During the Saturday night Republican presidential debate, Donald Trump listed the first three questions he would ask his national security advisers when elected president, and the real estate mogul focused largely on how hard he would want to hit America’s enemies.
CBS moderator John Dickerson asked Trump, “It’s your first day in the situation room. What three questions do you ask your national security experts about the world?”
“What we want to do, when we want to do it, and how hard do we want to hit?” Trump replied. “Because we are going to have to hit very, very hard to knock out ISIS.”
“We’re also going to have to learn who our allies are,” he continued. “We have allies, so-called allies, We’re spending billions and billions of dollars supporting people we have no idea who they are in Syria.”
Trump then bashed the Iran nuclear deal.
“The Iran deal is one of the worst deals I have ever seen negotiated in my entire life. It’s a disgrace that this country negotiated that deal,” he said. “It’s a disgrace and an embarrassment.”
He also noted that he believes that the U.S. should go after the Islamic State by attacking their oil.
“Take the wealth away. Attack the oil and keep the oil,” Trump said.
