President Trump thinks that an event where he is surrounded by children is the best time to discuss the Iran war, and then doze off.
On Tuesday, at a signing ceremony in the Oval Office to restore the Presidential Fitness Award, Trump went off on a tangent on the war while thanking some members of his Cabinet, including Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, whom he praised for a press conference earlier in the day.
“That was really great and you’re doing very well,” Trump said from his seat at the Resolute Desk, turning to Hegseth. Then, he abruptly changed the subject to Iran.
“They don’t like playing games with us. They don’t like it at all, you’ll see that. As time goes by, you’re gonna see it. I think you’ve already seen it, we’ve basically wiped out their military in about two weeks,” Trump added, with kids and senior officials on either side of him. Later, Trump went further, describing Iran’s leaders as “sick people” and “lunatics” that he would not allow to have a nuclear weapon.
