“I’ve left instructions if they do it, they get obliterated, there won’t be anything left,” he said at the time.
Trump swatted away reports that Israel identified a fresh Iranian plot to kill the president, but his latest remarks follow a series of statements and mysterious security measures after leaving this week’s NATO summit in Ankara, Turkey, where he repeatedly said he was at the top of Iran’s kill list and even told reporters they could be on a “dangerous flight” back home as a ceasefire in the months-long war collapsed.
The president said Israel “came up with nothing.”
“No, no. Israel came up with nothing. No, no,” he told The Post. “I’ve been No. 1 [on Iran’s kill list] for a long time, and it’s the way life is, you know. … I hope you’ll miss me.”
During a press conference on Wednesday, Trump again put himself at “No. 1 on the list for killing.”
