DEJA VU: Dubya ignored "Bin Laden Determined To Strike In U.S.." Trump "doesn't care" what Gabbard says about Iran. [View all]

As Donald Trump prepared to leave the G7 summit in Canada ahead of schedule, the president took a moment to publish an item to his social media platform, which read in part, “Simply stated, IRAN CAN NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON. I said it over and over again!”

He then said it over and over again. Less than an hour later, he published a follow-up missive to add, “Somebody please explain to kooky Tucker Carlson that, ‘IRAN CAN NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON!’” In case that was too subtle, six minutes later, Trump again wrote, “IRAN CAN NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON.”

He also dismissed congressional testimony from National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard, who told lawmakers in March that U.S. spy agencies did not believe Iran was building a nuclear weapon. ‘I don’t care what she said,’ Trump said. ‘I think they were very close to having it.’

He appeared quite serious about this.
