President Trump Delivers Remarks, Aug. 19, 2026

Published | Video Starts at 32:46

If I were president I wouldn't have allowed it. But he's got him. I get along with him very well. I can't let Iran have a nuclear weapon. And I know Kim Jong Un very well and he's going to be fine. As long as we have a smart president, he's going to be fine. If we have a dumb president then he's probably not going to be so fine. (32:46–32:52)
