has entirely succeeded in this war.

The Don Lemon Show

Yeah, I mean, Don, we live in a reality where still the polling for the war is negative, but the vast majority of people who voted for Trump think it's fine, and the vast majority of people who didn't vote for Trump think it's terrible, and that would be the case.

I mean, you could have a war that was entirely disastrous, thousands of Americans dead, and you might still see most people who voted for Trump saying it's great.

You could have a war where

The Don Lemon Show

The regime bowed down and decided to become a pro-American vassal state.

The Don Lemon Show

And you'd still have people who oppose Trump saying it's not great.

The Don Lemon Show

I think for those voters in the middle who are who can be persuaded one way or the other, there is this question of, as you said, if we say Iran was moving toward a nuclear weapon, they can never have a nuclear weapon and we have prevented it.

The Don Lemon Show

With this operation, well, Iran still has a whole lot of highly enriched uranium that's sitting underground right now that was buried by strikes.

The Don Lemon Show
Lemon LIVE at 5 | Trump's Iran War Escalates & SCOTUS Skeptical of Birthright Citizenship Order

And Trump has talked behind the scenes about the possibility of an operation to go and get it.

The Don Lemon Show
Lemon LIVE at 5 | Trump's Iran War Escalates & SCOTUS Skeptical of Birthright Citizenship Order

But that would be an enormous risk.

The Don Lemon Show
Lemon LIVE at 5 | Trump's Iran War Escalates & SCOTUS Skeptical of Birthright Citizenship Order

undertaking you'd be talking about sending troops basically to create a construction site to dig underground take this material out while potentially taking fire it's a it's a incredibly complex operation so much so that i actually have a hard time seeing it happen although i'm happy to be proved wrong uh so you know they're probably going to end with not an entirely satisfactory outcome on the nuclear issue probably not an entirely satisfactory outcome on the missile issue they're not going to eliminate every missile

The Don Lemon Show

that Iran has and not a satisfactory outcome in terms of the leadership.

The Don Lemon Show

If it remains, you know, we replaced one hominid for a younger one, you know, so it's certainly not we've ticked every box.

The Don Lemon Show

This is exactly as we envisioned it.

The Don Lemon Show
Lemon LIVE at 5 | Trump's Iran War Escalates & SCOTUS Skeptical of Birthright Citizenship Order

And now we're going to go home happy.

The Don Lemon Show
Lemon LIVE at 5 | Trump's Iran War Escalates & SCOTUS Skeptical of Birthright Citizenship Order

What Trump is going to try to say is that we stated four goals going in.

The Don Lemon Show
Lemon LIVE at 5 | Trump's Iran War Escalates & SCOTUS Skeptical of Birthright Citizenship Order

We've moved the ball on all of them.

The Don Lemon Show
Lemon LIVE at 5 | Trump's Iran War Escalates & SCOTUS Skeptical of Birthright Citizenship Order

This was worthwhile.

The Don Lemon Show
Lemon LIVE at 5 | Trump's Iran War Escalates & SCOTUS Skeptical of Birthright Citizenship Order

And it's up to the American people to decide whether they agree with that.

The Don Lemon Show
Lemon LIVE at 5 | Trump's Iran War Escalates & SCOTUS Skeptical of Birthright Citizenship Order

Yeah.
