Trump says end of Iranian regime ‘wouldn’t happen’ if he were president, suggests peace could be closer

Former President Donald Trump claimed in an interview Thursday that Israel will not “necessarily… be eliminated.” Iran’s religious regime If he were returned to the White House, it was suggested that the Republican nominee would encourage peace talks between the two enemies.

Asked by host Hugh Hewitt whether he believed he could “get rid of that (Iranian) regime before Israel and our Gulf state allies get nuclear weapons,” Trump, 78, said Iran would rather May be willing to negotiate an agreement.

“Well, I don’t necessarily know that you have to do this, but I think we’re in a much better positionTrump said. “If (Israel) had followed Biden’s advice, they would have been waiting for the bombs to drop on them. But fortunately, you know, Bibi (Netanyahu) calls me often, and we talk a lot. But I always say, ‘Make your own decision.’ But Bibi has her own opinion.

“If Bibi had listened to Biden, he would be waiting for a nuclear bomb to drop on his head right now, okay?” The 45th President repeated. “And now, on the contrary. He put them in a very good negotiating position. I think he can get away with it. You want to know? I think he’s in a position where he can fight them or he can make a deal, and a good deal, a real deal.”

Nevertheless, when Hewitt asked whether Trump would use force “if necessary” to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons, the former president replied that he would.

,I really think it’s very easy to talk to Iran right now. And three or four months ago, or a few months ago, I think it would have been very difficult,” Trump said.

Trump also said Thursday he could reach a similar understanding with Chinese President Xi Jinping — saying he would treat Vice President Kamala Harris “like a child.”

“He’ll take all the candy very quickly. She won’t have any idea what happened,” he said. “It would be like playing the role of a novice chess master. We will lose our country or get trapped in the Third World War.”

“It’s possible that that will happen, because she will be upset,” Trump said of Harris. She is not able to handle it in any way. He is a fierce person.”

When asked by Hewitt whether Trump “Prevent (Xi) from attacking Taiwan,Trump said he doesn’t think Chinese dictators are a threat to America if you have the right president.

“I got along very well with him. I was also strict towards him. You know, I took over $400 billion worth of tariffs,” he said. “He wasn’t thrilled with it, but I had a good relationship with him until COVID. It was a bridge too far and I broke it.

After this Hewitt again put pressure on Trump by commenting Xi “is leaning heavily on Taiwan at the moment.”

“They took the island by storm this week with their live fire drills,” the Salem radio host said. “Do you think you can stop him from this nonsense? Because if they did, the world economy would collapse.”

Trump responded by saying that Xi would prefer to have Taiwan under the Harris-Biden administration, which is his own.

,you don’t know what’s gonna happen,” she said. “He’d rather do it to them than to me. Very simple.”
