Speaking about the situation in the Middle East, Trump said that Tehran is negotiating and “very much wants to get a deal” but is afraid to admit it publicly.
“They’re negotiating and they really want to make a deal, but they’re afraid to say it because they think their people are going to kill them. They’re also afraid that we’re going to kill them,” Trump said. He went on to state that he had never seen a leader of a country who wanted so little to be in that position as the Iranian leader.
THIS IS HILARIOUS
“Iran wanted to make me their Supreme leader but I refused and said no thanks”

“There’s never been a leader of a country who wanted the job less than the one who leads Iran. I don’t want it. We’re listening to some of the things they’re saying, we’re hearing them very clearly. They’re saying, ‘I don’t want it. We’d like you to be the next supreme leader.’ No thanks, I don’t want that,” Trump said.
His remarks come amid continued war and growing speculation about a possible deal between Washington and Tehran. In recent days, the Iranian side has publicly rejected claims that it is conducting negotiations with the US, while Trump at the same time claims that there are developments and that an agreement is possible.
Trump has made similar statements in his signature style before. At the end of April last year, answering the question of who should be the new pope after the death of Pope Francis, he joked in front of the press that he “would like to be the pope” and that it would be his “first choice”.
In addition, last year, Trump caused a wave of criticism among the Catholic faithful after an image generated by artificial intelligence, which showed Trump as the Pope, was published on the official channels of the White House.
