‘If that does not happen, American Leaders will be considered gutless cowards!’
By Joe Kovacs
Former President Donald Trump posted an eye-opening message online Thursday, calling for the U.S. to eradicate Iran if the Islamic republic were ever to assassinate him.
While American authorities were made aware of an Iranian assassination plot against Trump before the July 13 rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, during which the ex-commander in chief was shot in the ear, a connection between the plot and the shooting has yet to be established.
Trump said of Iran: “If they do ‘assassinate President Trump,’ which is always a possibility, I hope that America obliterates Iran, wipes it off the face of the Earth — If that does not happen, American Leaders will be considered ‘gutless’ cowards!”
Trump attached his message to a video clip of Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who addressed a joint session of Congress on Wednesday.
