Hey, everybody. Tim over from the bulwark here. I just got off with my friends Nicole Wallace and Tom Nichols and Claire McCaskill for a power panel on Deadline White House. And we were mostly talking about war stuff and the reaction and the political fallout for Donald Trump. While we were on air, Trump was giving a speech to the Republicans who had gathered at his club in Florida,

because, you know, the grift has to continue for every possible cent.

Trump has to squeeze every possible scent that he can out of us, the taxpayers,

and by ensuring that these gatherings happen at his fucking shitty hotels.

So anyway,

in that speech,

Trump is rambling and he's doing like the thing he's been doing from the start of,

of this,

which is not giving a coherent vision or strategy for what is happening with the war.

On the one hand,

he said,

we've already won in many ways, you know, but then we haven't won enough.

We're not going to relent until the enemy is totally indecisively defeated, but we don't exactly know how that's going to happen or what it will look like after.

On why we got in, he threw out that they were going to attack us 100% within the week.

Like, who is us there?

I guess it would be an interesting follow-up question because they certainly weren't

going to attack the American homeland within the week.

But anyway, we press four.

There's a lot more of that.

It's just, dude is not really

lasered in on what the reason was

for the war or what the plan is
