This one is unlikely to be any different. Why would Iran ever consider bragging to Trump about getting good press coverage? Where exactly is that coverage? And notice that Trump says in the same breath that Iran would not dispute it, and also that they would. Which point is trying to make?<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, Trump praises Iran&#8217;s PR prowess, but disparages their fighting ability. Even though Iran has held off Trump&#8217;s assault for four months now, when he said that this war would be over in a matter of days. And while the war is broadly opposed by huge majorities of the American people &#8211; dragging down Trump&#8217;s approval ratings and the Republican Party&#8217;s electoral prospects &#8211; Trump can&#8217;t seem to figure out any way to get out of it.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier Trump claimed to have <em>&#8220;dropped $250 million of bombs&#8221;<\/em> on Iran (a number that he plucked from his demented brain that is fixated on his U.S. birthday bash). So while the American people are struggling financially, Trump is wasting hundreds of millions of dollars for no benefit. he could have built another ballroom for that.<\/p>\n<p>Trump also said that <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/NewsCorpse\/status\/2065020306402800100\" target=\"_blank\">Iranians had called him in the White House Situation Room<\/a><\/strong> last night asking him to stop the bombing (that hadn&#8217;t started yet). However, cell phones are strictly prohibited in the Situation Room. So that was another imaginary conversation.<\/p>\n<p>Closing up the interview, Fox News host Ainsley Earhardt told Trump not to worry because <em>&#8220;Our viewers are watching Fox. So they see this coverage. They&#8217;re not reading the New York Times &#8220;<\/em> Which is an unusually honest appraisal of the Fox News audience that is deeply indoctrinated into the Trump cult and oblivious to any other source of information. Especially information that is truthful and aligned with reality. It was nice of Earhardt to admit that.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED STORIES:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=70039\" target=\"_blank\">Fox News Warns Against Giving the Nuclear Codes to Mentally Declining Presidents \u2013 Like Trump?<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=70016\" target=\"_blank\">BREAKING?
