Opinion | Trump's claim that Iran was close to a nuclear weapon included an obvious tell
Jarvis DeBerry: Trump’s use of “two weeks” is enough by itself to warrant our skepticism.
Sunday he stated that Iran was just "two weeks" from developing a nuclear weapon. This after saying that he "totally and completely obliterating their nuclear program" last June with air strikes. Wow! That means that, starting from scratch, Iran is developing a nuclear weapon in eight months!
But, it seems that "two weeks" is his favorite timeline for most events.
June 2018 he claimed that he had a new Obamacare replacement plan and "We are coming out with that plan in two weeks," and that "it would be so much better than anything you have ever seen before!" In July 2020, while campaigning, he told Fox that the plan "was coming within two weeks."
A deadline for Russia and Ukraine to come to terms is two weeks.
Evidence that President Obama wiretapped him is only two weeks away.
There are many more examples. Trump obviously loves the "two weeks" promise, but he usually fails to deliver.
So, why do you trust him?
