The full transcript and footage, available on C-Span's website, show that Trump was actually describing the situation for Iranians themselves, he was speaking about individuals reportedly offered the role of supreme leader but declining it out of fear of being killed either by their own people or by the United States. At no point does Trump claim he personally received an offer for Iran’s top leadership position.

fact check

Not true but the very fact that it is believable is scary lol

@HoeBag When he talks he jumps around in between characters as he performs his silly act. He sometimes doesn't make it clear what character is speaking.

@HoeBag I'm quite sure he thinks he should be supreme leader of the world.
