Trump has long promised a 'beautiful' wall. Now he's pledging 'the greatest dome ever.'
Trump keeps vowing to build something like Israel’s Iron Dome, but better and over the entire U.S. That's not easily done.
MANCHESTER, N.H. — After breezing through his usual lines about wanting to build a border wall and to “drill baby, drill” for oil, former President Donald Trump has been adding a new refrain to his speeches — a promise to build something like Israel’s Iron Dome, but better and over the entire U.S.
“We’ll build an Iron Dome over our country, a state-of-the-art missile defense shield, and it’s all made in the USA,” Trump said Sunday at a rally in New Hampshire. “I think it’s time that we have one.”
“I will prevent World War III. We’ve never been so close. You just have to check out the news. And we will build an Iron Dome over our country — a state-of-the-art missile defense shield,” he said here Saturday.
“It’s a very big deal for me,” he said of the idea last month in Iowa. “We’re giving billions of dollars to other countries so they can build a dome. But we don’t have a dome ourselves. We’re going to have the greatest dome ever.”
The Israeli missile defense system known as Iron Dome has proven its capabilities almost nightly as it knocks down volleys of Hamas rockets during the war with Hamas.
