Trump: If Iran Doesn’t Behave, We’ll Go Right Back To Dropping Bombs
President Trump clarified how tentative the recent deal with Iran is during a photo op with the president of Egypt at the G-7 on Wednesday. “No, it’s not final. It’s a memorandum of understanding. And if I don’t like it, we’ll go back to shooting at them, dropping bombs on their head. What do you expect?” Trump told a reporter. “If I don’t like it, if they don’t behave, we’ll go right back to dropping bombs right smack in the middle of their head.”
REPORTER: Stephen, is the text of the agreement now final, or are you still — 11:09 – PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: No, it’s not final. It’s a memorandum of understanding. And if I don’t like it, we’ll go back to shooting at them, dropping bombs on their head. What do you expect? If I don’t like it, if they don’t behave, we’ll go right back to dropping bombs right smack in the middle of their head. OK? Because they’ve misbehaved for 47 years. All right. REPORTER: Does it include — TRUMP: But nobody could have made this deal. I mean, the JCPOA done by Obama, he handed them $ 1.7 billion in cash. Gave them hundreds of millions of dollars. Hundreds of — gave them billions and billions of dollars. But he gave them $ 1.7 billion in cash, green cash, from banks into a Boeing 757 and flew it into Iran. And they stood at the plane. I have pictures of it, like, “Oh my, look at this money he’s giving us.” He tried to bribe his way out. I didn’t do that. Nobody mentions that. $ 1.7 billion and hundreds of millions of dollars. They tried to bribe their way out of it. And you know what the Iranians did? They laughed at Obama and they said, “He’s a stupid son of a bitch.” OK, thank you very much. Thank you. TRUMP: I’d like your first question today. REPORTER: Will you support Egypt’s rights, water security? TRUMP: Well, that’s what we’re going to be talking about. You know, listen, how and who? That’s what we’re talking about. Of course, I support Egypt. He’s a friend of mine from day one. You know, I met him early in the campaign, when crooked Hillary and I were running against each other, right? And I was told that the president of Egypt is here. It was a big deal. It’s still a big deal for me to be with the great president of Egypt, but not as big as it used to be before I ran. So he was in a hotel, and I met him, and we fell in love, deeply in love. And he didn’t even want to see Hillary. He said, “You’re going to win. I don’t want to meet her.” He said, “You’re going to win.” He didn’t want to see her. Remember that? So we had a good relationship right from the — no, we met. We didn’t know each other before that. We had great chemistry, and I stayed twice as long as I was supposed to. Took up her time. And then when it was her time, he didn’t want to meet with her, but he did because he’s a gentleman. But it lasted about one minute.
