Summary

President Trump just gave his first live comments since the war with Iran began.  He laid out the objectives and justification for going to war, saying Iran “would soon have had missiles capable of reaching our beautiful America.”   He also said the timeline for the war would be “whatever time it takes” and then made a bizarre transition to talking about East Wing drapery and new ballroom construction.”
