Trump on his war on Iran: "We talked about that with President Putin. He was very impressed with what he saw."
Reporter: You promised the Iranian people you would help them.
Trump: Will I help them? I'd like to, if they can behave, but they've been very menacing,
Q: You said the war is 'very complete.' But your defense secretary says 'this is just the beginning.' So which is it?
TRUMP: You could say both
Q: You just suggested Iran got a Tomahawk & bombed its own school. But you're the only person in your govt saying this. Even your defense secretary wouldn't say that. Why are you the only person saying this?
TRUMP: I just don't know enough about it. It's something I was told is under investigation.
