“They tried twice. Well I got him first.”
Democrats are complaining that Trump bombed Iran. Now Iran’s leader is dead. Why would he do that?
It might the 47 years of Iranian Islamic terror which led to the deaths of over 800 U.S. military personnel, not to mention civilian deaths.
And there’s also the time that Iran tried to assassinate Trump. Not perhaps the best decision.
Jonathan Karl of ABC News tweeted the following.
In another phone call this evening, President Trump told me this about the death of Ayatollah Khamenei:
“I got him before he got me. They tried twice. Well I got him first.”
Not very sporting of Trump. Shouldn’t Iran have gotten three tries to kill Trump before he fought back?
