- When a reporter reminded him of his earlier comment, Trump denied having said it, although video evidence confirmed he did make the remark publicly.
- Trump made the controversial statement during a Friday speech, suggesting that maybe the U.S. is better off not making a deal with Iran to prevent ongoing issues.
- This incident is part of a pattern where Trump has publicly denied remarks he made on camera, including during his 2024 campaign and the 2020 Covid-19 pandemic.
- Examples include denying he would release a military video in 2025 and falsely claiming he never said “lock her up” about Hillary Clinton despite multiple televised instances.
