Does Sarah Eisen love nuzzling Trump's taint?   Unggggggmmmm!!

Tariff revenue is collected from the US private sector.  I'd like to hear Sarah explain how that's good for the economy,  but is she too busy giving The Donald a hummer, too admit it?

Flailing Trump, 79, Can’t Keep His Story Straight on the War He Just Started

 

President Donald Trump can’t seem to explain why he went to war with Iran or what his goals are for the military campaign.

The president has given four different explanations in two days about how long he plans to bomb Iran and what he envisions for the country’s future, leading to accusations that he’s making up the deadly military campaign as he goes along.

The administration has also given shifting explanations about why Trump started the war in the first place.

 
 

The repeated contradictions suggest the president does not have a long-term strategy in place for the joint U.S.-Israeli bombing campaign, which killed Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and triggered a wave of retaliatory attacks in the region that left three American soldiers dead.

“All I want is freedom for the people,” Trump told The Washington Post at about 4 a.m. local time on Saturday, soon after announcing “major combat operations” against Iran.

Later that day, he told Axios that he could end the war in “two to three days” if Iran’s new leaders agreed to end its nuclear program.

Then on Sunday, he said the ongoing attacks would last “four to five weeks,” and insisted that it wouldn’t be hard for Israel and the U.S. to continue bombing Iran despite the risk of more U.S. troops dying in a wider regional conflict, The New York Times reported.

 
 

One option, Trump said, would be to leave most of the government intact, like in Venezuela, but with leaders who were willing to work with the U.S. to avoid further attacks. He said he had “three very good choices” about who could lead Iran.

But then, on Sunday night, Trump changed his story yet again by telling Jonathan Karl of ABC News that the top candidates to take over Iran had been killed in the initial attack on Saturday.

“The attack was so successful it knocked out most of the candidates,” Trump told Karl, according to a post on X by a veteran Washington correspondent.

On Sunday, Iran’s top national security official, Ali Larijani, said an interim committee would run the country until a successor for the supreme leader was chosen, the Times reported.

 
 

The president appeared to be calling up journalists to “workshop different timelines and goals for his war,” The Economist’s Middle East correspondent Gregg Carlstrom remarked in a post on X.

“He’s throwing spaghetti at the wall,” Carlstrom said, adding that there were “plenty of possible scenarios in which Trump declares victory and leaves the region with an absolute mess.”

According to Politico, the president spoke to 10 different reporters over the weekend but failed to offer consistent, specific answers to their questions about his plans or the justification for the war.

The administration’s explanations for why Trump ordered the strikes have been equally murky.

 
 

The White House on Saturday claimed that after weeks of deliberations, Trump finally decided to launch a full-scale attack against Iran because the U.S. had received indications that the country was planning to launch missile attacks against U.S. bases.

But during a briefing with congressional staffers, Pentagon officials said there was no evidence that Iran had been planning preemptive strikes.

During a video announcing the strikes, Trump also claimed Iran was building missiles that “could soon reach the American homeland.”

U.S. intelligence assessments, however, contradicted that claim, finding that Iran was years away from developing intercontinental ballistic missiles and wasn’t interested in doing so.

 
 

After the U.S. military’s Central Command announced that three soldiers had been killed at a base in Kuwait and five seriously wounded, Democratic lawmakers blasted the president for putting service members in harm’s way without laying out a plan for victory in the region.

In a video statement Sunday, Trump shrugged off the casualties as “the way it is.”

Rep. Pat Ryan of New York, a 43-year-old combat veteran of the Iraq War, told CNN’s Kaitlan Collins that it was “pathetic” the president hadn’t provided answers to the families of the fallen soldiers.

“It’s because he doesn’t have answers,” Ryan said. “There’s not a plan here, or if there is, he’s not sharing it with the American people.”

 
 

The former U.S. Army intelligence officer said the Iran campaign was reminiscent of “past ill-conceived, half-baked regime-change wars that sound good until they start, and then all of a sudden, no one knows what the heck is going on, and it’s young American men and women that pay the price.”

Reached for comment, a White House spokesperson told the Daily Beast the president had articulated three “clear, achievable” goals for military operations against Iran: destroying the threats posed by Iran’s ballistic missiles, missile industry, and navy.

Trump takes unconventional approach to communicating to the public about war in Iran

Typical of an unconventional presidency, the Trump administration waited more than 48 hours to make any live, public communication to the American peopleabout why it had decided to go to war with Iran.

