Yeah, he's saying this before the elections.

He's also saying he won't send troops on the ground.

Because he knows that both of those are wildly unpopular and more likely to wind him with him getting investigations going after him and his accomplices.

We'll see what he does after the elections.

It doesn't. He'll use some other term for "obliterate" within the year.

It doesn't matter because Trump's word is worthless

He has also relatively recently said that he doesn't rule anything out, which we all know is accurate because he changes his mind on a whim.

He'll have his hands full with impeachment hearings. /hopefully

Trump also reiterated that the war would end “very soon” whether by force or diplomacy and that oil prices would then drop.

Trump's been saying the war would end soon since the beginning, and he keeps repeating it. Eight months and counting.

It's wild how he kept using that most of his first failed term and not nearly enough people caught on to the bullshit.

"Two weeks" and "infrastructure week" become punchlines among the reality-based community, but the shame is that people in the press pool and the average American didn't burst out laughing when they heard donnie dumbass making some claim about either.

And now when we hear it we physically cringe because we know exactly what it means
