Donald Trump said Sunday that if no peace deal is reached with Iran in the next 48 hours, “we’re blowing up the entire country.”
The president made the threat Sunday to ABC News’ senior political correspondent Rachel Scott in response to a question regarding whether his previously stated timeline of two to three weeks for a deal was still accurate.
Concerns have been raised about targeting civilian infrastructure in Iran and the consequences that could bring.
Genuinely the first thing I thought when he was elected. They’re going to hand this deranged lunatic the codes and he will find any reason to use them just to prove how powerful he is.
And I’ve also been told I was overreacting at every turn, until he did exactly what I said he would do. And then they said I was overreacting about the next thing he ended up doing. “Of course he’s going to give up the presidency if he loses the election, he’s not going to try anything weird or illegal, don’t be ridiculous!”
Yeah, it’s been a very long, exhausting decade.
