Valerie Plame attacks Donald Trump on Iran nuke deal
On PoliticKING with Larry King, former CIA operative Valerie Plame joins Larry with her take on the Iran nuclear deal, and she outright questions Donald Trump’s foreign affairs credentials.
“…What I find about those that say they’re supportive of him, seem to like that he speaks his mind. That he means what he says. But, how it hits me personally– it’s without any sort of wit. Without any sort of substance.It really bothers me that he talks about the Iran nuclear deal, when I’m pretty sure his background doesn’t provide any sort of insight into the best way to proceed with that. I don’t know– I’m not a political policy wonk person, but I think that ultimately he is going to implode of his own doing because clearly his ego is significant and it’s only been fed more. And, I think that’s where hubris steps in and it will take care of the problem.”
She is currently working with Global Zero to encourage Americans to support the Iran deal, detailing her support of the deal with Larry King.
“I think it is the best alternative to war. I think it’s that simple. You have diplomacy on one side, and the other alternative ultimately is war. This is not a perfect deal but it is a really good deal for the United States, our allies, and ultimately for Iran as well, so that they can reenter the international community. I caught President Obama’s speech at American University and I thought it was outstanding. It was compelling. And, most importantly, it was thoughtful and it laid out every reason why we need to go ahead this agreement.”
Plame is a former United States CIA operations officer, the wife of former Ambassador Joseph C. Wilson, and the author of a memoir detailing her career and the events leading up to her forced resignation from the CIA (her name was leaked to a reporter when she was undercover).
