8:48Now PlayingTrump told the country that air traffic control towers are “literally falling down” and that grass “is a life also.” Then he threatened to erase Iran’s bridges and power plants inside two hours—and analysts started putting a date on $7-a-gallon gas.
David Shuster walks the tape, glitch by glitch, and then follows the oil inventory curve to the place where this stops being a competency story and starts being a grocery-bill story.
🔹 The Oval Office photo op: towers “literally falling down,” when not one has fallen
🔹 “The grass is like human beings, grass is a life also”
🔹 Mardi Gras “just finished,” in July
🔹 The UK as “a prime suspect,” when he means a prime target
🔹 The trams, “the Star War thing,” and “nobody knows what’s going on”
🔹 Xi promised no weapons for Iran. Four hundred rocket launchers say otherwise, and Trump shrugs: “things like that happen”
🔹 Iranian ballistic missiles hit a US base in Jordan, all four intercepted—and Trump calls return fire a “surprise attack”
🔹 “We are going to beat the effing S out of them,” then “if I can avoid doing that, I’d like to do that,” in the same breath
🔹 The oil inventories, the mid-August iceberg, and $160 to $180 a barrel
🔹 Why the analysts keep saying the words “Herbert Hoover”
