Discussion on Military Strategy and Press

I'm going to get bad press. I know that.

Now, if I did the opposite,

if I went out and continued to bomb them for another four,

just bomb the hell out of them, I'd get bad press on that.

No, there's nothing I can do.

But what this does is it allows the ships to go.

If we, if we keep bombing, those ships won't be going.

And you're talking about 500, 600, 700 million dollars a day.

It's a lot of money, a lot of money.

That's why the world is OK. It's liquid. It's fine.

Also, we run out of reserves in about four weeks.

You know, there are reserves all over the world and we would really run out.

And there'll be a time when you wouldn't be able to get it.

And you want to see Bedlam.

So for all those so-called geniuses that want to show me how smart they are,

ask them, why didn't they blow up General Soleimani?

Ask that of the general and a couple of other people that I like very much.

But boy, they wrong. Go ahead.

How about you?
