Trump brushes off latest Iran threat to assassinate him
Ever since Trump was in office the first time, it has been pretty clear that Iran would like to see him removed from this earth.
Those calls only became louder after Trump approved a strike against General Soleimani.
Iran just revealed its latest plan to take out Trump, which the president is not even taking seriously.
Kill Him Before the Election
In November, reports broke that Iran was trying to have Trump eliminated before the election took place.
Manhattan U.S. Attorney Damian Williams stated at the time, “Actors directed by the Government of Iran continue to target our citizens, including President-elect Trump, on U.S. soil and abroad. This has to stop.”
Then-FBI Director Christopher Wray added, “[Iran] has been conspiring with criminals and hitmen to target and gun down Americans on U.S. soil and that simply won’t be tolerated.”
This was not shocking, as Iran had to know that Trump becoming president was a worst-case scenario for the country.
Enemy Number One
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also recently spoke on the threats against Trump, declaring him atop the list of the terrorist nation’s enemies.
He stated, "He's a decisive leader. He never took the path that others took to try to bargain with them in a way that is weak, giving them basically a pathway to enrich uranium, which means a pathway to the bomb, padding it with billions and billions of dollars.
"He took up this fake agreement and basically tore it up. He killed Qasem Soleimani. He made it very clear, including now, 'You cannot have a nuclear weapon, which means you cannot enrich uranium.' He's been very forceful, so for them, he's enemy number one.”
Sunbathing President
The latest threat by Iran was to take out Trump by the pool, which Trump laughed off, stating that he has not been sunbathing in years.
Trump stated, “It’s been a long time. I don’t know, maybe I was around seven or so. I’m not too big into it.
“I guess it’s a threat. I’m not sure it’s a threat, actually, but perhaps it is.”
I would to see Iran try to get a drone inside our airspace to take out Trump, as it would give him the excuse to do what I believe needs to be done to Iran. That drone would be obliterated the second it fired up its propellers. It will never happen, though, as this is all hubris on the part of Iran, as it knows it has zero leverage and no room for error when it comes to its tumultuous relationship with the United States.
