Scott Praises Trump’s Unflinching Stance on Iran Nuclear Threat

Senator Rick Scott, R-Fla., said Monday he commended President Donald Trump for taking action against the nuclear threat posed by Iran.

“Thank God we have a president that is willing to defend American lives,” Scott stated in an interview.

“They’ve been killing us for 47 years. They’ve been trying to build a nuclear weapon,” he added.

“And when they get it, every American is at risk in the United States. Trump is holding them accountable,” Scott continued.

“Is it easy? No. Nobody wants to go to war. This president doesn’t want to go to war,” he said.

“Nobody wants to lose a serviceman or woman’s life. My heart goes out to their families,” Scott added.

“But this president is going to defend us. He’s going to make sure that Iran cannot continue to kill us.”

Scott also noted that Trump was doing the right thing in preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.

“They could blackmail anybody. It’s what North Korea tries to do and what Russian President Vladimir Putin threatens with,” he said.

“It would completely destabilize first the Middle East but actually the world, because the regime in Iran is crazy. They’re absolutely insane with what they want to accomplish,” Scott added.

“And so, thank God they don’t have a nuclear weapon. They’re not going to have one while Trump is president.”
