but the real question here is like is donald trump george h.w bush or is he george w bush is really the question that's that's still up in the air like the is donald trump gonna
I get through the air, not through the ground, but do essentially what George H.W.
Bush did, which is like whack the hell out of the regime, kind of, you know, kill a lot of people, degrade their military capability, but leave that regime standing.
Or does he want to go full George W. Bush and do what now?
Again, it's like Donald Trump is all over the place, so it's very hard to read his signals.
But he, you know, again, it's just totally convoluted and incoherent, everything they've been selling us about this war.
But yesterday, Donald Trump said, I can't remember who it was to, but he said to, you know, he's taken like crazy amount of phone calls with journalists, just always talking to the press.
Donald Trump loves being on TV more than anything else.
And he said, he said something along the lines of like, we think it's pretty much done.
Like we're pretty much done.
done uh with the war and then he addressed the nation later that day and didn't sound like that at all and it does seem like it was kind of like oh are you is he just trying to calm down the markets just kind of you know what I mean because so much of it Rob as you know is all based on speculating so like the president says this thing's wrapping up soon that'll have a real effect on the markets but then when he came out it's like that's not exactly what he's saying
and then of course hegseth is saying we're we're gonna light them up more than ever before so that doesn't sound like it's wrapped up that sounds like it's continuing um escalating is what that sounds like um but i don't know rob what do you what's your takeaway from i mean we'll get into some of the clips here but what's your takeaway on on what was said yesterday
Yeah, that seems to be my read on it as well, unfortunately.
Here, let's get into...
Here, let's go with Donald Trump speaking.
Let's do the second one that I sent first, Natalie.
It's the one that says, it's like Glenn Deason tweet.
It's just a very it's a very there's kind of like nothing else where even even in Trump's first term, Trump in the second term here, because he's more unhinged and doing more of this crazy shit.
It is more and more hard to even read the signals, because, again, like you said, he's all over the place on every issue.