President Donald Trump discussed why he launched the attack prior to a White House ceremony honoring military heroes on Monday but took no questions from reporters. Earlier in the day, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Dan Caine briefed journalists at the Pentagon.

The two days previous, Trump delivered two pretaped statements that were released on Truth Social, the social media site owned by the president's media company, and granted telephone interviews to more than a dozen journalists — several of which produced fragmented responses that, to some, clouded as much as they cleared up.

 
 

The communications strategy opened Trump to criticism that he hadn't done enough to explain the rationale and objectives of the war, even as the American military suffered its first casualties. By contrast, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has teamed with the U.S. against Iran, delivered two statements the day the war began and addressed reporters Monday at the site of a missile attack that killed nine people. The Israeli military has held multiple press briefings each day.

“The American people need a commander in chief, and he has been absent in that role,” Rahm Emanuel, White House chief of staff under President Barack Obama, said on CNN Monday. Emanuel, a Democrat, is contemplating a run for the presidency in 2028.

An unconventional strategy leads to criticism

Peter Baker, chief White House correspondent for The New York Times, wrote on social media that “after Trump launched a new war on Iran, he did not rush back to the White House to make an Oval Office address to rally the nation as other presidents have done. He stayed at Mar-a-Lago to attend a glitzy political fundraiser.”

That post provoked a response from Steven Cheung, White House communications director. “Imagine being a reporter so consumed with Trump Derangement Syndrome that he wants President Trump to mimic the failed policies of the past. The truth is that President Trump spent the majority of his time monitoring the situation in a secure facility, in constant contact with world leaders, and made multiple addresses to the nation that garnered hundreds of millions of views. He also took dozens of calls with reporters.”

 
 

The calls included one with Baker's colleague at The Times, Zolan Kanno-Youngs. Trump's mobile phone number is known to many of the reporters who cover him, and the president often takes their calls for on-the-spot interviews. Besides The Times, he spoke in the aftermath of the attack to journalists for ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, CNBC, Fox News Channel, The Atlantic, The Washington Post, Axios, Politico and an Israeli television station.

Most of the calls were brief and marginally illuminating; Politico's Dasha Burns said Trump answered but said he was too busy to talk. The public couldn't hear what Trump said in the interviews and was dependent upon what the journalists chose to report on the conversations.

“I spoke to President Trump today and he told me that the operation in Iran is going to go very fast,” Libby Alon, a reporter for Channel 14 News in Israel, wrote about her interview on X. “It’s doing very well, and (will) make the people of Israel very happy, and the people of the world very happy.”

The Times reported that in its six-minute chat, Trump “offered several seemingly contradictory visions of how power might be transferred to a new government — or even whether the existing Iranian power structure would run that government or be overthrown.”

 
 

In one of his two conversations with Trump, ABC News' Jonathan Karl said when he asked about the death of Iranian Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the president said: “I got him before he got me. They tried twice. Well I got him first.” CNN's Jake Tapper went on the air minutes after his conversation Monday, saying Trump told him “the big one is coming soon,” an apparent reference to a future attack.

Asked for comment, White House spokeswoman Anna Kelly said: “President Trump is the most transparent and accessible president in American history. The American people have never had a more direct and authentic relationship with a president of the United States than they have with President Trump.”

Hegseth briefing concentrates on friendly reporters

Pentagon reporters learned late Sunday about Hegseth's briefing. Reporters from The Associated Press, Reuters, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, Fox News Channel and Stars & Stripes were permitted into the briefing room, but Hegseth did not call on them. Instead, he took questions from NewsNation and Trump-friendly outlets like the Daily Caller, Daily Wire, One America News and the Christian Broadcasting Network. Most mainstream news outlets left their regular stations at the Pentagon last fall rather than agree to Hegseth's rules restricting their work.

Hegseth denounced the “foolishness” of people wanting to know details of the operation in advance, such as whether Americans would commit to more than air power, and said the operation would continue as long as it took to achieve objections. He initially ignored NBC News' Courtney Kube when she called out a question: “President Trump put a four-week time limit on it. Are you saying he's wrong?”

 
 

Later, Hegseth denounced Kube for asking “the typical NBC sort of gotcha-type question. President Trump has all the latitude in the world to talk about how long it might take — four weeks, two weeks, six weeks, it could move up, it could move back. We're going to execute at his command the objectives he set out to achieve."

 

Unlike Pentagon briefings in past administrations, reporters were given assigned seats, with the Trump-friendly outlets seated in front. Jennifer Griffin, Hegseth's former colleague at Fox News Channel who left the Pentagon with other reporters after not accepting his new rules, was seated in the last row.
