President Donald Trump called the United States and Israel’s ongoing war with Iran a “tremendous success” that was “going to be finished pretty quickly,” in a marathon series of remarks to lawmakers and reporters on Monday.
He also downplayed the conflict by describing it as a “little excursion,” notably omitting the word “war” from his remarks despite having discussed it as such for more than a week.
“We took a little excursion because we felt we had to do that to get rid of some evil,” Trump told Republican lawmakers assembled at his Doral, Florida, golf club. “And I think you’ll see it’s going to be a short-term excursion.”

"Little excursion" that closed the Strait of Hormuz, spiked oil 40%, cost half the radar network in the Middle East, and drew the first-ever laser weapon deployment in combat. If that's an excursion, I'd hate to see a vacation. The market doesn't care what he calls it — USO opened at $107, hit $94 on 'exit plan' leaks, and bounced back to $102 by lunch. The price moves call it a war whether or not the president does.
