Trump warned that the leaders of North Korea and Russia are “at the top of their game” — but that he “won’t do anything bad to Iran.”
“I know [Russian President Vladimir] Putin. I know President Xi [Jinping]. I know Kim Jong Un,” he said. “They’re at the top of their game; they’re tough; they’re smart; they’re vicious — and they’re going to protect their country,” the ex-president said during a conversation with Elon Musk Monday night.
“When they see a Kamala, or when they see a sleepy Joe, they can’t even believe it,” he speculated.
He also addressed Iran, saying that the US adversary “would not be attacking” if he were president. Tehran is suspected of planning a retaliatory attack for an Israeli airstrike.
“I don’t want to do anything bad to Iran,” the former president declared. “But they knew not to mess around. Iran was broke.”
