Trump was asked if the MOU with Iran was final or "are you still tinkering?"
"If I don't like it, we'll go back to shooting at them," Trump said. "Dropping bombs on their head."
Question: When do you expect the wording to be --
Trump: "If I don't like it, if they don't behave, we'll go right back to dropping bombs right smack in the middle of their head because they misbehaved for 47 years."
Trump went on to criticize Obama's Iran deal.
Trump said the Iranians "laughed at Obama, and they said he's a stupid son of a bitch."
Earlier in the event, when touting the U.S.'s military efforts against Iran, Trump said "the U.S. was taking ships out every night that you didn't even know about. Two days ago, three days ago, a month ago -- we took out 22 ships. We averaged from 15 to 25 ships a night. Nobody knows that."
