Gary Bauer's End of Day Report

President Trump’s deadline for the Iranian regime to reopen the Strait of Hormuz is 8:00 p.m. tonight. This morning, the president issued another strong warning to Iran’s leaders, calling tonight’s deadline “one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World.” I want to add this caveat. Throughout his entire career, President Trump, as part of his efforts to “make a deal,” will take a tough stance, and then he drops it once he has won concessions. Or he will suggest he won’t do something, in order to confuse his opponent, only to do it later. The Left says this is evidence that Trump is “unbalanced” and doesn’t know what he’s doing. On the contrary, Trump knows exactly what he’s doing.
