This guy is just fucking delusional.

“They did obliterate it, it turned out,” Trump told Bartiromo, insisting Iran’s nuclear capabilities were destroyed. “We had to suffer the fake news with the fake news of CNN and The New York Times, [which were] saying, well, maybe it wasn’t as good as Trump said. Maybe it wasn’t totally obliterated.”

“It turned out, no, it was obliterated like nobody’s ever seen before,” he continued. “And that meant the end to their nuclear ambitions, at least for a period of time.”

What is it with his obsession with "like nobody's ever seen before" narratives? Counterpoint: Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Dresden ... the list goes on.

This is exactly the sort of situation journalism is designed for. Government lied, we have receipts, here's the story.
