He later said: “So, we need, I, I would really, I’m demanding that these countries come in and protect their own territory because it is their territory, it’s the place from which they get their energy and they should come and they should help us protect it.”

Then came the line that quickly sparked reaction online:

“You could make the case that maybe we shouldn’t even be there at all because we don’t need it.”

It's Iran's terrority, and Iran is defending it after being attacked...

But I really think he's getting pressure from Christian extremists to abandon Israel. Their endgame was always Israel getting wiped out by its neighbors to start Armageddon and rapture Christians.

If no one joins against Iran, trump will likely try to slink away and Bibi holding the bag.

Trump is a moron and so are his supporters. It’s a moron horde.

“Sorry, your son died in this war. We shouldn’t even have been there.”

It's almost like he only joined in on the war because Israel was instructing him or something.

Epstein distraction turned into another mid term issue and no one stopped paying attention to the Epstein issue. Can't keep winning

Crazy reality when the bare minimum ideal to aim for is not electing senile pedophiles to the most influential position on the planet Earth.

Senile old pedo rapist "thinks" out loud...

This reveals how piss poor the planning was the lack of concern for the dead and wounded. Life is cheap under the MAGA fucks.

Man I sometimes have dreams that everyone suddenly realizes Trump is senile, is removed from office, the US apologizes for what he's done, pays everything back, presses undo on everything.
Its not too late. Undo America!

We ~~SHOULD~~ ~~SHOULD NOT~~ ~~SHOULD~~ ~~SHOULD NOT~~ ~~SHOULD~~ SHOULD NOT be at War!

-Free Thinking Republicans who Voted for Trump for Peace!

Explain to me who can possibly be stunned at this point that Donald Trump's a braindead moron who has no idea what's going on.

-> start a war with Iran for no reason

-> don't consult any allies apart from Israel

-> "EU and NATO assistance unnecessary"

-> turns out Iran is prepared and responds

-> "if NATO doesn't help, the alliance is over"

🤡🤡🤡

Watch him claim later on that he doesn't know why they're in Iran because he never gave the orders to do that. It must have been Hegseth.

“You could make the case that maybe we shouldn’t even be there at all because we don’t need it.”

“We have a lot of oil,” said Trump. “We were the number one producer anywhere in the world times two by double, at least double. Now I think it’s much higher than that. But we do it. It’s almost like we do it for habit, but we also do it for some very good allies that we have in the Middle East.”

That does not at all sound like a "probably we shouldn't be there" statement. It reads more like "some say we shouldn't but we do it anyways because ..."

Like he outright states he's doing it for Israel and because Israel asked him to and somehow convinced him. He's not backing down. That's not what he's saying there.

We were the number one producer anywhere in the world times two by double

TIL we produce 4x the amount of oil as any other country.

Senile

Every so often the truth comes out and it's shocking AF when it comes from there.

Oh my god… he is so stupid and worthless.

So, like, at what point does the rest of the world just declare war on us for the cabinet not using the 25th?

I dislike hom as much as the next guy but what he meant is very clearly not what the article implies. Baitclick

Is “stuns” really the right word to use anymore?
