Trump to Fox News: If they don't make a deal and fast, I'm considering blowing everything up and taking over the oil

MeidasTouch on Bluesky, posting about what Trump told a Fox reporter AFTER his crazy Truth Social post.

That reporter's tweet on X in a reply below.

Trump just told Fox reporter Trey Yingst he’s “considering blowing everything up and taking over the oil” if Iran doesn’t make a deal “fast”—while claiming he expects to be able to get a deal with Iran as soon as…tomorrow. Here we go again…

Occupying Iran will be a full time effort for our military for as long as we are there. I don't believe it will ever get easy. And Iran's leaders are crazier than Trump (can you imagine?), so who knows what they will do.
