Donald Trump: “An escalation that can help lead to an end”

Iran’s killed many, many Americans, many, many people throughout the world for a long time, they were the bully of the Middle East. They were one of the bullies of the world. They’re not a bully anymore.

Don’t worry, we’ll take care of Cuba on our way back from Iran.

We’re going to come back from Iran, those beautiful ships. We’ll pass Cuba. We’ll have one of them stop about 50 yards off the coast. They’ll raise up their hands, and then we’re going to send Marco Rubio in to finish up the job.

The midterm election loss could prompt President Trump to seek a diplomatic breakthrough with North Korea even more eagerly.
