US President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that Iranian opposition figure Reza Pahlavi "seems very nice" but expressed uncertainty over whether Pahlavi would be able to muster support within Iran to eventually take over. "He seems very nice, but I don't know how he'd play within his own country," Trump said. It's very hard to see how much support he has or how much support any figure has in Iran," she said. "When you win the presidency, you don't win the midterms," he said. “We have to get President Zelensky to go along with it," he said.
