After signing the RNC’s loyalty pledge on Thursday afternoon,Donald Trump called into the radio show of conservative hostHugh Hewitt, who will serve as one of the moderators at this month’s GOP debate on CNN.
Their conversation began with this exchange in what ended up sounding a lot like the foreign policy version of “Who’s on First?”:
HH: Are you familiar with General Soleimani?
DT: Yes… but go ahead, give me a little, go ahead, tell me.
HH: He runs the Quds Forces.
DT: Yes, okay, right.
HH: Do you expect his behavior —
DT: The Kurds, by the way, have been horribly mistreated by —
HH: No, not the Kurds, the Quds Forces, the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Quds Forces, the bad guys.
DT: Yes, yes. Right.
HH: Do you expect his behavior to change as a result…
DT: Oh, I thought you said Kurds, Kurds.
HH: No, Quds.
DT: Oh, I’m sorry, I thought you said Kurds, because I think the Kurds have been poorly treated by us, Hugh. Go ahead.
Asked if he thinks General Soleimani’s behavior will change with the Iran nuclear deal, Trump went off on tangent about how “incompetent” the deal is without answering the question at hand
