Oh Wow.
Trump ended an interview with NBC's Kristen Welker mid-conversation in Wisconsin, calling her a liar to her face before walking off.
Trump: "The elections are like a 3rd world country. You're Crooked...let's call it Quits . I've had enough."
Welker asked him to stay, saying she had traveled to Wisconsin for the sit-down.
Trump: "I've sat in the rain with you for an Hour! I've given you enough time. You ought to straighten out your press. You know what? A country can never be great with a dishonest press. Let's GO."
President Trump not happy that audio wasn’t working in the NBC interview.
Trump to NBC: "I do not consider the naval blockade on Iran a war, but if someone wants to describe it as a war, I expect they can do that."
Trump to NBC: If we do not reach an agreement with Iran, we will further weaken the Iranian military until our forces can safely take the uranium. We will keep US forces in the region until we reach a final agreement with Iran. We have completely destroyed the Iranian army, and I believe they only have about 21% or 22% of the missile stock they had before the war.
Trump to NBC: Iran's economy is collapsing and the costs it will bear are unsustainable.
Trump told NBC he believes Mojtaba Khamenei, Iran's new supreme leader, is "younger, and I think he is more rational." When asked whether he would be willing to speak directly with Mojtaba, Trump said: "I would do it if he wants, but I have not spoken to him directly." - NBC
NOW: President Trump tells NBC that Washington and Tehran are nearing a breakthrough, saying the two sides are “very close” to reaching an agreement.
Trump also insisted that Lebanon remains part of the broader discussions and said the U.S. will not ease or remove sanctions on Iran until a final deal is fully secured.
I want to point something out from yesterday:
Tasnim, which is affiliated with the IRGC, reported that due to Israeli strikes in Lebanon, “the Iranian negotiating team WILL suspend talks and the exchange of texts through mediators.” The key word was “will.”
A short time later, NBC’s headline read:
“Iran suspends talks with the U.S.”
