And then on Tuesday he says there's no talks going on with Iran at all, contradicting himself, insists that the Strait of Hormuz remains open.
voice-verified
It's not.
voice-verified
Ships have been fired on this week.
voice-verified
Somebody's been killed this week trying to get through the Strait of Hormuz.
voice-verified
And he's been posting some rather bizarre things on social media, including a graphic that claimed that the Strait of Hormuz was now American territory.
voice-verified
And that's before just when we even get into what he's been saying about other countries as well around the world.
voice-verified
So Justin, this was a real surprise.
voice-verified
Um uh one, uh th the president turning his attention to the Korean peninsula, and two lashing out at South Korea, another staunch ally usually of the United States, who it seems he wants to punish for not enthusiastically joining his war with Iran, even though he said he didn't need their help, and because he thinks that there's too many US um service members
voice-verified
there too much subsidy essentially from the United States towards South Korea.
voice-verified
But it's also part of him um rekindling his flirtation, I think, uh is the best way to put it with the North Korean leader Kim Jong un.
voice-verified
No, that's a questionable claim, but um there are reports that Donald Trump's really eager to have another meeting with Kim Jong-un, that he wants him to come to the United States before the end of this year, maybe in November or so.
voice-verified
And if there is any pattern here at all, Justin, it is Donald Trump's love of a military dictator, his desire to carry favour with Vladimir Putin.
voice-verified
President Xi in China, with Kim Jong un in North Korea, he's got this kind of adoration and fascination for the world's more reviled dictators at the price of his democratic allies.
voice-verified
Yes, you can and la and we'll we'll get to how it's impacting the politics domestically here in a bit.
voice-verified
But let's just unpick a little bit of what we think he's trying to do here.
voice-verified
What they're saying around the White House, what aides to Donald Trump are telling us off the record, is that this is part of a strategic pivot.
voice-verified
Where Donald Trump is now going to look at Korea, look at talking to Kim Jong-un, look at other parts of the world where he thinks that his attention is needed and deprioritise Iran.
voice-verified
Now, I mean, do they think that we were born yesterday?
voice-verified
I mean, obviously he is trying to change the subject, obviously he's trying to move on from Iran because he's stuck.
voice-verified
He's in a quagmire of his own making, he doesn't know what to do.
