CNN’s Dana Bash on Monday aired a supercut that exposed Trump’s repeated — and so far false — claims that the Iran war he launched on Feb. 28 with Operation Epic Fury is just days from being over. “One of President Trump’s tics, if you will, has historically been ‘two weeks’ ... whether it’s a plan or something is gonna end or gonna begin,” noted Bash. “That has been the case since the beginning of this war with Iran,” she said. The segment then cut to footage of Trump, from the early days of the conflict onward, claiming it’s “gonna be finished pretty quickly,” that a deal will be struck “soon,” that “we’re getting very close” to finishing, and that it’s “close to over.” Watch the montage here: By entering your email and clicking Sign Up, you're agreeing to let us send you customized marketing messages about us and our advertising partners.
