilhan Omar. She comes in. She tells us how to run the United States of America. And she comes from a place without anything. Without anything. Probably among the worst countries in the world. And she says, the Constitution of the United States protects me. She shouldn't be protected. She honestly, she should be thrown out of the country. She's corrupt. And most of the people that came in are corrupt. And the whole voting system is corrupt in Minnesota. I won Minnesota three times. Easily. I won almost every county. But they didn't give it to me. It's a corrupt system. Very corrupt state. The governor is terrible. The attorney general is terrible. They're all very corrupt people. Do you think there's enough support from Republicans in Congress to pass it? I mean, any Republican that voted against it would be. McConnell and Collins say they don't think it's enough. Well, McConnell's an angry man. He, you know, got thrown out of his position. He's an angry guy. You know, he should be very thankful to me. Because if I didn't win, he wouldn't have gotten to appoint. I appointed the judges. He didn't. He gets credit for appointing judges. He didn't appoint anybody. I did. You know how I did? I won the election. And then I picked judges. And the judges ended up getting approved. And they said, oh, didn't he do a good job? He didn't do a good job. What the hell did he do? I won the election. He's an angry man who's very disloyal to John Thune. John Thune's a good man. He was a loyal worker for Mitch McConnell. He worked for Mitch McConnell. He worked very hard. He was very loyal to him. I disagreed with him a lot because Mitch McConnell gave so much money to Democrats. He gave them money. They had to go get the wall money from the military. I just took it out of the military because that guy wouldn't do anything. He gave it. Now, Mitch McConnell's a bad guy. And he's an allow—I thought he was lousy at his job. Lousy at his job. But when they gave him—the only thing he—they gave him a lot of credit for judges. But I'm the one that got the judges. You know why? I won the election. If I didn't win the election, he wouldn't have had any judges. So, yeah. Say it again? They didn't send a supplemental. But you have him. You have Murkowski. I've done so much for Murkowski. You have the governor. I'm your governor. Have I done a lot for Alaska? Has there anybody done more for Alaska than me? And Murkowski's terrible. Terrible to us. Terrible to the country. And, you know, I almost feel guilty. I do more—probably done more for Alaska than any other state. Not because of her. Because it's the right thing to do. She's just an impediment. But she's there. She probably will be a negative vote. You have a couple of others. I think Rand Paul's come a long way. Let's see what happens. I think Rand Paul likes Save America. Because Rand Paul's usually a negative vote. But I think he likes Save America. So that's good. I like Rand Paul. But, you know, I hope he votes for us. Yeah. Thank you, Mr. President. The president of the Kentucky Farm Bureau testified before the Senate about a month ago, middle of May. At that point, he said that the pricing and availability of fertilizer was a crisis for farmers. And he said the war was not helping that. And he said we need the government to step in and provide economic help. Even if you do make a deal in the next couple of days, that was a month ago that farmers were saying they were in crisis. Do you think there needs to be federal aid specifically for farmers because of the war? No, it's fair. You know, I gave the farmers $28 billion in my first term because they were taken advantage of by China. And I charged China for it. I put tariffs on it. China paid us hundreds of billions of dollars. And I took $28 billion out of the tariffs from China and other countries that treated our farmers very badly. I gave them $28 billion. And I'm looking at that, actually. The war is the primary impediment, which is now going to come down from Ukraine. You know, a lot of it comes out of Ukraine and other things, but other places. But no, the farmers have a problem with fertilizer. But that's all coming down now. And your fuel is going to be I think it's going to be lower than it was four or five months ago. Four or five months ago, we were doing unbelievable. Remember this. If you look at Biden, his oil prices without saving our country, saving the world by going out and saying to Iran, you cannot have a nuclear weapon. If I ask these people about Iran having a nuclear weapon and they're going to have to go through some pain. I mean, I don't think I, you know, I hate to really do it because it's a little dangerous. Every one of these people are going to say you cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon because they'd use it. You want to see turmoil? You want to see death and destruction? Let Iran have a nuclear weapon. So, but I am looking at doing a form of help because of fertilizer. But fertilizer is going to come way down as soon as this is over. Next week, there's a big runoff race in Georgia for U.S. Senate. You notably endorsed a candidate for governor there. You haven't endorsed for U.S. Senate between the two Republicans. Why not? I may do that. But, you know, every time I endorse, they win. It's been a pretty amazing track record. I was 18 to know this last week. Do you regret endorsing Randy Feenstrom, sir? What? Do you regret endorsing Randy Feenstrom in Iowa? The man running against him was all Trump. And the only one out of hundreds of races, hundreds. I'm glad she brought it up. You know, she's got to bring it up. There's a gentleman in Georgia that I endorsed who was much less Trump than the other man that won, as you know. And had I been given the proper information, which I don't think I was, I probably would have endorsed the other person. But, or not endorsed at all, but I would have endorsed the other person. The other person was much more Trump, as you know, than Randy. Mr. President, here in Washington, D.C., there's a Democratic primary for mayor. One of the two leading candidates, Janice Lewis-George, is running a Zoran Mondami campaign. So, focused on socialist policies. How would you feel if she emerges victorious in next Tuesday's election? Well, I wouldn't like it. And maybe we'll take back Washington and run it on the federal basis. We won't put up with it. We're not going to lose our businesses. By the way, Washington now is a safe, beautiful place. We had 22 fountains dug that are all working. Not one of them worked for years, 25 years, 40 years, 58 years. Actually, the pool didn't work from 19—it was 1928 it was built. It always leaked because it was done in stone. Now it's done properly. It's not going to leak at all. But this is a beautiful place now. People are coming. Restaurants are thriving. The restaurants are all closing, closed. Nobody wanted—now you can't get restaurant space. You can't get into it. We have a thriving community. We got rid of the crime. We're 92 percent down on crime. Think of it. And we're going to be close to 100 percent pretty soon. You always have some whack job someplace, but we're going to be close to 100 percent. So, Washington is thriving. Memphis is—the people came in from Memphis. Seventy-four percent reduction in crime. New Orleans, think of that. Seventy-eight percent reduction in crime. They had the safest Mardi Gras that they've ever had. You know why? Because we sent in people that take care of crime. Chicago should do it. New York should do it. Los Angeles should do it. We'll make life—
