President Trump Says a Former President Told Him “I Wish I Did What You Did to Iran!”

Well, isn’t this interesting?

President Trump just revealed that he recently spoke to a certain former U.S. president who privately gave him his full support of Operation Epic Fury.

In fact, this (unnamed) president expressed regret for not doing exactly what Trump is doing to Iran!

President Trump said that this anonymous president told him, “I wish I did it!”

Watch:

🚨 WOW! President Trump just revealed he spoke to a US President who privately WISHES he did what Trump is doing to Iran

“I’ve spoken to a certain president, who I like actually, a past president, former president, he said, ‘I wish I did it, I wish I did,’ but they didn’t do it. I’m doing it.”

Q: Which president?

TRUMP: “I can’t tell you that. I don’t want to embarrass him, it would be very bad for his career, even though he’s got no career left!”

Who is it, Bill Clinton?

Out of a matter of respect, President Trump isn’t naming any names.

But, that didn’t stop Fox News’ Peter Doocy from trying to give us another hint later in the day!

Watch this:

🚨 LMAO! Peter Doocy just tried to get President Trump to admit which former President told him "I wish I did what you did to Iran"

DOOCY: "Was it George W. Bush?"

TRUMP: "No."

DOOCY: "Bill Clinton?"

TRUMP: "I don't wanna say!"

DOOCY: “Was it George W. Bush?”

TRUMP: “No.”

DOOCY: “Bill Clinton?”

TRUMP: “I don’t wanna say!”

“I don’t want to get him into trouble… I think you probably know.”

I have to say, my curiosity is piqued.

By process of elimination, a lot of people think it must have been Bill Clinton that President Trump was talking to.

The Washington Times noted:

There are only four living ex-presidents, so the options are narrow.

“Was it George W. Bush?” Fox News reporter Peter Doocy asked.

“No,” Mr. Trump said.

“Bill Clinton?” the report asked.

“I don’t wanna say,” Mr. Trump said.

The president does not have warm relationships with former presidents Barack Obama and Joseph R. Biden, both of whom he attacks frequently.

Folks on X are sharing their best guess:

It’s definitely Clinton. Trump told reporters just a few months ago that he always liked him. And I’m damn certain it’s not Obama, Biden, or Dubya.

Ok, I suppose Trump could’ve been talking to himself since he was technically a past President as well.😅

Has to be Clinton, Trump wouldn’t speak to Bush or Obama and Biden doesn’t remember his presidency.

He was speaking with Bush. A lot of people are saying Clinton, but I think it’s Bush.
