Trump: We Would Have Been in a War with N. Korea Under Obama; Millions Would Have Been Killed

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:

TRUMP: "I mean, with South Korea we are paying about 60% of their military. They buy a missile system — we are doing great with north Korea, I have to say. We are doing great. You know, these dishonest people back there. What did I do? Three months ago. So for 80 years they have been working on this stuff. For 25 years they have been working on missiles and nuclear. They got nowhere. They wouldn’t even answer our president’s phone calls. When they call they told them don’t call us. And yes, I agree the rhetoric was unbelievably harsh at the beginning. But we have a very good relationship. We were going to war with north Korea. That is what was going to happen. Millions of people would have been killed. President Obama told me when I sat just before taking office. He said the single biggest problem this country has is North Korea. He said he was very close to going to war. But fortunately his time was up. His time was up. we would have been in a war. Millions of people would have been killed. You have Seoul, 30 million people. Millions of people would have been killed. And yes, I came in and took a very hard position. And you know what? Now we have this great relationship. And let’s see what happens. Let’s see what happens. Let’s see what happens. But if you think — so the fakeers are saying, they don’t know what to do. I got hostages back for nothing. Obama paid $1.8 bill. I got them back for nothing. We got the remains our great heroes back from many, many years. You don’t have any more nuclear testing. In fact they are closing up a lot of the sites. You don’t have rockets going up. You don’t have missiles going up. And you have people — I like Kim, he likes me. I guess that’s okay. Am I allowed to say that? We have come a long way since you know the term. Right? We have come a long way.
