Trump's comments in Amsterdam are a joke. He claims the DOD's Defense Intelligence Agency initial analysis is wrong because "it's only been three days", when he himself waited barely three hours to declare Iran's nuclear facilities "obliterated".

He went on to argue that it's obvious these facilities were destroyed because "all you have to do is look at the pictures" -- as though the DIA didn't analyze the same photos (and no doubt many more) in much more detail and depth than Hurricane Sharpie Clown could ever hope to muster.

Trump is at war with the concept of a shared reality. Ok, maybe he's ok with the "reality" that Fox and the other MAGA media create and try to maintain since it's their attempt to use whatever he's saying this day or moment as the structural basis for what they advance. Trump is the ultimate solipsist, I think.
