2:05Now Playing"The president is battling dual impulses. He’s in some senses an isolationist. He says American first, I don’t want to be involved in these quagmires in the Middle East. But he also wants to be a tough guy. He wants to project strength and say: If any of these countries, if any of these leaders threaten anyone in the U.S., threaten Americans abroad, then I’m going to go after them with fire and fury. And I think he’s battling those two impulses."
Our panel explains why President Trump, who wants to pull US troops out of the Middle East, ordered a strike on an Iranian general.
Panelists: Michael Crowley of the New York Times, Lisa Desjardins of the PBS NewsHour, Toluse Olorunnipa of the Washington Post, Susan Page of USA Today, and Nancy Youssef of the Wall Street Journal
