President Trump updates reporters on Iran and the pilot rescue mission
President Trump, while shredding American allies for refusing to get involved with Iran, told reporters on Monday that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un would call Joe Biden “mentally retarded.”
Trump tore into NATO and the United States’s Asian allies during a press conference on the Iran war following the successful search and rescue operation for an F-15E Strike Eagle crew that was downed over Iran.
Trump previously asked NATO and Asia for help securing the Strait of Hormuz from the Iranian blockade, but they refused to get involved in the war. Trump has said that it was a test for NATO, and they failed.
The President went on to slam these other countries after they “refused to get involved in the decapitation of Iran,” suggesting that they buy oil from the United States or take care of the Strait of Hormuz themselves. “You’ll have to start learning how to fight for yourself, the U.S.A. won’t be there to help you anymore, just like you weren’t there for us,” he said in a Truth Social post.
The President has repeatedly called NATO a “paper tiger” and said that we don’t need them, as reports suggest he’s considering withdrawing the US from the alliance.
When asked about his relationship with NATO on Monday, Trump went off on the alliance, again calling it a “paper tiger” and accusing them of going “out of their way not to help.” He then slammed Australia, Japan, and South Korea for refusing to provide assistance despite all the US does for them before comparing his relationship with North Korea to that of Joe Biden.
“We’ve got 50,000 soldiers in Japan to protect them from North Korea. We have 45,000 soldiers in South Korea to protect us from Kim Jong Un, who I get along with very well as you know,” Trump said, revealing the damning but accurate description Kim Jong Un had for Joe Biden.
“Do you notice he said very nice things about me? He used to call Joe Biden a mentally retarded person. Okay, so don’t tell me about your stuff. Joe Biden, he said, he’s a mentally retarded person. He was so nasty to Joe Biden. It was terrible, but to me, he likes Trump,” Trump continued.
WATCH:
Reporter: You’ve voiced your displeasure with NATO in the past. Is there a danger to the US not being the de facto leader of the alliance, and then other powers within the Alliance then getting the decision making when it comes to wars and nuclear weapons?
Trump: No, it’s not a danger. NATO’s, look, we went to. NATO. I didn’t ask very strongly. I just said, “Hey, if you want to help, great.” “No, no, no, we will not help.” I said, “That’s all right. You don’t want to help?” because I’ve always said NATO is a paper tiger. See, NATO is a paper tiger. Putin’s not afraid of NATO. Putin’s afraid of us, very afraid of us. And he’s explained it to me a lot of times. I got to know him very well. I know him very well. NATO is a paper tiger. NATO is us, and when we needed them— but we didn’t need them by the way, we didn’t need them obviously because they haven’t helped at all. Just the opposite. They’ve actually gone out of their way not to help.
They didn’t even want to give us landing strips. Think of it. And it’s not just NATO. You know who else didn’t help us? South Korea didn’t help us. You know who else didn’t help us? Australia didn’t help us. You know who else didn’t help us? Japan. We’ve got 50,000 soldiers in Japan to protect them from North Korea. We have 45,000 soldiers in South Korea to protect us from Kim Jong Un, who I get along with very well as you know. Do you notice he said very nice things about me? He used to call Joe Biden a mentally retarded person. Okay, so don’t tell me about your stuff. Joe Biden, he said, he’s a mentally retarded person. He was so nasty to Joe Biden. It was terrible, but to me, he likes Trump.
And you notice how nice things are with North Korea, it’s very nice, but we have 45,000 people, soldiers in harm’s way, and right next to Kim Jong Un with a lot of nuclear weapons, 45, which should have never happened if a certain President, I’m not going to mention this president, because I happen to like him, believe it or not. But if a certain President did his job, Kim Jong Un would not have nuclear weapons right now, but they’re all afraid to do their job properly.
But just to conclude, and just to finish, Japan didn’t help us, Australia didn’t help us, South Korea didn’t help us. And then you get to NATO, NATO didn’t help us. There were some countries that did. Now, countries that have been good, now, you could also say they’re got to be a little bit more involved, because they’re in the territory. But Saudi Arabia has been excellent, Qatar has been excellent, UAE has been excellent, Bahrain, Kuwait.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, Trump also went off on NATO last week, stating, “We’re never going to need them.” This came amid reports that the President is furious and “disgusted” with NATO and has said pulling out of the alliance is now “beyond reconsideration.”
