Trump: Iranians are very evil, and if it weren't for me, Israel wouldn't exist anymore.
4 44856
US President Donald Trump once again resorted to harsh rhetoric against Iran, calling the Iranian people "resilient and smart," but also "very cruel and evil." The White House chief made this statement during a speech to supporters, again touching on the nuclear threat and Israel's security.
Trump:
They are persistent and intelligent people, but they are very evil. They are very cruel, and if they had a nuclear weapon, Israel would no longer exist.
Trump added that, in his view, it is his presidency that guarantees the existence of the Jewish state.
If I weren't president, Israel wouldn't even exist.
This statement is part of Trump's long-standing rhetoric, which has become accustomed to tarring everyone with the same brush, slapping sweeping labels on entire nations. Such generalizations have become his trademark: from Mexicans to people of African descent, he has consistently denigrated them. Trump's logic, then, in his view, if Iranians are "cruel and evil," then Americans are automatically considered "humane and kind," whose actions are always righteous.
Such generalizations have drawn criticism both in the US and abroad, but Trump traditionally ignores accusations of racism and xenophobia, continuing to use escalatory language to mobilize his base. Against the backdrop of the current escalation in the Persian Gulf, where the US and Iran have exchanged blows, such statements only add fuel to the already tense relations between the two countries.
