To my surprise, this really angered Trump. He wasn’t yelling, but he was both frustrated and mad. He sat there, hunched over, shaking his head, with a grimace on his face, looking up at Milley and saying, “That was stupid” and “Why would you do that,” adding that “it makes us look like we can’t hit the target.” This, of course, wasn’t the case, and we were confident the Iranians knew that.
