Former President Donald Trump called President Joe Biden ‘pretty pathetic’ and claimed Iran wouldn’t be attacking Israel if he remained in office. 

Trump, the presumptive 2024 Republican nominee, held a press conference early Friday evening after meeting at Mar-a-Lago with the embattled GOP House Speaker Mike Johnson, floating that Biden could get the country into a ‘world war.’ 

The ex-president was asked by a reporter about the U.S. warnings that Iran was about to strike Israel and if he’d been in touch with Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu. 

Trump wouldn’t divulge if he’d spoken to Bibi adding, ‘But for the president of our country to actually put out a warning that he thinks that we’re going to be attacked or they’re going to be attacked. That’s pretty pathetic.’ 

‘They wouldn’t be attacking Israel if I were president, that I can tell you,’ he continued. ‘And they never did.’
