Video footage of then-private citizen Donald Trump warning in 2011 that “our president will start a war with Iran because he has absolutely no ability to negotiate” resurfaced Thursday night after the U.S. assassinated Iran’s top military leader and six others in a drone strike in Baghdad, sparking fears of a catastrophic regional and possibly global conflict.
Trump, of course, was referring to former President Barack Obama, who he called “weak and ineffective” and accused of attempting to start a war with Iran to boost his reelection chances.
