Asking Trump about Iran beginning to seem cruel

It's getting pretty obvious that Trump has no clue how to handle the Israel-Iran conflict, making it seem almost cruel to keep asking him about it. Journalists trying to pin him down on whether the US will strike Iran are met with vague responses like 'I may do it, I may not do it,' leaving them convinced they're dealing with a tired, befuddled old man who's hopelessly out of his depth.

Thomas Logan from the New York Times remarked, "You can't just shove a microphone in the face of a bewildered senior and print their confused gibberish as a headline. It's not right." He added that Trump is clearly taken by surprise by the situation and, like many elderly folks, is struggling to catch up. His loyalties are in a twist: he loves Israel but is against war, hates Iran but they're allies with Putin. Even a sharp mind would find that tricky.

Logan continued, "When he's coming out with 'I mean, nobody knows what I'm going to do,' it's basically a cry for help. He wants someone to tell him what to do, but his defense secretary is an unqualified alcoholic who's fired all his advisers."

From now on, journalists are determined not to print anything Trump says about Iran unless it's coherent policy. No more 'I like to make a final decision one second before it's due, you know?' They know he doesn't understand a word he's saying.

Later, Trump is expected to confuse Iran with Iraq, bizarrely claim the US has always supported Hezbollah, launch into an irrelevant tale about a Jewish businessman he once knew, veer off into a discussion about flagpoles, and then, just for good measure, order a nuclear strike.
