and i think that kim jong-il sees that, he would be the leader and i think he sees the tremendous potential and it's not. with respect to iran, same thing. iran is incredible people , and incredible country potentially, location that's a little rough neighborhood but eventually it's going to be a beautiful neighborhood. i think it's going to work out. and i really believe those countries that went into the original deal, that more and more are agreeing with what i did. but i think those countries are going to be saying thank you day, i hope they're going to be saying including france, including the president but i think we did the right thing, i know we get the right thing. if for no other reason, it's just too short. almost expiring, you think about it. somebody said no go and make an extension. there are great negotiators. but what they did to get the deal. but what they did to john kerry and to president obama. look what happened where their bringing playing loads of cash, big planes, 757s, boeing 757 coming in loaded up with cash. what kind of deal is that? i think a lot of good things

first of all, anybody that can get a meeting with kim jong-il .nd his meetings have been so effective, i can now say his name. it is 70 years or more. if people are worried about iran, this is one leader and he can break the ice here. i feel like we have a big uncle working for us. he always deals from a point of hope. red lights don't go off, like previous callers said and don't ever meet with him because what iran did 40 years ago does not come into the picture. also, that he is a businessman. he usually deals with the business of life. he isn't a being counter or accountant or somebody trying to .queeze muscle out of something it is the business of life and people and their futures that he deals with and that is good business. he brought himl, in because he canceled wargames and that is a gigantic thing to do. he stopped planes and he isn't the yes-man. my father always told me, don't be a yes-man. i have to chuckle about macron. trump did not touch it because he had to inject himself into the situation even though he has no power or anything i
