Trump is running on a platform of magical thinking:

Speaking at the Teamsters Headquarters in Washington, D.C., Trump said: "It wouldn't have happened if I were in the White House. You would have never had this attack. You would have never had the attack on Israel."

The former president added that Russia's attack on Ukraine "would not have happened" if he was President.

Trump’s answer is vacuous, but it seems to be his preferred way of dodging questions about how he would handle specific problems. In this case, it is how he avoids answering a question about whether he would order an attack on Iran.
