"Don't rush me," President Trump says when asked about Iran. "So were in Vietnam for 18 years. Iraq, many, many years....I've been doing this for...six weeks."
For what it's worth, this is week nine.
- Trump says he has been speaking with Iran and they want a deal
- We got rid of the Iranian leadership.. and the new leadership is fighting among themselves
- No one is left among Iran's leaders to take over the leadership
- We've been speaking but they're in turmoil
- Want a deal to be everlasting
- I could make a deal right now
- US hit about 75% of military targets
- Will finish up rest of targets if no deal
- Iran may have reloaded during the hiatus
- If there's no deal with Iran, we'll "finish it up" militarily
- If Iran doesn't move oil, infrastructure will explode
- Iran has "a matter of days" until that takes place
- Ships are locked and loaded and ready to go
- Iran's problem is they're very disorganized right now
- Americans should expect to pay more for gasoline for "a little while"
- Repeats that he thought oil would hit $200 per barrel
- Doesn't think the Iran conflict will be very long
- Iran is delaying because they don't know who they're talking to
- Says he wouldn't use a nuclear weapon against Iran
My thinking on all this turmoil talk is that he's overdoing it and it makes me think it's not true. The 'finish it up' line is interesting, as it also indicates a short timeline. Of course, all of that presumes you can get the Strait back open.
