99 days ago, Trump said the war is “won.” 8 days later, he said the war “will be over soon.” On day two of the war, Trump said it could last “four weeks or so.” It is now day 111, and Trump has said the war is over or nearly over more times than days the war was supposed to last. 102 days ago, Trump said he won’t unilaterally decide when the war is over — it will be a mutual decision with Israel. But 54 days later Trump told Congress the war is over. Trump also calls the war “very popular” even though only 27% of Americans support the ongoing conflict, according to Reuters. Throughout all of these conflicting statements, one pattern is consistent: Trump makes a statement and Iran immediately disputes it, and vice versa.
