"Trump departs for a high-stakes trip to Beijing, China this week, but when he was asked about the summit during an Oval Office event on Monday, he veered off into a lengthy and bonkers digression. On Monday night's edition of MS NOW's The Last Word, Velshi set the table for Trump's trip to China with a commentary that painted the president as weak and the United States as diminished by him."
"During what was supposed to be a maternal health care event in the Oval Office, Donald Trump launched into a meandering and sometimes surreal monologue after he was asked about this really important upcoming China. Trump began by saying that he has a great relationship with President Xi. Then he went on to call Iranian leaders lunatics, before marveling at what he described as the coolness of military operators intercepting missiles within seconds."
"I would say the ceasefire is on massive life support where the doctor walks in and says, sir, your loved one has approximately a 1 percent chance of living."
"We had 111 shot at one of our ships over a very short period of time, out of 111 missiles going at 3,000 miles an hour, all 111 missiles were knocked down into the ocean prior, long prior to arriving at the target. And the cool guys, the coolest guys are the guys that do this. You know they're not brawn. They're brain. They sit there, missile shot. You got to see it happening. Missiles coming. They got like about 13 seconds to make a decision. It's not like, gee, let's figure it out. They make a wrong calculation."
Trump departed for a high-stakes trip to Beijing, China. During an Oval Office event on Monday, he was asked about the summit but veered into a lengthy digression. He described having a great relationship with President Xi, then attacked Iranian leaders as lunatics. He also commented on military operators intercepting missiles within seconds, portraying the process as rapid and decision-driven. The remarks included a detailed description of intercepting 111 missiles and the short time available to make decisions. The event was framed as chaotic and disconnected from the maternal health care setting.
