CSI: American Carnage (Sunday, June 23, 2019)
WASHINGTON — Donald shouts over the thwacka thwacka thwacka of the heliocopter as reporters cluster in front of him. Mr. President! Mr. President! Donald shouts, Tariffs! Obviously doing very well because we’re taking in billions and billions of dollars from China. The bags are rolling in because of the respect. We would be from others, and we might be from others, but billions of dollars are coming in from China. So there is that and on the Iran thing, I said, Everybody, we will meet. One thing I want to know, How many people will die? Just so you know, I come from New York City. In New York City, we have a lot of Iranians, many Iranians, they are called Persians, many people don’t know that, Persians, and they’re great people. I have friends that are Iranian — many friends. Living in New York City, you meet many Iranians. They’re very smart. They’re very ambitious. They have tremendous — they’re high-quality people. But I have many friends that are Iranian. I don’t want to kill 150 Iranians. I understand it. I don’t want to kill 150 of anything or anybody, unless it’s absolutely necessary. Sometimes you have to kill 150 people. But sometimes you don’t. Hopefully, we can get Iran back onto an economic track that’s fantastic, where they’re a really wealthy nation, which would be a wonderful thing. Mr. President! Mr. President! Will you be talking about Iran? Donald shouts, I’ll be talking about Iran at Camp David, yeah. We have a series of meetings, and, more importantly, a series of very well connected phone calls. We have a great phone system up there, and — as you know. So I’ll be doing a lot of work. Look, Iran, right now, is an economic mess. They’re going through hell. The sanctions have hit them hard. More sanctions are going to be put on — a lot more. It’s hard to believe you can even put on. But it’s a mess. All I want is no nuclear. Under the horrible Obama deal, he gave them a $150 billion. He gave them $1.8 billion in cash money. Think of that — in cash. Many planeloads of cash. He gave them $1.8 billion in cash money, and he got nothing. So we’ll start all over. We could have a deal with them very quickly, 15 minutes, if they want to do it, 35 minutes. I — it’s up to them. But if Iran wants to become a wealthy nation again, become a prosperous nation — we’ll call it “Let’s make Iran great again.” Does that make sense? Make Iran great again. Persia. Once was a big deal. Even with the moolahs, who I’ve heard are not doing so great. Some say they’re tough. A lot of people don’t agree. That’s okay. But they’re never going to do it if they think, in five or six years, they’re going to have the nuclear. I know too much about nuclear — a lot about nuclear — and let me just tell you, nuclear is something and they’re not going to have the nuclear, right. If that’s — and it has very little to do with the oil. And when they agree to that, they are going to have a wealthy country, they’re going to be so happy, and I’m going to be their best friend. I hope that happens. I hope that happens, but it may not. – Sunday, June 23, 2019
