Trump Trots Out Wildly Contradictory Iran War Claims — And Says He Doesn't Care If There's A Peace Deal
A month into his air attacks on Iran and with ground troops en route, Trump continues attacking allies while enriching the purported enemy with billions.
During an hour of monologue and a half-hour question-and-answer session with reporters ahead of a Cabinet meeting, Trump yet again offered wildly contradictory claims about a war that has killed 13 U.S. service members, seriously injured hundreds more, left thousands of Iranians dead and has brought spiking gasoline prices and a new round of inflation at home.
As is typically the case with Trump, who is both a prolific liar as well as profoundly ignorant, it was impossible to know how much of what he said about the war was true, how much he believed was true but in reality was not, how much was a deliberate lie and how much reflected an irritation.
