'They're walking around without legs': Trump rambles on world stage for half-hour trying to justify Iran war at G7 [View all]
‘ President Donald Trump on Wednesday spent nearly an hour attempting to offer multiple justifications of his decision to go to war with Iran and defended the deal his negotiators struck to end the fighting after more than 100 days.
Speaking at the end of his trip to France for this year's Group of Seven summit, the president opened his remarks by touting the 60-day memorandum of understanding as one that "achieves everything we set out to accomplish, everything and much more."
"Ending the current conflict, reopening the Strait of Hormuz, and preventing Iran from ever obtaining a nuclear weapon, that's what was all about. That was about 99% Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon, they can't develop it, buy it, they can never have a nuclear weapon," he said.
Trump then briefly pivoted to bragging about stock market gains in the days since the White House announced the tentative agreement with Tehran before claiming that the agreement was "years in the making" because he had ordered the killing of Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps leader Gen. Qassem Soleimani, who he praised as a "mad genius" who Tehran was never fully able to replace.

Like that older relative who rambles on and on at a family holiday gathering.
