He wasn't even saying he was for it.

But he said the military does have the capacity to do one and two, killing the Ayatollah and crippling Iran's capacity to project power.

And then basically everyone in the room, except for, this was after Bibi Netanyahu left and the Israelis left, but all of his staff was like, all the rest of the senior officials in the White House were basically said that three and four, the popular uprising and installing a secular leader were crazy.

Ratcliffe, the CIA director, called it a farcical.

And then Rubio interjected, that means it's bullshit.

I assume because Trump didn't know what farcical meant.

But even as General Keynes said he believes the military could achieve one and two, he also warned about the Strait of Hormuz and how it would be very difficult to reopen and how the Iranians could gain control of it, which has happened.

Trump seemed to dismiss that because he thought, oh, the regime will have fallen by then.

And warned about depleting munitions, that we are going to use a lot of our weapons and defensive weapons, offensive weapons by doing this.

And Trump didn't seem to care about that.

And then there was even an anecdote in that story how Tucker Carlson, who had been calling Trump and warning him not to do this and pleading with him not to do this, he basically said he had a call with the president right before Trump said go.

And Trump said to Carlson, I know you're worried about it, but it's going to be OK.

And then Tucker said, well, how do you know?

And Trump said, because it always is.

Right.

Everything's going to go great.

Right.

And I think especially since he survived the assassination attempt, he does have this, he has like a little bit of a little bit Messiah complex here where he thinks like, you know, God has sent him to be president again.

And, and,

He thinks it's I think he he saw Venezuela go off without a hitch for him, at least.
