Trump identifies 'Iran war' as the reason for defeat

Donald Trump answered questions from members of the press following an opening ceremony he attended. 

Regarding the lost election, Trump stated, "we lost the election because of the Iran war." 

In response to a question about whether the Iran war was worth the Republicans' defeat in the US midterm elections, Donald Trump said, "Yes, it was worth it.

I was acting with the thought that oil would increase even more.

You don't have a choice, you have to do something.

You cannot allow Iran to possess nuclear weapons" he said.

US President Trump said, "If they don't want to be destructive, I will probably get along well with the Democrats. They have already called, they want to talk about some issues. This is a good situation" he said.
