Trump: Iranian People Need Guns Will ‘Fight as Good as Anybody’ When They Have Them
"President Donald Trump said he’s “torn” about the Iranian people taking to the streets now, “because they lost 42,000 people in the first two weeks. I don’t really want to see that. They have to have guns. And I think they’re getting some guns. As soon as they have guns, they’ll fight as good as anybody there is.”

Trump added that “you can’t have an unarmed population against people with AK-47s and stand there, even if you have 250,000 people. So, you started it off by asking me would I like to see them? And I’m very torn on it, because they lost 42,000 people in the first two weeks. I don’t really want to see that. They have to have guns. And I think they’re getting some guns. As soon as they have guns, they’ll fight as good as anybody there is. But when you have people that are armed, and they have very good weapons on the other side, now, they’ve been depleted, a lot of the people fighting don’t want to fight anymore. They’re not getting paid anymore, from what I’m hearing, because we have obliterated them, like, in the military, we’ve done the same thing to them financially, economically. We don’t think they’re paying their soldiers and their guard anymore. So, they’ve got a lot of problems, but we’ll see what happens. We have all the cards.”
