How can you expect Donald Trump to change strategy to something that actually makes sense in Iran if he thinks that everything is going amazing?

You can't because he's using bad facts and he is trying to bluster his way through these things and put on a television performance rather than actually do the job because it's easy to lie to the press.

It's easy to lie on TV.

It's a lot harder to engage in diplomacy.

It's a lot harder to actually engage in the mechanics of and the chess games of actual warfare.

And what do we actually need to do to win this thing?

How can we get out of this thing safely?

What's our exit plan?

And that was basically the point that Friedrich Merz, the chancellor of Germany, was making the other day when he said the United States has been humiliated by Iran.

been utterly, utterly humiliated by Iran right now.

And as I'm looking at the situation, Donald Trump and the United States have no exit strategy.

It's an objectively true fact.

And after Donald Trump's call with Vladimir Putin the other day, what did Donald Trump do?

The first thing he did was threaten to remove any sort of U.S.

defenses, any sort of U.S.

troop presence from Germany.

And so he's already taking retribution of him for simply reporting the facts.

We've known how kind of malignant facts are to the MAGA movement, how they repel them at all costs, how they want to live in their alternate reality.

Well, right now in this war, we are seeing the consequences of people who refuse to admit reality.

exactly brett really well said like they being the trump regime are just such dishonest brokers of information you see hexeth up there just lying through his teeth and he gets called out on it wait i thought we won this war back in back in march it's it's may what are we still doing bombing like what do like what's what's still what are we still doing there with our presence there i thought i thought we're done hey how can we get out when can we get out the reality of the situation is to borrow a trumpian phrase here
