Trump’s Fox News pals are picking new Iran targets live on-air
It wasn’t immediately clear which dozens of potential targets he was talking about. However, some of the president’s favorite cable-news personalities have seemed eager to recommend new locations for him to blow up. They’ve been telling Trump through the TV for days.
“Do they want their economic sites, their military sites, political sites and/or cultural sites targeted?” he said several days later on Fox News. “How about their oil and gas? If they don’t have energy, they have absolutely nothing.” Story continuesMoments later, he answered his own question: “I would imagine that those refineries and maybe even those nuclear sites that are buried deep underground could be potential targets.”
During a Fox & Friends interview, Rep. Michael Waltz attempted to justify Trump’s claim that he would strike 52 Iranian targets, including cultural sites, by suggesting a new strike could just be against the Iranian capital. Other prominent Trump allies and confidants have also floated alternative targets, even suggesting that the fact the president spared them shows his temperament and mercy.
