Donald Trump rallied opponents of the Iran nuclear deal at the Capitol on Wednesday, slamming President Obama’s diplomatic pact as an embarrassment to the country.
“We are led by very, very stupid people,” Trump told a crowd gathered on the Capitol’s west lawn.
“We are going to get nothing,” he said of the nuclear deal. “They rip us off, they take our money, they make us look like fools.”
Trump, who has become the front-runner in the GOP race for the White House, said the United States bungled the negotiations over the Iran pact, which will lift sanctions on Iran’s economy in exchange for limits on its nuclear program.
“Never, ever in my lifetime have I seen a transaction negotiated so incompetently,” he said.
“We will have so much winning if I get elected you’ll get bored of winning,” the business mogul added. “We are going to start winning big league.”
Trump wasn’t the only presidential contender on hand for the rally. He was preceded onstage by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), a rival for the 2016 nomination who has at times defended Trump from criticism.
