I do not like hearing President Trump speak like this and quite frankly it’s extremely out of character for him.
He’s usually extremely intentional about his words and about the power of positive thinking and he’s very aware about the power of speaking things into existence, so this is not at all expected from him.
But he just said this about Iran trying to kill him: “And you know what, I may be gone, too, because I’m their number one target. It’s out all over the place. I’m their number one because they’re scum.”

But this next one was pretty funny….
When asked why he praised them last month and now says they’re scum, he said the reason is pretty simple: “I got to know them.”
Hilarious!
REPORTER: “Last month you said Iranian leaders were very rational people, nice to deal with, strong and smart. Today you said they're scum, sick people, and being led by sick people. What changed?”
