Trump Meets with Iraqi PM Ali al-Zaidi: It Was Important to Me to Have Somebody in There That Can Do the Job, and Do It Well

EXCERPT:

TRUMP: “Well, thank you very much. We've had already a good meeting. We're going to decide to do a little lunch. It wasn't scheduled, but we are going to do it on the fly, because we have a tremendous chemistry together. The prime minister of Iraq has been amazing. He won an election that a lot of people didn't anticipate could be won by anybody else other than another person who was not in my opinion, a good person, not good for America. I don't think good for Iraq. And I played a role. And I mean, it was very important to me to have somebody get in there that could do the job and do it well. And we have a fantastic champion, a new champion.”
