"We took a little excursion because we felt we had to do that to get rid of some evil. I think you'll see it is going to be a short-term excursion. How good is our military? Jesus! How good? They're great. You know we're all together. In my first term, we rebuilt our military and I didn't know I'd be using it so much in the second term, but we have a military like no other."
"In a phone interview, President Trump told me the war could be over soon: I think the war is very complete, pretty much. They have no navy, no communications, they've got no Air Force. He added that the U.S. is very far ahead of his initial 4-5 week estimated time frame."
"What I want your viewers to understand is, this is only just the beginning. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said he and Trump were willing to go as far as we need to go to knock out Iran's theocratic regime, including putting boots on the ground."
Trump addressed Congressional Republicans at his Doral golf course retreat, claiming his first year was the best of any president and crediting Republican support for rapid progress in making America great again. He described military action against Iran as a necessary short-term excursion to eliminate evil, emphasizing the superiority of the rebuilt U.S. military. Trump told CBS News the war is very complete with Iran having no navy, communications, or air force, claiming progress far exceeds his initial 4-5 week estimate. However, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's comments to 60 Minutes suggested willingness to escalate further, including ground troops, contradicting Trump's short-term characterization.
