Trump, in a speech in Clarksville, Tennessee, emphasized that he will «finish» work with the Islamic Republic «very quickly,» saying: «They don’t know how well I’ve treated them. Even though their navy has been completely destroyed and 159 of their ships are on the bottom of the sea. We have the most powerful army in the world.»

He said: «They are a crazy country. You know it yourself. I always tell them that you’re really crazy.»

Trump said: «They don’t have a navy anymore. They don’t have an air force. They don’t have anti-aircraft equipment. Their production capacity has been severely destroyed. The radars are gone too. They needed radars.»

Amid cheers and laughter from the audience, Trump mocked officials of the Islamic Republic and, while imitating them, said: «When they give speeches and say that we kill, we kill everyone, 20 people from behind them answer with praise for Allah. Of course, they don’t talk like that anymore.»
