President Donald Trump said Tuesday it’s a “good thing” that National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent resigned in protest of the Iran war because Kent thought “Iran was not a threat.”I read his statement,”
Trump said during a meeting at the White House with Irish Prime Minister Micheal Martin on St. Patrick’s Day. “I always thought he was a nice guy, but I always thought he was weak on security, very weak on security.”Kent served under Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, who has rejected “regime-change wars” for years.”I didn’t know him well, but I thought he seemed like a pretty nice guy, but when I read his statement, I realized that it’s a good thing that he’s out,” Trump said. “Because he said that Iran was not a threat.”Iran was a threat.Every
Every country realized what a threat Iran was. The question is whether or not they wanted to do something about it.
“Trump added there is no room for Iran to have nuclear weapon ambitions.”If I didn’t terminate Obama’s horrible deal that he made, the Iran nuclear deal, you would have had a nuclear war four years ago,” Trump continued.
“You would have had nuclear holocaust, and you would have had it again if we didn’t bomb the site.”Nor is there room in his administration for a doubter, Trump added.
So when somebody is working with us that says they didn’t think Iran was a threat: We don’t want those people,” he said.
“They’re not smart people, or they’re not savvy people.”Iran was a tremendous threat, and virtually every NATO nation” agreed, Trump concluded.
Kent announced his resignation in an X post earlier Tuesday.
