Trump LOSES IT as he’s HAUNTED BY FUNERAL!!!
What was said
"I was surprised to see some Iranians crying, Trump said. I thought the people hated Khomeini. Maybe it's fake tears. Trump said if we wanted to, the US could strike Iran's leadership gathered for the funeral, but we won't because we want to preserve nuclear negotiations. One shot, we can take them all out."
Donald Trump told Axios he was shocked by the massive turnout and displays of grief at Ayatollah Khomeini's funeral, contradicting his expectation that Iranians hated their leader. Trump also revealed he considered striking Iran's assembled leadership at the funeral but chose not to preserve nuclear negotiations. The funeral drew tens of millions of attendees and official delegations from over 28 countries including China, Russia, Turkey, India, and Saudi Arabia.
