Well, howdy there, internet people it spell again. So today, we're going to talk about Trump

setting the scene to leave Iran. Trump decided to talk a little more about his plans for Iran.

And to be honest, in some ways, it really just seemed like he was trying to calm the oil markets.

But in others, well, he was all over the place.

At various points, he said the U.S. mission there was pretty well complete.

Then he said, we haven't won enough.

At one point, he said it would be over soon.

Then at another, he said not this week.

The messaging was so bad that it's prompted a lot of questions about what exactly he meant.

Here's one. Quote, Bell, you said Trump should just declare victory and walk away, that it's the only move that makes sense. Am I giving him too much credit, or is his chicken and waffles, I love that term,

by the way, about the timeline and goals, him trying to push the idea out there that his goals

weren't really regime change? I don't want to say he's doing

4D chess, but it seems like he's Jedi mind-tricking the media into forgetting what he said.

Am I really wrong about this? Does he realize how much he messed this up? Do you think people will

realize that he actually made things worse?

And then he'd just be giving up. Okay. So let's start with this. Trump is not a source.

But Rubio kind of is. If you understand his messages are specifically crafted for the Maga base.

Forget about what Trump said. Rubio said and State Department's social media pushed out a

pretty specific talking point. Quote, the goals of the mission against the Iran regime are clear.

Destroy their ability to launch missiles.

Destroy factories making these missiles.

Destroy their navy.
