MSNBC reports “BREAKING NEWS” after one of their anchors had a 15-minute phone call with President Trump.
Here’s what he revealed to Stephanie Ruhle:
• “He said that Iran was two weeks away from having a nuclear bomb and they would use it.”
• “He said that we could leave the war right now, we could walk away tomorrow because we have just decimated most of the country and their power. But he said the regime would rebuild. It would take him about 10 years. But that’s not an acceptable situation, which is why he thinks we should stay.”
• “He said absolutely none of our allies in NATO have helped with support as it relates to the war. He said we don’t need their help, but they’ve proven themselves to be a paper tiger.”
• “He says Zelensky is very difficult to deal with. He says Zelensky is more difficult to deal with than Putin is. And he said Putin has also shown that he’s not afraid of Europe, at this point, or our European allies.”
• “He said originally [Republicans] wanted to run against Jasmine Crockett [for the Texas Senate], but Talarico can be easily defeated, whether it’s Ken Paxton or John Cornyn.”
• “He referred to Talarico as a ‘whack job.’”
• “He said [the ballroom] is under budget and ahead of schedule… They plan to have future inaugurations in that ballroom since it’s going to be drone-proof and bulletproof.”
• “I asked him about those comments he made about Gavin Newsom and dyslexia. I gave him the opportunity to sort of take those comments back… He didn’t take the comments back.”
• “He said [Democrats] are the ones standing in the way of funding [DHS]. ‘If you don’t like your long line at the airport, look no further than Democrats.’ And that’s not a surprise that he would say that.”
