Jake Tapper called President Donald Trump to operate under the same skepticism he had on the campaign path on foreign intervention by the American army, saying that his administration lacked sincerity in the midst of tensions in climbing between Israel and Iran.
Earlier in the day, when asked if the president hit Iran or not, he replied quietly: “I can do it. I may not do it. No one knows what I’m going to do. ”
Trump openly opposed American military intervention in the past, in particular the role of America in the war in Iraq, but he also campaigned that Iran should never receive a nuclear weapon.
“There was an unfortunate lack of seriousness about this unworthy of the decision to be made,” said CNN host about the chaotic management of the Trump administration in the Middle East.
“Whether it is President Trump’s social social post by telling the 10 million people of Tehran to flee their city or the vice-president JD Vance putting in Saupons de Twitter on which has disclosed what, it is a moment for gravity and goal,” added to Tapper.

The anchor “The Rid” also noted that the president was not on the same length of waiting as his director of national intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, openly rejecting the evaluation of his department. Gabbard said in March that the intelligence community came to the conclusion that Iran did not build a nuclear weapon. Trump has always opposed this statement to this statement, telling journalists on Wednesday that “I don’t care what she said, I think they were very close to having one.”
Tapper concluded, almost pleading in Trump, to take care of the way he approaches the actions to come in matters of foreign policy, more similar to the way he did as a candidate for his beginnings as a politician.
“We, here, at” the head “, we do not pretend to have the answers on what President Trump should do. We have not been elected to do so,” said Tap. “We just hope that the same skepticism that President Trump brought to these questions of war and peace as a candidate, the same desire to challenge conventional thought to DC, we hope to bring it now.
