WATCH/READ: President Trump’s Pitch-Perfect Speech on Iran

DB Daily Update ^ | David Blackmon

[EyesOfTX]

If America had anything resembling an honest, real media establishment, President Donald Trump’s speech on Iran today would be roundly hailed as one of the greatest, most pitch-perfect presidential addresses in modern times. – But of course, what we actually have in American is an utterly corrupt media establishment that is all-consumed with Trump Derangement Syndrome. Thus, all the hacks will do is parrot the approved talking points provided to them by the Democrat/media/Deep State Axis of Disinformation.

So, as courtesy to the thousands of loyal readers who have given the Campaign Update its three greatest months ever since October, here follows a video of the full speech, followed by a complete and unfiltered transcript of the President’s remarks. First, the video:

Ronna McDaniel ✔ @GOPChairwoman “For far too long, all the way back to 1979 to be exact, nations have tolerated Iran's destructive and destabilizing behavior in the Middle East and beyond. Those days are over.”

Fantastic address from @realDonaldTrump!

Full Transcript of the President’s Remarks [emphasis added]:

As long as I am President of the United States, Iran will never be allowed to have a nuclear weapon.

Good morning. I’m pleased to inform you: The American people should be extremely grateful and happy that no Americans were harmed in last night’s attack by the Iranian regime. We suffered no casualties, all of our soldiers are safe, and only minimal damage was sustained at our military bases. Our great American forces are prepared for anything. Iran appears to be standing down, which is a good thing for all parties concerned and a very good thing for the world.

No American or Iraqi lives were lost because of the precautions taken, the dispersal of forces, and an early warning system that worked very well. I salute the incredible skill and courage of America’s men and women in uniform.

For far too long — all the way back to 1979, to be exact — nations have tolerated Iran’s destructive and destabilizing behavior in the Middle East and beyond. Those days are over. Iran has been the leading sponsor of terrorism, and their pursuit of nuclear weapons threatens the civilized world. We will never let that happen.

Last week, we took decisive action to stop a ruthless terrorist from threatening American lives. At my direction, the United States military eliminated the world’s top terrorist, Qasem Soleimani. As the head of the Quds Force, Soleimani was personally responsible for some of the absolutely worst atrocities.

He trained terrorist armies, including Hezbollah, launching terrorist strikes against civilian targets. He fueled bloody civil wars all across the region. He viciously wounded and murdered thousands of U.S. troops, including the planting of roadside bombs that maim and dismember their victims.

Soleimani directed the recent attacks on U.S. personnel in Iraq that badly wounded four service members and killed one American, and he orchestrated the violent assault on the U.S. embassy in Baghdad. In recent days, he was planning new attacks on American targets, but we stopped him.

Soleimani’s hands were drenched in both American and Iranian blood. He should have been terminated long ago. By removing Soleimani, we have sent a powerful message to terrorists: If you value your own life, you will not threaten the lives of our people.

As we continue to evaluate options in response to Iranian aggression, the United States will immediately impose additional punishing economic sanctions on the Iranian regime. These powerful sanctions will remain until Iran changes its behavior.

In recent months alone, Iran has seized ships in international waters, fired an unprovoked strike on Saudi Arabia, and shot down two U.S. drones.

Iran’s hostilities substantially increased after the foolish Iran nuclear deal was signed in 2013, and they were given $150 billion, not to mention $1.8 billion in cash. Instead of saying “thank you” to the United States, they chanted “death to America.” In fact, they chanted “death to America” the day the agreement was signed.

Then, Iran went on a terror spree, funded by the money from the deal, and created hell in Yemen, Syria, Lebanon, Afghanistan, and Iraq. The missiles fired last night at us and our allies were paid for with the funds made available by the last administration. The regime also greatly tightened the reins on their own country, even recently killing 1,500 people at the many protests that are taking place all throughout Iran.

The very defective JCPOA expires shortly anyway, and gives Iran a clear and quick path to nuclear breakout. Iran must abandon its nuclear ambitions and end its support for terrorism. The time has come for the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Russia, and China to recognize this reality.

