MIDDLE EAST/NORTH KOREA/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “Remember, when I was elected, they said the war will start with somebody within days, and I’ve kept us out of war.
You look at North Korea. Everybody said, including President Obama, that’s the biggest problem. Everybody said you’d be at war. Well, we’re not at war. It would have been a war if I wasn’t elected, if it was somebody else.
No, we’re — we’re doing very well in the Middle East. And I’ll tell you what: It’s been an incredible thing.”
