When I got this amazing peace deal, everyone went, all right, so we'll see how it goes.

I mean, the markets, as you say, rallied, but they've just rallied so many times.

I've never seen people more enthusiastically ready to believe things that a mad bloke has just said to them.

The thing that's interesting is, yeah, to go back to the Iranian people rising up, that does seem to have been something that was fed to them by Netanyahu.

He came over and did this presentation in the Situation Room, like a sort of PowerPoint.

And he said, no, honestly, if you just do it, they're gagging for it.

They're ready to rise up.

And that seems to have been the basis on which he's done it.

It's really up there.

He's just said some extraordinary things in the last couple of weeks.

He said, I don't care about inflation.

That was another great one.

I don't care about the economy.

Affordability is a hoax perpetrated by the Democrats.

Right.

As I say, he's Caesar-maxing.

There's a new book coming out by two White House reporters, Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan, in which they have got essentially verbatim transcripts of things that happened in the Situation Room.

which is really quite like a level of leakage that is kind of unprecedented, like word for word stuff.

So the suspicion has to be that some people who are already looking ahead to the post-Trump future are very keen to say that when terrible decisions were made, they were not involved with them.

So there's a kind of meta play going on here as well.