They must now break away from the remnants of the Iran deal -– or JCPOA –- and we must all work together toward making a deal with Iran that makes the world a safer and more peaceful place. We must also make a deal that allows Iran to thrive and prosper, and take advantage of its enormous untapped potential. Iran can be a great country.

Peace and stability cannot prevail in the Middle East as long as Iran continues to foment violence, unrest, hatred, and war. The civilized world must send a clear and unified message to the Iranian regime: Your campaign of terror, murder, mayhem will not be tolerated any longer. It will not be allowed to go forward.

Today, I am going to ask NATO to become much more involved in the Middle East process. Over the last three years, under my leadership, our economy is stronger than ever before and America has achieved energy independence. These historic accompliments [accomplishments] changed our strategic priorities. These are accomplishments that nobody thought were possible. And options in the Middle East became available. We are now the number-one producer of oil and natural gas anywhere in the world. We are independent, and we do not need Middle East oil.

The American military has been completely rebuilt under my administration, at a cost of $2.5 trillion. U.S. Armed Forces are stronger than ever before. Our missiles are big, powerful, accurate, lethal, and fast. Under construction are many hypersonic missiles.

The fact that we have this great military and equipment, however, does not mean we have to use it. We do not want to use it. American strength, both military and economic, is the best deterrent.

Three months ago, after destroying 100 percent of ISIS and its territorial caliphate, we killed the savage leader of ISIS, al-Baghdadi, who was responsible for so much death, including the mass beheadings of Christians, Muslims, and all who stood in his way. He was a monster. Al-Baghdadi was trying again to rebuild the ISIS caliphate, and failed.

Tens of thousands of ISIS fighters have been killed or captured during my administration. ISIS is a natural enemy of Iran. The destruction of ISIS is good for Iran, and we should work together on this and other shared priorities.

Finally, to the people and leaders of Iran: We want you to have a future and a great future — one that you deserve, one of prosperity at home, and harmony with the nations of the world. The United States is ready to embrace peace with all who seek it.

I want to thank you, and God bless America. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you.

[End]

That is all.

The stooge media might as well start calling him the Great Orange Satan.

I don't think the Left has even begun to chimp out over Trump's statement yet. They're probably too shell-shocked from the verbal bombing they just heard. What are they gonna do - 'OK, back to impeaching Orange Man'? 'It's all Trump's fault anyway'? 'Look! A squirrel!' Their pettiness, subversion, and self-serving tantrums have already all but guaranteed November's election to turn into a prison rape on them. They've tried for five years to mine dirt on Trump, and all they've produced is second and third-hand heresay and innuendo, and people are fed up with the 24/7 lib fibfest. Trump fishes while they cut stale bait.

[dfwgator]

LOL, be funny if he did his speech like the Bush "Message to Iraq" from SNL:



"You see, your leader – the godless liar, Saddam Hussein – is nothing more than a hyena in the skin of a lion. He thinks to frighten us, like sheep, with his loud braying – nah gah do it! America’s no sheep waiting to be seized by a hyena! Rather, it’s a great scorpion! Which deals a deadly sting to those who would crush it! Stinging! Stinging! Stinging!"

You know, I’ve been in cose consultation with Speaker Foley, Senator Dole and Mitchell over there, in that place where they are down there! And, like me, they agree: the American people are not afraid of war. They don’t fear death. But, rather, welcome death as a glorious martyrdom The reward of those who die in battle for the one true God, Jesus Christ! And your leader, the hyena, Saddma Hussein, thinks he can climb into the pit with the American cobra, and charm it with the music of his lies. But remember, Mr. Hussein: the venom of the American cobra spits far and true! Not spittin’ yet – wouldn’t be prudent! But, rest assured, that cobra will strike! [ hisses ]

As the prophet has written: [ speaks in Iraqi ] “Your children shall wander aimlessly. There reason shall desert them, and they shall not know where there fathers’ bones are buried.”

You know, this summer I was up in Kennenbunkport, Maine – relaxing, in that relaxation mode – while our armies, our great armies, lay poised on the brink of a great war. My wife, Bar, turned to me, and what she said speaks for Americans everywhere. “Jackals”, said Bar. “Jackals will slake their thirst on the blood of Iraqi soldiers, and their entrails shall stink in the sun and be food for hogs!”

