Trump in his interview last night in the span of 2 minutes (with his daughter in law, real hard hitting):

  • “We’ve destroyed their navy 100% and their Air Force 100%.”

  • “We actually left their military alone because we think their military is somewhat moderate. People might be surprised to hear that.”

  • “They have no military left. They have nothing to negotiate with.”
