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

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.
