March 9: "We're now totally independent of the Middle East. We don't need their oil."

April 1: "It doesn't really affect us. We have so much oil. We have tremendous oil and gas, much more than we need."

June 17: If I didn't agree to the MOU, we "would run out of reserves at about 4 weeks...we would really run out, and there'll be a time when you wouldn't be able to get it."

The message is pretty clear: This is Hawkish Kevin, not Sock Puppet Kevin.

The President isn't getting the rates cuts he wants.

Trump says that Iran "has to have" ballistic missiles, adding "what am I going to do? Am I going to let Saudi Arabia have missiles but they can't have them?"

@Timodc "Nobody even knows who he is" = Trump didn't know who he was until primary.

Today I learned that in addition to wanting to buy Greenland, Trump wanted to sell or give away Puerto Rico (via the @NewYorker)

NEW: President Trump lost. The war he waged against Iran promises to conclude this week in a humbling whimper

And the United States is now left weaker—diminished militarily, strategically, economically, and perhaps morally https://t.co/l4mOJvK18G

Putin's most ridiculous double was sent into crowds today in Russia's city of Kazan.

This is the lowest ranking double, often sent into huge crowds, a giant head like a massive beach ball, this is the most expendable Putin.

Trump’s longtime critique of Iraq war was that we didn’t “take the oil.” Then he started a new war in Iran and instead of taking their oil he’s giving them $300 billion and control of a waterway.

His entire business career and schtick in a nutshell honestly.

"Nothing to do with it, we sell weapons to them." Acknowledging your role is marginal because you made it so is the first step toward realizing you don't have the card to negotiate or impose any settlement.

"Speaking to reporters, he reiterated his position [on Ukraine] that it is not America’s fight. 'We have nothing to do with it, we sell weapons to them,' Mr. Trump said. 'It has no impact on us, other than we sell weapons. We’re thousands of miles away.'"

Hillary Clinton says when she was Secretary of State there was “constant” and “relentless” pressure by Prime Minister Netanyahu and then-Defense Minister Ehud Barak to secure U.S. backing for a military strike against Iran.

Clinton recalled hours-long phone calls where Israeli officials used leverage tactics, frequently telling her their "planes are on the tarmac" to imply an imminent, unilateral strike.

Clinton says she would respond to pressure like that with: "Well, good luck."

The New Yorker’s David Remnick asks if she felt the U.S. was being manipulated or "played" by a foreign ally that receives an enormous amount of American aid, Clinton agreed and said it happened "all the time" due to Netanyahu's intense focus on the issue.

Different people learn at different rates and in different ways that even if Trump does what you want, he'll tend to do it in the most corrupt and incompetent way possible. He's more likely to discredit or destroy your cause than advance it. The Iran War is no exception.
