The Clueless President

1) take over the country!

2) eliminate the government?

3) destroy their military capacity?

4) Pick the government leader?

5) break up Iran into smaller countries?

6) lower gas prices?

6) make the world safe for democracy?

Trump: We've left some of the most important targets for later in case we need to do it. If we hit them, it will take many years for them to be rebuilt having to do with electricity production and many other things… we could take them all out in one day. pic.twitter.com/gNSS9iWHuH

Trump on Military Objective in Iran: Some people could say they're pretty well-complete. We wiped every single force in Iran out. pic.twitter.com/MWrbHXHb8O

Trump: We are ahead of our initial timeline by a lot. I would say that we probably would not have thought, after a month, we would be here. In addition to the fact that we have taken out the leadership twice, maybe three times pic.twitter.com/0Kcklw9FZj

Probably four. Who knows?

Didn’t he say this about the bomb run last year?

Trump on Iran’s Leadership: We want to be involved. We don't want another president who wouldn't be willing to do what I'm willing to do for the good of our world and nation to be stuck with this situation 5 or 10 years from now. We think they should put a president in ahead of… pic.twitter.com/s1iytTkJw2

Trump on Iran’s Leadership: We want to be involved. We don't want another president who wouldn't be willing to do what I'm willing to do for the good of our world and nation to be stuck with this situation 5 or 10 years from now. We think they should put a president in ahead of the country that's going to be able to do something peacefully for a change.

Says the guy who then said this:

Trump: All of the people that died through the roadside bombs. Died and are right now walking around with no legs. pic.twitter.com/0TMemHeQyL

Trump: I will not allow a terrorist regime to hold the world hostage and attempt to stop the global oil supply and if Iran does anything to do that, they'll get hit at a much, much harder level. I will take out those targets that were easy and that I mentioned just before. pic.twitter.com/SaxFkqQHKP

The mere presence of battle shutdown the Straits. It scared the insurance underwriters. Maybe if you left Iran alone….

Q: You said the war is 'very complete.' But your defense secretary says 'this is just the beginning.' So which is it?

TRUMP: You could say both pic.twitter.com/4orXm5ZM4b

Uh-huh.

Trump: It doesn't really affect us. We have so much oil. We have tremendous oil and gas, much more than we need. We have Venezuela now as our new partner… We're also waiving certain oil related sanctions to reduce prices pic.twitter.com/bu9sVabiFp

He doesn’t understand how the global oil market works, does he?

Trump on the Strait of Hormuz: "I want to keep it open. I want to keep it good. You know it doesn't pertain to us as much as it does to China. We're really helping China here and other countries." pic.twitter.com/moI97UYijH

Not the first clue.

Reporter: A video appears to show a tomahawk missile likely destroyed that Iranian girls school. Will the US accept any responsibility?

Trump: I will say that the tomahawk is sold and used by other countries. And whether it's Iran who also has some tomahawks, they wish they had… pic.twitter.com/wwRIjDmuAP

Told you. A missile wearing a disguise.

Reporter: Do you have to take out the new supreme leader?

Trump: I don’t want to say that. pic.twitter.com/ak79jmZffh

Didn’t he just say he’s taken out the government leaders three times?

Trump: "The relationship is extraordinary with Venezuela. Smart country. We've taken out 100 million barrels of oil. It's right now in Houston being taken care of and made so beautiful." pic.twitter.com/L0mS8DGOWq

That’s about 20 days of Texas oil production. Annual production in the Permian Basin alone is about 2 billion barrels annually. And that’s only 45% of American oil production. 

100 million barrels is literally a drop in the bucket.

Literally no clue at all.
