Hugh Hewitt: Trump’s Legacy and Iran

Reliable reports from a variety of sources confirm President Trump had ordered a major escalation of combat with Iran for this past weekend only to call it off Saturday night. 

President Trump knows the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps lies and that they cheat. 

There’s no reason to believe that they’ll not lie and cheat again. It is who they have always been. Since the revolution in 1979, the Iranian regime’s negotiators have fooled both Presidents Carter and Obama in comprehensive fashion, other presidents to some degree, but they have never fooled Donald Trump.

Until this past weekend at least.

Can we still pull of a win against the terrorist regime in Tehran?

Yes. 

But only the president can do that. Not our allies. Not his advisors. Certainly not the legacy media.

Trump has been surprising and indeed startling his critics for his nearly dozen years in politics. I’m hoping he has at least one more huge surprise in store.
