"There is breaking news that Donald Trump has privately expressed serious interest in deploying U.S. troops on the ground inside of Iran. And that's brand new reporting from NBC News, according to two U.S. officials, a former U.S. official and another person with knowledge of the conversations. That is a lot of people providing this information to NBC."
"Because today, the president who just launched the United States into a war with Iran just seven days ago, and who is now apparently expressing interest in sending U.S. ground troops into that war, which is, of course, the fear that millions of Americans, people with children, people with grandchildren have around the country."
"Even as that's going on, he hosted a roundtable for college sports officials today where he seemed, well, laser focused on how to fix what he called the mess of how college athletes are paid, and even to Fox News reporter Peter Doocy, my old buddy Peter Doocy. The issue of how college athletes are paid did seem, well, kind of secondary to the all-out regional war Donald Trump started."
Jen Psaki, MS NOW host and former Biden White House press secretary, defended Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy after Trump attacked him for asking about Russian involvement in targeting Americans. During a sports roundtable, Trump dismissed Doocy's question as stupid. Meanwhile, NBC News reported that Trump has privately expressed serious interest in deploying U.S. ground troops inside Iran, discussing the idea with aides and Republican officials. This occurred just seven days after Trump launched military action against Iran. Psaki highlighted the contradiction between Trump's apparent focus on college sports pay issues at the roundtable and the serious implications of potential ground troop deployment in a regional conflict.
