These are two New York Times headlines from a few hours apart on Monday:
“Oil Prices Fall After Trump Says That Iran War is ‘Very Complete’”
“Trump Walks Back Idea That War Is Near End: U.S Gains ‘Not Enough’”
Now, Trump did not walk anything back, because that would require him to take a coherent position about anything ever, which he doesn’t and probably can’t. Trump just says whatever he feels will gain him the most personal advantage in any given moment. This fact about him has been obvious to anyone since *at least* he announced his candidacy for president more than ten years ago.
