“Iran’s strategy was so obvious. They wanted to produce as many missiles as possible, and they did with the longest range possible, and they had some weapons that nobody believed they had. We just learned that out. We took them out, we took them all out so that no one would really dare stop them.”

One thing about him is that he has just so many kinds of stupidity that one ends up overwhelmed.

I mean you are wincing at “we just learned that out”, before considering that it is unlikely that the world’s biggest intelligence apparatus didn’t have a pretty good idea of what weapons Iran had.

Then he finishes up with “we took them all out so that no one would really dare stop them”. What the hell does that mean?

I don’t know. I guess it is just another example of Trump’s pathological lying.

Part of what he does is trigger rises and falls in the markets which I’m sure he does well out of.
