BACKTRACK: Trump on talks with Iran: September 15 vs July 30

"The president's inconsistency on Iran and his ties to the Saudis don’t bode well for how he will handle a monumental foreign policy challenge."

Saudi Arabia oil supply was attacked,” he tweeted. “There is reason to believe that we know the culprit, are locked and loaded depending on verification, but are waiting to hear from the Kingdom as to who they believe was the cause of this attack, and under what terms we would proceed!”

In a flash, and most likely without consulting anyone else on his White House team, Trump indicated he was willing to put the U.S. military at the disposal of the Saudis and that he’d come out, guns blazing, whenever the Saudis thought the time was right.

Shortly after that, he noted that there was “PLENTY OF OIL!” and that no one should think that he stumbled in his own dealings with the Iranians — that perhaps the Iranians saw him softening and took advantage of him.

“The Fake News is saying that I am willing to meet with Iran, ‘No Conditions.’ That is an incorrect statement (as usual!),” he tweeted just after 7 p.m.

The problem with that one is that Trump did, in fact, say in June that he’d be willing to take a meeting with Iran with “no preconditions.” And several days ago Trump said he’d be willing to meet with Iranian President Hassan Rouhani at the upcoming United Nations General Assembly meeting in New York.

Just one week ago:

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday he could meet with Iranian President Hassan Rouhani and that he had no problem with such an encounter.

“ It could happen. It could happen. No problem with me," Trump told reporters at the White House.”

So the attack (AFTER he said no preconditions) doesn't allow for change in how he should react?

Looks to me like Trump is the fake news today.

Honestly, this is part of why I am thinking Trump won't take military action with Iran just yet, he just keep switching gears into these more and more bizarre things while ignoring that he earlier said he'd do.

What position do you hold in his cabinet, or are just guessing you know everything?

He is one lousy president.....

Sorry...I deleted and posted the comment to another know-it-all...lol

Arm-chair quarterbacks who could never hold a government position in their local community yet they give their stupid opinions on what the President of the United States should be doing. It's funny.

Ahh Nutmeg.... you suck the balls of Trump..... that makes you a dumb conservative....

The cult flock somehow even justifies bait and switches like these. I think it’s called 5D intergalactic chess mastery.
