Trump: 'We're not looking for regime change' in Iran

President Trump on Monday sounded an optimistic note about future negotiations with Iran, saying at a press conference in Japan that he's not looking for regime change despite increasing tensions between the two countries.

"I’m not looking to hurt Iran at all. I’m looking to have Iran say, ‘no nuclear weapons,'" Trump said during a press conference in Japan.

The president, who as recently as last weekend threatened that war would be "the official end of Iran," appeared far more welcoming to sitting down with the country's leaders. But the two sides have shown few signs of coming to the table as the U.S. readies to deploy additional troops to the region.

In making the case for a renegotiated nuclear pact with Tehran, Trump echoed the same logic that he's used to argue that North Korea will eventually give up its nuclear weapons, thus far to no avail.

"I think we’ll make a deal," Trump said Monday. "I think Iran — again, I think Iran has tremendous economic potential. And I look forward to letting them get back to the stage where they can show that.

Hey dumbfuck you had that already. You're just a pissy little man child who's upset that Obama was the one to get those things.

I'll think about listening. But he lies all the time, and this last set of statements should be considered lies like all the rest of his puffy pronouncements.

everything Obama had accomplished in getting Iran to sign the no more nukes treaty. Just like he slapped his name on hotels that he didn't own for a hefty licensing fee, Trump is trying to take credit for Obama's work by making a few tweaks and changing the treaty name.

and then proclaiming those cars are "brand spanking new, just off the showroom floor."

Another version of plagiarizing some one else's work, which seems to run in that no-effort family.
