Former US presidents have not talked to Trump on Iran, aides say, disputing Trump's claim

President Donald Trump claimed twice today that he had recently spoken to a former US president who praised his actions in Iran, saying: “I wish I did what you did.”

A spokesman for Clinton told CNN that no recent conversations have taken place between Clinton and Trump — about Iran or anything else.  Aides to Bush, Obama and Biden offered similar sentiments on Monday, saying there is no record of any communications with Trump.

When you think about, realistically that former President must have been Bush, as there's no way he had that conversation with a Democrat President. And I still think ifs unlikely Bush would have said that.
