Signing off for the night! Let me know if you have any questions.
Here’s one last quote from Trump that John Bennett of Roll Call sent me.
Trump on Iran:
“We have total control over the Hormuz Strait right now. They don't have control. We have total control. We own it. And at some point, maybe they'll do something and then they get blown away. But right now, we're in a very good position. We have a country that has been the bully of the Middle East for 50 years … 51 if you think about it. We've been saying 47 for four years, and they're no longer the bully in the Middle East. Thank you very much.”
Good night!
