Trump defends airstrikes on Iran: Iranians begged him to keep bombing, don’t stop!
The reporter is puzzled and asks: Why would Iranians want their infrastructure destroyed and electricity cut off? Isn’t this punishing the Iranian regime for its actions?
Trump: For freedom, they’re willing to endure all this. We’ve intercepted countless messages saying: “Please keep bombing. Hurry up!” (We’ve had numerous intercepts—please, keep bombing!) These people live right where bombs are exploding.
Trump claims he has a plan to destroy every bridge and power plant in Iran before using American taxpayers’ money to rebuild the country.
“We have a plan: by midnight tomorrow night, every bridge in Iran will be destroyed, every power plant will cease functioning, burn, explode, and can never be used again—I mean completely ruined. Destroyed completely before midnight. If we wanted to, we could do it in just four hours. But we don’t want to. In fact, we might even help them rebuild their nation. You know what? If that were the case, the last thing we’d want to start with is power plants—they’re the most expensive, of course bridges are costly too. Look at that bridge—the Karaj Bridge in Iran—just blew up.”
“We were almost close to a deal. Then I got calls from Mr. Wittkower, Mr. Kushner, and JD, saying they wanted to tear up the agreement. I told them, ‘It’s fine, no worries, don’t stress—just look out the window.’ Within 45 minutes, I ordered the destruction of the largest bridge. I ordered the demolition of the biggest bridge in the Middle East—specifically, the largest in Iran. Less than ten minutes after the order was given, the bridge collapsed.”
Reporter: Are there any types of civilian targets absolutely off-limits to attack? For example, schools, hospitals?
Trump: I don’t want to tell you that (I don’t want to tell you that).
During Easter, on the White House lawn, the reporter asks Melania: What would you like to say to children living in war zones?
Melania: “All of this is for their future. So they’ll be safe for years to come.”
Trump: We’re doing everything possible to protect their safety.
Old Trump also complained during the press conference: “The biggest problem in our negotiations is their inability to communicate. I asked Steve, what are they saying? ‘Sir, they can’t communicate. They have no way to communicate at all.’ So now, communication is as primitive as it was 2,000 years ago—kids passing notes back and forth (with children bringing a note back and forth).
Reporter: You said you want to seize Iran’s oil, but Americans want the U.S. military pulled back home.
Trump: Exactly. First and foremost, I’m a businessman. The Venezuela war lasted about 45 minutes. We seized hundreds of millions of barrels of crude oil. Winners should take spoils. Why shouldn’t we utilize this oil?
