Why would Trump do this attack?

You heard Margaret Brennan there say Trump campaigned on not getting in wars.

I did, after Face the Nation, I also did State of the Union with Dana Bash.

And Dana Bash asked a question of me.

She said, you know, President Trump campaigned on no more wars.

And I, in my response, I said, well, Dana, you actually misquoted what the president said.

What the president said was no more forever wars.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And I said, listen, we're not going to see troops on the ground in Iran.

We're not going to see hundreds of thousands of Americans there for an extended period of time.

I don't think we'll see that at all.

That is very different.

And I said, look, there are isolationists who want

want America to withdraw from the world.

Donald Trump has never been an isolationist and he is acting to protect America.

This is America first.

The reason we are striking Iran right now is because the odds are unacceptably high.
