You selectively quoted him, I countered with showing he actually said “no, no nuclear weapons for Saudi Arabia”, and then you change the goalposts again. So typical.
A poor rebuttal. Trump takes the stance that everybody’s going to have nuclear weaponry, so everybody may as well have nuclear weaponry. The very same interview that I quoted from. Too dumb, Trump sheep.And you literally left out the rest of what he said. He said they needed to defend themselves. Cooper kept pushing him to say he was ok with it. For anyone wanting to see the actual transcript, in its entirety, here it is-I literally quoted his fatass in the post directly above yours.
COOPER: So some proliferation is OK?
TRUMP: No, no, not proliferation. I hate nuclear more than any. My uncle was a professor was at MIT, used to (AUDIO GAP) nuclear, he used to tell me about the problem.
COOPER: But that’s contradictory about Japan and South Korea.
TRUMP: (AUDIO GAP) Iran is going to have it very — within…
COOPER: But that’s proliferation.
TRUMP: Excuse me, one of the dumbest I’ve ever seen signed ever, ever, ever by anybody, Iran is going to have it within 10 years. Iran is going to have it. I thought it was a very good interview in The New York Times.
COOPER: So you have no problem with Japan and South Korea having…
TRUMP: I thought…
(CROSSTALK)
COOPER: … nuclear weapons.
TRUMP: At some point we have to say, you know what, we’re better off if Japan protects itself against this maniac in North Korea, we’re better off, frankly, if South Korea is going to start to protect itself, we have…
COOPER: Saudi Arabia, nuclear weapons?
TRUMP: Saudi Arabia, absolutely.
COOPER: You would be fine with them having nuclear weapons?
TRUMP: No, not nuclear weapons, but they have to protect themselves or they have to pay us.
