But once that was the case, then I went, OK, well, maybe this is a potential off ramp, like maybe this is an opportunity where Donald Trump, who, as you just saw in the video, there seems to have never really wanted this war.
seems on some level to know how dangerous these regime change wars in the Middle East are.
You hear out of his own mouth saying, look, we tried this in Iraq, in Afghanistan, in Syria, in Libya.
Look what a disaster it was.
These guys want to do it again in Iran.
It's going to be another disaster there.
This is Donald Trump's own words.
So on some level, and of course, as we saw in the 12 day war, when he was given the opportunity, he did take the off ramp.
makes one wonder what the hell he's doing, doing this stuff at all.
But so I did suspect, and I said this to you, Rob, maybe this'll be what me and Rob were talking at the comedy club last night.
I was like, well, maybe this is his off ramp.
You know, he can do the Trump thing in Venezuela and say, we did it, even though you didn't really do anything, but hey, we did it.
And the Ayatollah is killed.
And so blah, blah, blah.
He can just say, Iran's been liberated.
We run the country now, you know, like he did in Venezuela, even though we don't really.
And I got to say, Rob, from the reporting, it looks like my guess on that was right.
But Donald Trump did want to take that.
It's now being reported that they went through it through Italy.
