Kirk: Trump Was Elected For This Moment Between Iran And Israel

“Turning Point USA” Founder Charlie Kirk believes that President Donald Trump was elected for the exact situation we are seeing between Israel and Iran.

He spoke to Fox News host Jesse Watters on Tuesday, where he said that he thinks Americans should have trust in the president.

“Bernie Sanders just said he’s going to introduce a resolution, the “No War Versus Iran” Act. He says it’s going to be an illegal war the president is going to take us into. Some people on the right are saying, “Don’t forget about Iraq.” How are you reconciling these issues?” the host said.

“Well, first, this is the moment that President Trump was elected for—thank God that we have President Trump in the Oval Office with this high-stakes situation,” Kirk responded.

“Look, President Trump, ten years ago, he went down the golden escalator. And when he announced for the presidency ten years ago, to this day, he remade the Republican Party on foreign policy. He said, no more permanent wars in the Middle East. He criticized the Bush-Cheney philosophy of endless quagmires,” the TPUSA founder said.

“Albeit, though, he is not an isolationist—he is willing to use violent and precise force against our enemies, like taking out Soleimani or dropping the MOAB if and when necessary,” he said.

“President Trump understands his base extraordinarily well. He knows that his base does not want another Iraq, does not want Libya, does not want a civil war or bedlam where the United States is left carrying the bag. But also, President Trump has been morally clear for a decade: Iran should not have a nuclear weapon. And President Trump has the talent, the expertise to be able to thread that needle,” Kirk said.

“The generation that I represent, Jesse—the under-30 crowd—they absolutely are very war-weary. Many of them voted for President Trump on college campuses because they did not want to see a Joe Biden or George Bush philosophy, where we get into this endless conflict, where we’re sending hundreds of billions of dollars. I think President Trump will be able to balance those two things while defending our allies, saying that Iran will not have a nuclear weapon without having to deploy a single American troop or even having America involved from the sky. President Trump can get that deal done while fulfilling the mandate that the voters gave him,” he said.

“Yeah, it’s a tightrope he’s walking. And so far, so good,” Watters said.

“He can do it,” Kirk responded.
