This is President Trump speaking to the Atlantic’s Michael Scherer in “Trump Says He Decides What ‘America First’ Means” (behind the Atlantic’s paywall), per NR’s Jimmy Quinn here on X: “Well, considering that I’m the one that developed ‘America First,’ and considering that the term wasn’t used until I came along, I think I’m the one that decides that. For those people who say they want peace—you can’t have peace if Iran has a nuclear weapon. So for all of those wonderful people who don’t want to do anything about Iran having a nuclear weapon—that’s not peace.”
