What happened during Trump's cabinet meeting on the war?

Ben Meiselas 0:00
Donald Trump just crashed out during a cabinet meeting in the White House regarding this disastrous war in Iran. Donald Trump began by saying, we don't even need the Strait of Hormuz. Watch what he said. Here, play this clip.
Donald Trump 0:14
And you know, they're affected. The amazing thing is we don't need the Hormuz Strait. We don't need it. We don't need it at all. We have so much oil. Our country is not affected by this. We have twice the amount of oil as Saudi Arabia or Russia, and soon it'll be three times the amount. Chris, do you want to speak to that for a minute?

Then Donald Trump said that the reason he's now asking for NATO's help is that it was a test and they failed the test and he will never forget. He will remember the fact that he thinks he's been screwed over by NATO because he and Netanyahu invaded Iran without telling NATO he was going to do it.
Donald Trump 0:53
Play this clip. Nobody's a match for the United States, but they're not a match for the United States. It's small potatoes. That's why I'm so disappointed in NATO, because this was a test for NATO. This was a test. You can help us. You don't have to. But if you don't have, you know, if you don't do that, we're going to remember. Just remember. Remember this in a number of months from now. Remember my statements.

How does Trump justify the U.S. oil situation?

Donald Trump 1:20
They have an expression. A great expression. Never forget. You can never forget.
Ben Meiselas 1:27
But for Donald Trump, he says this is just a nice little detour, a detour, and it won't be long. Watch how deranged this is. Here, play this clip.
Donald Trump 1:36
Has been put into our country in the last year. And again, we had to take a little detour. Won't be long. Gonna end soon. We had to take a little detour, go to Iran, and we had to put out a fire.
Ben Meiselas 1:50
Next, a reporter asked Donald Trump, so are you going to take control of Iran's oil? And Donald Trump, before answering that question, says, we're beating the shit out of them. We're beating the shit out of Iran. Again, this is how the United States president is communicating. It is so horrific. And all it is doing, it is emboldening the regime in Iran to try to galvanize support there against the United States. Here, play this clip.
Donald Trump 2:19
The reason they want to make a deal is they have been just beat to shit.
Pete Hegseth 2:24
Are you thinking of taking control of Iran's oil?
Donald Trump 2:29
It's an option. I mean, I wouldn't talk about it, but it's an option. Is that something you thought about? Well, in Venezuela, we've done very well working with Venezuela, certainly. We've taken in billions and billions of dollars. And by the way, Venezuela is doing better right now than they've ever done in the history of their country.
Ben Meiselas 2:47
Next, Donald Trump says that if he were to do certain things and tell the press what his plans were, that his cabinet might invoke the 25th Amendment. Let's play it.
Donald Trump 2:59
I don't want to embarrass you, because I think you're, I think she's a friendly reporter, so I'm sorry. But, you know, I can't say what we're going to do, because if I did... I wouldn't be sitting here for long. They'd probably, what is it called, the 25th Amendment?
Unknown 3:14
They'd institute the 25th Amendment, which they didn't do with Biden, which is shocking.
Ben Meiselas 3:21
Then Donald Trump, after talking about the 25th Amendment, says, I don't want any people with mental disabilities to be the president.

What did Trump say about NATO's role in the conflict?

Ben Meiselas 3:30
okay donald here play this clip i said i have no problem with it but i don't want a person with mental disability to be my president i mean you don't want to have a person with mental disability being a president and then donald trump said that he's been reading that he's desperate to make a deal he goes i'm not desperate i'm not desperate let's play this clip it would be nice if
Donald Trump 3:54
Like the fake news, New York Times, which writes so fake. And the Wall Street Journal is terrible, terrible. I mean, I read a story today that I'm desperate to make a deal. I'm not, I don't, if I was desperate, he'd be the first to know me. Let's get the hell out of there. I'm the opposite of desperate. I don't care. I want to know. In fact, we have other targets we want to hit before we leave. We're hitting them on a daily basis.
