On the economic fallout of the war with Iran and rising gas prices, President Trump tells me “I think it’s fine. It’s a little glitch. We had to take this detour. I knew exactly what was going to happen with the detour.”
Asked about the war and if he’s worried about the risk here at home, President Trump tells me “I’m not worried about anything.”
In a phone call Trump tells me “everything is on the table” when asked if he would consider sending in special forces to seize Iran’s nuclear stockpile.
Trump tells me Iran was planning “to attack the entire Middle East. To take over the entire Middle East.”
President Trump calls me the next Iranian leader “is not going to last long” if they don’t get his approval. #ABCNews