"So, to sum up: Hussein, lion’s clothing – really a hyena; America, both a scorpion and a cobra [ hisses ]; jackals, slaking their thirst, entrails stinking, food for hogs. Good night!"

I think you should start a blog, HG.

I just watched the entire video of the President’s address. If you’ve only read the text, please watch the video. He is amazing and, indeed, this was a pitch-perfect presidential address. What an amazing man.

I LOVE that he called out and severely chastised the Iran-loving, Iran-appeasing O’Bastard administration for giving them $150 billion to spread terror throughout the middle east and the world. Way to go, President Trump!

One item jumped out from his address: “Under construction are many hypersonic missiles.” We hear and read all the time about Chinese and Russian advances in hypersonic missiles, but very little about American efforts. We seem to have completed the R&D phase and testing phase and are now in the production phase. This development must be shrouded in secrecy the way the SR-71 and the F117 stealth fighter were.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

I just started watching it from the beginning, but let me guess...After it’s over the treason media scumrats in the audience will immediately ask him about impeachment and if he killed Soleimani solely to distract from impeachment.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

Best line in that movie:

“You think Omar was a stoolie because SOSA SAID SO??”

LOL!

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Someone took out the GOOD part about the previous administration! Or did I just overlook it?

Nope! I was watching carefully to see if he had anything good to say about the O'Bastard administrations. There was NOTHING but chastisement. Well done, Mr. President.

Liberals are going to explode in rage over the excoriation of their beloved idol. They are going to be forced to justify what Obama & Co did.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

What are they gonna do

We are going to hear endless, breathless claims of "Wag the Dog." Minor problem for them: we don't have a war going on. THEY attacked U.S. Territory (the embassy) which is an act of war. We "Terminated" their terrorist leader.

PS. I LOVE the fact that Trump said we "terminated" him. We didn't kill, eliminate, destroy or any other synonym. Nope, we TERMINATED him.

[SkyPilot]

Last night: WE ARE AT WAR!!!

Today: _{Hey, no blood no foul.}

[ProtectOurFreedom]

...he killed Soleimani solely to distract from impeachment.

Not only that, but he carefully arranged and orchestrated the attack on our own embassy so he could then kill Soleimani to distract from impeachment AND win more votes from people who want to Keep America Great.

You know it's coming.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

LOL! Actually Fauxcahontas half-sleeves already said it lol lol....

[headless_thompson_gunner]

[ArtDodger]

The attack saved them some face among those not watching carefully and they could lie to their people by saying they killed hundreds of Americans. Who in their country is going to contradict their leaders?

[USS Alaska]

As long as I am President of the United States, Iran will never be allowed to have a nuclear weapon.

As subtle as a MOAB.

No nukes for you bad boys, unless we send them to you.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

Blatant evidence the last POTUS was a traitor. He was clearly financing terror via Iran. And did you hear what else he did? The Israelis were going to kill Soleimani and Obama WARNED Iran!! BLATANT protection of a terrorist who killed and maimed our own troops! And Trump gets impeached for making a freakin’ phone call?

Look at this....

[Yaelle]

Thanks for the transcript. Other then some braggy bits, I do not see how anyone can find fault with this speech. But find fault they will.

[Yaelle]

Brilliant. I hope he does get a chance to use your line. Maybe at a debate.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Great speech! 😊

[Viking2002]

'THEY attacked U.S. Territory (the embassy) which is an act of war.'

That is THE one thing you don't hear the lamestream media reference in all of this. You had the stooges of one of the world's deadliest Muzz terrorists - a member of the Iranian government - go after our embassy in Iraq. The media will equivocate and rationalize all manner of reasons why they did and how our response was not even-handed, but they'll never bring themselves to admit that this was another state-sponsored assault on a diplomatic outpost on foreign soil. Trump did what that chickenshit Obama should have done, and the message was clear. The same as when they took our embassy in Tehran in '79 and that milquetoast Carter sat on his hands - Reagan told the Ayatollah to go scratch his ass and the hostages were out of there the day he got sworn in.
