Trump Decimates Reporter Who Asked What May Be Worst Question Ever About Battle With Iran

President Donald Trump's main concern from the beginning of Operation Epic Fury against Iran was stopping the regime from getting a nuclear weapon. He thought that letting a lunatic death cult, which has chanted "Death to America" and killed hundreds of Americans over the past 47 years with their terror proxies, get such a weapon might pose a real danger.

Since the fight began, knowing about their highly enriched uranium and seeing that they may have ballistic missiles that might reach the US-UK military base Diego Garcia, also confirmed what a danger that posed to us.

Now, you would think that danger should be a concern for the media.

But, instead, during a White House briefing, one reporter went to the outer limits and asked Trump if he would use a nuclear weapon against Iran.

REPORTER: Would you use a nuclear weapon against Iran?

PRESIDENT TRUMP: No. Why would a stupid question like that be asked?

Trump looked at her like she had three heads, and rightly nuked her.

"Why would a stupid question like that be asked?" he replied.

"Why would I use a nuclear weapon when we’ve totally decimated Iran without it? A nuclear weapon should never be allowed to be used by anybody."

He's absolutely right. They have concerns about him? What about most of the media being honest about the threats from Iran? Or acknowledging that we're here now with Trump having to deal with it because of the actions of Barack Obama, which helped to prop up the mullahs without actually addressing the problem. Trump's main point in taking action there was to stop a nuclear weapon from being used.

Trump explained to the assemblage that the time pressure isn't on him, it's on the Iranian regime, as the blockade is costing them dearly. He's talking here about how if the Kharg Island oil operation is "shut in" and they have to stop the production, that could cost them permanent damage.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent spoke about what a problem that would be for them. That hits the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) big time in the wallet and is going to hurt them badly if they can't pay people.

Trump said the bottom line was, if they wouldn't make a deal, he could finish them up militarily, that he's hit most of the targets already.

I think, given the posturing we're seeing now from the Iranian leadership, that's likely to be how this finishes up.

Editor's Note: For decades, former presidents have been all talk and no action. Now, Donald Trump is eliminating the threat from Iran once and for all.
