People Stunned After Trump Makes Ludicrous Claim About What He Would’ve Done if the 2020 Election Wasn’t ’Stolen’
Former President Donald Trump frequently makes outrageous statements, so why should his speech at the Republican Jewish Coalition’s annual conference last weekend be any different?
Here, he boasted about unilaterally pulling out of the Iran Nuclear Deal and assassinating Qasem Soleimani, leader of the Revolutionary Guard while simultaneously claiming he could have been able to make a deal with Iran if the election had it not been for those dastardly Democrats stealing it from him.
“We eliminated the world’s top terrorist, the most brutal terrorist of them all. The Iranian butcher Soleimani. We eliminate within,” Trump boasted. “He’s the father of the roadside bomb. Whenever you see a soldier or civilian or anybody without their legs, without the arms. He’s the one. He caused 94 percent of it, they say. He was, he loved those roadside bombs. That’s what he loved. And he’s not with us any longer,” Trump said, and then according to Mediaite going on to say:
“Just as I promised, I withdrew from the horrendous Iran nuclear deal. Unfortunately, they didn’t do anything with it. They didn’t do anything with it. It was supposed to be I thought it was my greatest gift to Israel. The problem is this administration did absolutely nothing. They let them go and make. They would have never, ever been close. I mean, they are very close to having a nuclear weapon.”
“Remember Kim Jong Un? We got along with him. Everything was good. If Hillary Clinton got in. You would have had a nuclear war. I got in and everything was fine,” Trump said.

Then he set his sights back on Iran.
“But dealing with Iran is going to be a very big problem. And frankly, North Korea right now is a very big problem also. You see what’s happening there is not like in this group of people. I impose crippling oil sanctions on Iran and crush their resources to a level that nobody ever thought possible. And the funding from terror, they had 70 million, 70 billion. Think of this in the bank and. When I left, they were broke. They were stone-cold broke. ‘China don’t buy. None of you’ buy,” he said.
I don’t know how many fact-checks that would fail but I’m sure it’s more than a few. But Trump wasn’t done.
“They were desperate to make a deal. We would have had a deal within one week after the election if the election weren’t rigged, we would have had a deal. One week after that election and we did that through strength, not through weakness.”
Um, yeah, sure. Trump apparently doesn’t know the meaning of the word “farce.”
Politico’s Alex Isenstadt summed up Trump’s speech by writing, “He claimed he would have brought Iran into the Abraham Accords, the diplomatic framework he had used to normalize Arab nation relations with Israel, glossing over his record decrying diplomacy with the country.”

Trump’s ridiculous claim that he could have made a deal with Iran received a beautiful roasting, the most magnificent roasting ever on social media.
Trump pulled out of the Iran deal. Assassinated Soleimani. Threatened the destruction of Iran's cultural sites. And sharply criticized efforts to engage the country diplomatically.
If another GOP campaign said this, or Biden, I'd be curious what the reaction would be https://t.co/OcshEs3g6K

If there's one American leader Iran trusts with major diplomatic deals, it's Donald Trump https://t.co/NdYyObkQmA

this is roughly akin to saying you would bring Russia into NATO https://t.co/X8NcLOXLrp
