Former President Donald Trump asserted that radical leftists and Democrats recognize how well the United States has performed in a war against Iran, despite what he described as their country's military failures. He criticized former President Obama for allegedly giving billions in cash and not using the then‑aged U.S. forces to dominate what Trump called the world’s top terrorist sponsor, Iran. Trump added that Iran had been "killing" for 47 years until his arrival, after which he said “everything changed” and declared that “America is back.”
