Trump: Obama 'Living in a Fantasy Land'
 
   Donald Trump accused President Barack Obama of "living in a fantasy land" on Wednesday, while pointing out that the leader's statements in the State of the Union Address didn't actually mention him by name.
   "Perhaps he was talking about somebody else," the front-running GOP presidential candidate told Fox News' "Fox & Friends" program. "But some people think he might have been talking about me."
   He also agreed with co-host Steve Doocy that it appears Obama doesn't like him, commenting that it's "probably true. He probably does not, not very important to me, but I would say he probably doesn't."
   Trump, though, complained about what Obama didn't say, including the words radical Islamic terrorism, as "he doesn't want to use those terms. He doesn't want to talk about it, and if you don't talk about something, you're never going to solve the problem.
   "He doesn't want to talk about California, what happened there with the 14 people killed, viciously killed by the two radicalized people. He doesn't want to talk about what's going on in the world, the real facts that are going on in the world."
   The New Yorker also complained about reports that the United States may have apologized to Iran for entering its territorial waters, leading to the capture Tuesday night of 10 U.S. Navy soldiers.
"We shouldn't have apologized and they shouldn't have held these people at any point," said Trump. "It's just days before we're giving them hundreds of billions of dollars in one of the dumbest deals in the history of our country.
   "They only let them go because they want to collect the money because they're not stupid people," said Trump.
   But by capturing the sailors, Trump said, Iran is "taunting us and they continue to taunt us. They also had some missiles go off right next to one of our ships the other day. They continue to taunt us, because they feel we don't have very much leadership. Which, of course, they're 100 percent correct about that."
   If Iran already had its payment, though, Trump said, "they would have kept these people . . . they already have our four hostages over there right now. Including a minister, a wonderful guy from all accounts who is a pastor, and he's there because he's a Christian."
