Does Trump know what he's doing?
"YOU basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard that they don’t know what the f*** they're doing,” Donald Trump vented en route to the NATO summit in The Hague.
Crude, brash and revealing.
Because that line, tossed out just hours after his self-congratulatory ceasefire between Iran and Israel began to unravel, said far more about Trump than it did about the conflict itself.
The reality star turned convicted felon built his presidency on grand promises of peace. “Wars would never have started if I had been president,” he declared.
But over the weekend, he ordered B-2 bombers to drop 30,000lb bunker-busting bombs on Iranian nuclear sites without congressional approval, without public support, and without a plan.
His defenders call it decisive. But inside the Pentagon, the verdict is different: “an unwise and unnecessary mistake” that caused no real damage. It didn’t need to happen. This wasn’t the emergency Trump painted it to be.
