Former President Donald Trump took to his social media app Truth Social to vow revenge in a hypothetical scenario where Iran succeeded in assassinating him.
“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”, Trump wrote. “If that does not happen, American Leaders will be considered ‘gutless’ cowards!”
Trump included a brief clip of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu speaking before a joint session of Congress on Wednesday. “Iran’s regime has been fighting America from the moment it came to power,” Netanyahu said. “As we recently learned, they even brazenly threatened to assassinate President Trump,” he added.
