And so in classic sort of textbook style and in a way that he was warned repeatedly by
the experts that he, you know, so disdains.
He lost control of this war the moment he started it, particularly since he didn't have a clear idea in his head of how he would end it.
So I called him yesterday about two, three hours after Iran had launched this salvo of ballistic missiles at Israel.
And I think it was about half an hour after he had called Netanyahu
and asked Netanyahu not to retaliate.
And I said, are you confident that Netanyahu will follow your instructions to keep the prize in sight, namely a deal with Iran?
And he said, yes, I call the shots.
And then I guess about an hour after I spoke to him, Israel launched these attacks on Iran.
The Israeli attacks were not sort of lethal regime decapitation style attacks.
So it is conceivable that on his call with Netanyahu, Netanyahu said, look, I have to do something.
And Trump said, OK, make it a kabuki retaliation, not a real substantive one.
I think Netanyahu is in a real vice also of his own creation, which is that he's campaigning for reelection in the Israeli general elections.
