On Iran: “But President Trump doesn’t want to suffer the humiliation of admitting that we’ve done all that we can do. Military force is now no longer the right answer, and we’re going to take a different approach. And we are going, in the meantime, to disengage our forces from the current conflict.
We are going to look to other intermediaries—others who are willing to help us to negotiate a more favorable outcome than we can get on our own. That’s humiliating for him. He can’t do it. A great man can do it; he can’t do it. This is the product of Roy Cohn. Everybody should look up Roy Cohn, who was his mentor—C-O-H-N, first name Roy. That man was one of the most evil, despicable human beings on the face of the earth, and he imparted his wisdom to President Trump.
And President Trump has lived by it. One of his rules was: never admit anything. Never admit defeat. Say you were successful when you weren’t. Say that you’re in charge when you’re not. In other words, never ever behave truthfully towards anyone. Because if you admit defeat in any way, shape, or form—if you admit that you weren’t able to accomplish something—the rest of the world will destroy you. That’s his philosophy. His philosophy is straight from Roy Cohn, and that’s why we’re not going to see any change.”
