Asked about what he thought of today’s statement from Iran’s Foreign Minister saying Iran would not be swayed by threats after President Trump said the U.S. would strike Iranian power plants if the Strait of Hormuz was not reopened within 48 hours, Trump told NewsNation:

“Ok, let’s see whether or not he’s right.”

Regarded plainly, it’s a perfectly empty statement. Will the Foreign Minister of Iran be swayed by threats? He says not. What will Trump “see”? That the Foreign Minister blinks? Or that Trump turns his threats to action, at which point Iran has not been swayed by threats.

Language, how does it work, again?

Trump really has no idea how to bully someone who won’t be bullied.
