I suppose this is to save Whiskey Pete from conviction in the Senate come late January 2027. [And he’s certainly been told — if Pete goes down, he won’t get any replacement Defense Secy. through the now Deep Blue US Senate. Nor will he have any budgetary discretion — to run unlawful “police actions” — in Venezuela.]
None of it will work / stick — as he forgets what he says day to day.
These days, he just about always repeats whatever he’s last heard, before he steps to the mic — in this case, from a lobbying meeting with Qataris.
But. . . to be fair:
I. Honestly. Will. Mostly. Tune. His. Blather. Out — for the next two years.
He will have zero budget authority — and is likely to see re-invigorated Watergate-era anti-corruption laws imposed rather forcefully, upon his cantaloupe-tanned hide. But here is the blather, just the same — with a debunker from AlJazeera:
…United States President Donald Trump has signalled that he considers the US-Israel war on Iran “effectively” at an end, after meeting Qatar’s prime minister in Washington, DC.
In a surprise briefing on Monday, Trump reiterated his position that the US had destroyed Iran’s military. But his remarks suggested he faces pressure from allies in the Middle East to bring hostilities to a close….
As I say — this is putridly stupid fake news. He will likely say the opposite in a few days. Who cares?!
