In an extensive interview, the former president lays out an expansive vision to Just the News if he is elected to a second White House term ranging from Ukraine War to the southern border crisis.
Former President Donald Trump is sending some pointed messages to friends and foes alike: No, Nikki Haley is not on his vice presidential list because there isn’t one right now. Yes, if he returns to the White House European countries had better get ready to pay more for the Ukraine war. And both federal agencies and nonprofits that espouse antisemitic views and threaten Jews should prepare to lose federal funding or even their tax-exempt status.
In a wide-ranging interview with Just the News, the 45th president surveyed the sort of policies he’ll pursue if voters return him to office next November as the nation’s 47th president. He made clear securing the U.S. southern border is a top priority as is cutting off the sources of income from oil sales and reclaiming the unfrozen funds that he says has revived Iran’s terrorism activities across the globe on Joe Biden’s watch. Those activities include recent rocket and drone attacks from proxy groups targeting U.S. troops. The United States said Tuesday that it had shot down 12 attack drones and five missiles launched by the Iran-backed Houthis.
“Iran was allowed to get rich because Joe Biden allowed them to,” Trump told the "Just the News, No Noise" television show on Real America’s Voice. “So he could say whatever he wants. But he's the reason for this. He's an incompetent president. He's a compromised president, totally compromised. But he allowed them to get rich."
“But worse than being rich, because of the money, because of what they have, they will have within a short period of time nuclear weapons," Trump added. "And that is never something that can be allowed to happen.”

Hmmm, yes, a most likely next President talking about what’s going to happen to Iran when he’s in...when have I heard that before? And what happened upon his inauguration?
There was a great political cartoon that appeared in 1981 during the Carter-Reagan transition. It showed the leader of Iran and one of his ministers:
Minister: Your holiness, I have a joke for you.
Leader: Okay, tell me.
Minister: What is flat and glows?
Leader: I don't know, what?
Minister: Iran, after January 20.
Leader: I don't get it.
Minister: There are many of us who wish you would.
I’m relieved to hear him say he has not settled on a running mate, meaning Nikki Haley is just a rumor. If he had picked her, I wouldn’t be voting for him. If so, it would indicate he hasn’t learned a thing about having people on his team from the swamp.
“Because there isn’t a list yet”...
Would much prefer he just said “Nope.”.
In before Trump is called a neo- con.
He should pick whoever best helps him get re-elected. If NH is the best help, so be it.
He should also line up some solid cabinet picks this time. Political insiders who understand how to exercise power and protect the president. As a group, his cabinet picks were the worst.
