President Trump: “CNN, fake news."
CNN’s Kristen Holmes: “Are you willing to make a deal that does not include reopening the Strait of Hormuz, or is that now a top priority?”
Trump: “I would say it’s a very big priority because you see that’s — that’s one thing that’s a little different than other things. We can bomb the hell out of them. We can knock them out for a loop.
But to close the Strait, all you need is one terrorist that somehow has a truck loaded with. Because you can carry them in trucks, large trucks, a water mine, drop them in the water. And now you tell people that own ships that cost $1 billion to don’t worry about the mine. You can do that even just by saying, we put mines in the water. So, it’s not like the rest.
We can knock out their military. We already have. We’ve knocked out their navy, we’ve knocked out their air force completely. We knocked out 158 ships in three days. We’ve knocked out even their mine droppers. They don’t have any mind droppers anymore, but they put them on other boats and they could drop them.
I’m not even sure they have any mines there, by the way. I’m not sure. I’m — personally, they say there might be a — I don’t know, I don’t know, I think there might be none because they’re very good ◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊ artists. That’s why, for 47 years, they’ve been ◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊ other presidents and they haven’t done the job. And people are living in hell. You live in that country. They’re living in hell.
No, I think that 47 years of this stuff is long enough. They’re at the weakest point they’ve ever been. They have no navy. They have no air force. They have no anti-aircraft weaponry. They have no radar. They have no communication. In fact, the biggest problem we have in our negotiation is that they can’t communicate. I said to Steve, what are they saying? Sir, they can’t communicate. They have no method of communication. So we’re doing we’re communicating like they used to communicate 2,000 years ago with children, bringing a note back and forth.They have no communication.
But all I want to see is I want to have a safe world, and you’re not going to have a safe world. Israel will be gone, the Middle East will be gone, and then they’re coming for Europe. And I have to tell you, I’m very disappointed in NATO. Very. I think that NATO, I think it’s a mark on NATO that will never disappear, never disappear in my mind.
You know, they’re coming to see me on Wednesday. They’re going to say, oh, we’ll do this. We’ll do that. Now they all of a sudden want to send things, you know. But they said it loud and clear at the beginning when I spoke to U.K., of all I would have said, they would have been the first because they’ve been there, the oldest. And I say, yeah, I’d love to have a little help. I said, no sir, we’d rather wait till you win. I said, I don’t need help after we win. They have two old broken aircraft carriers. Barely work. I said, I guess we can use them. Who the hell knows?
I called the general. He didn’t even want them. He said, we don’t really need them. We got. We got the SS Abraham Lincoln, sir. We don’t need them. You know, we have in terms of technology, we had one day, 101 missiles going at 2,700 miles an hour aimed at the Abraham Lincoln, 101 missiles. Out of 101 missiles, 101 missiles were shot down. Unbelievable technology.
Ten years ago, five years ago. I don’t know if that would have been possible, but ten years ago, that wouldn’t have been that wouldn’t have been possible. 101 missiles heading to a ship that’s not that far off the coast. And out of the 101 missiles, we shot down all 101. We have weaponry. The Patriots are unbelievable. We have weaponry. That’s unbelievable.”
