President Donald Trump issued a dire warning to reporters who were asking him about Iran's nuclear capability and said that they were in "danger" just by standing there speaking to him.
During an impromptu press gathering on the tarmac in Morristown, New Jersey, on Friday, reporters asked Trump several questions about deciding on military action against Iran.
One reporter asked if the president was worried that either Iran or "its proxies would wage terrorist attacks against American targets abroad if you ordered military action?"
"We're always concerned about that, and we have to take them out and be very strong," Trump replied. "You're even in danger talking to me right now, do you know that?"
"You are in danger talking to me right now. So I should probably get out of here," he added. "But you guys are actually in danger. Can you believe it?"
At one point, the president was asked about Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard's past comments about Iran's nuclear ambitions, and he said she was wrong.
The reporter asked, "What intelligence do you have that Iran is building a nuclear weapon? Your intelligence community has said they have no evidence that they are at this point?"
"Well, then, my intelligence community is wrong. Who in the intelligence community said that?" Trump asked, and the reporter named Gabbard.
"She's wrong," the president added.
RedState has reported on Trump's looming decision and the leaks that have started to pressure him.
With Israel continuing to hit Iran's nuclear and military capacity, including its ballistic missile capabilities, the Islamist nation is getting more and more desperate. On Friday morning, the Iranian foreign minister took off from Turkey for Europe to meet with France, the United Kingdom, and Germany in what is an obvious attempt to push for a ceasefire that prolongs this issue for decades to come. Unfortunately, it's not just the perpetually weak Europeans who are looking to stop Israel from finishing the job, though.
According to a new report, "officials" are leaking U.S. intelligence reports claiming that the only way to keep Iran from getting a nuclear weapon is to allow them to preserve their ability to get a nuclear weapon. No, I'm not kidding.

RedState's Bonchie couldn't have put it more clearly:
What I do know is it presents as a telegraphed attempt to publicly undermine President Donald Trump's hard line against Iran and nudge him toward a preferred outcome that saves the regime and its nuclear program. Whoever is behind this needs to be rooted out and fired.
