President Donald Trump said at the White House Easter Egg Roll on Monday that Americans against the war with Iran are “foolish,” saying the conflict is “about one thing: Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.”
“We are obliterating their country. And I hate to do it, but we’re obliterating,” he said.
Trump said if he had his “choice,” he’d “take the oil.”
“Because it’s there for the taking — there’s not a thing they can do about it,” Trump said. “Unfortunately, the American people would like to see us come home. If it were up to me, I’d take the oil, I’d keep the oil, I’d make plenty of money. And I’d also take care of the people of Iran.”
“If it were up to me I’d like to keep the oil, I just don’t think the people of the United States would really understand,” he added.
