President Donald Trump said that former commander of Iran's IRGC Qasem Soleimani was an 'evil genius' who had killed many and was responsible for maiming American soldiers. USA "got him before he got us," Trump said.

Trump: “Yeah, I think a deal is possible. Sure. I do.”
Collins: “But, Mr. President, you noted the United States is bombing Iran again. I mean, you’ve been bombing Iran for months now. Is this just the new normal for the American people?”
Trump: “No, well, you know, we were in Vietnam for 19 years. We’re here for four months. So, I think we’ve done a lot. We’ve knocked out their navy in a period of one month. We knocked out their air force. Their air force is nonexistent. We knocked out most of their missiles, most of their drones. We knocked out their drone manufacturing capability, about 92 percent. Their missile capability for manufacturing, we knocked out 89 percent.
And they have a little capability, but they don’t have any capability for us. This is almost a military skirmish. Now, with all of that being said, you have to get people that want to make something. We had a deal with them two days ago and then they said, ‘Oh, we can’t make that deal. We have to negotiate it further.’ And this is what they’ve done for 47 years. The difference is nobody negotiated like I do. And this should have been done by Bush and Obama and Biden and people before them, frankly.
It’s 47 years they’ve been ripping off everybody and really hurting and killing thousands of people. So, they killed 52,000 protesters, but they killed many, many people with Soleimani, who I killed in the first term. Soleimani killed many people. Many, many people. And not only killed. When you see a young former soldier walking around with no legs, no arms, a face that’s been horribly, horribly hurt, that was done by Iran. That was done by Soleimani. He was a person that was very evil. He was an evil genius.
He was looking to take out a lot of our military installations in Iraq and Iran. And I got him before he got us. So, we have to do what we’re doing. And the Strait is open. It will be open. We’ve cut down their capability very substantially, but they, you know, they’re going to fight for a while. Our military has done a fantastic job.”
