    Asked if US will strike Iran, Trump says, ‘I may do it, I may not do it’

    The US president has been speaking to reporters on the lawn of the White House.

    Asked if the US was moving closer to striking Iranian nuclear facilities, Trump replied: “I can’t say that … You don’t seriously think I’m going to answer that question.”

    “You don’t know that I’m going to even do it. You don’t know. I may do it, I may not do it. I mean, nobody knows what I’m going to do,” he said.

    “I can tell you this – Iran’s got a lot of trouble, and they want to negotiate. And I said, ‘Why didn’t you negotiate with me before – all this death and destruction.’ Why didn’t you negotiate? I said to the people, ‘Why didn’t you negotiate with me two weeks ago? You could have done fine. You would have had a country.'”

      fucking douche bag. He’s literally playing chicken with nuclear war. But me? I’m the masochistic fool who refreshed the page one last time before bed. Hope we are all here when I wake up.

          Go to sleep, comrade! Take some rest! I can take it from here with the updates while you rest.

          Fortunately, I think we are in opposing timezones so we can take shifts in the meantime.

            Thank you. Not sure I can sleep, or relax. I’ll try to take a break though

        Look, maybe I have a royal flush, maybe I don’t. I’m not gonna tell you what I have, but it’s beautiful, really beautiful, you should see it, but you can’t. I told you to fold. I said to you fold, you have 24 hours to fold or maybe I’ll raise you. I’ll go all in. You wouldn’t want me to do that, but I might go all in. Maybe I won’t, though… It’s hard to know if I’ll go all in. You should just fold, okay?
