In an interview with reporters after his speech he was asked whether the war in Iran would delay the Republican election. He replied: “I think that’s generally true, because it will lead to a small increase in the price of gasoline in the short term.” But then he emphasized: “Even if I had to choose again, I would do so, because in the long term, this is the only way out. We cannot let Iran have nuclear weapons.”
When asked by reporters whether war was appropriate, Trump said: “I think it is. You have no other choice.” He warned that if Iran obtained nuclear weapons, “everything you see now will cease to exist in the future, and perhaps only this building (referring to the new banquet hall) will remain.”

Speaking about the political situation after the Democrats took over Congress, Trump said: “I think I can probably get along well with the Democrats, as long as they don’t want to do harm.” He also emphasized that he has veto power and can use this power if he disagrees with the actions of the Democrats. He revealed that Democrats had called and wanted to discuss something, “and that’s no problem.”
