I'm pretty competitive.
It's fun to beat friends and coworkers.
I'm guessing tanga is not a word.
Let's see.
Tanga is a word.
Oh.
Walking away from this speech, there was really no revealing news.
What stuck out to me is that President Trump essentially used this speech to almost plead with Americans to keep this war in perspective.
He tacked through the lengths of other conflicts that America has been involved in.
He talked about the length of the Vietnam War.
And then he compared it to this war, which is about a month in.
But while the president tried to provide assurance to Americans and make his case for why he believes the conflict is necessary, he did not provide something that's been missing from his messaging for weeks, and that's an articulate, clear strategy
for the way forward with the war and how it will end.
Trump basically juggled between endorsing negotiations for an end to the war while also promising an escalation of the type of violence that we've seen.
One more takeaway as well.
The president continued to distance the United States from the Strait of Hormuz.
He said that the United States didn't need the oil that goes through the strait.
And yes, while the U.S.
does not import as much oil from the Gulf as other nations, President Trump's comments ignore the reality that oil prices are set globally and that a disruption like this in the strait
It's going to have ripple effects across the globe, including on the United States.
