Trump pauses Project Freedom, calls Iran conflict a "skirmish"

Video Overview & Insights

President Trump touted U.S. actions against Iran on Wednesday. The comments came one day after he paused the Project Freedom initiative to guide ships through the Strait of Hormuz to allow peace negotiations to move forward. CBS News' Holly Williams reports, and Samuel Helfont, an associate professor of strategy and policy at the Naval War College, has more.

FUN FACT: It’s tricky sometimes telling where trumps criminal mundset ends and the dementia takes over

Only a fuel would believe the U.S. is losing. Blockade is working well, a deal or more violent attacks. Ball in your court, eh Ayatollah?

Anything the United States loses is called the skirmish. And once again we lost this war. Unless the US government makes a deal for narcotics to traffic them back to the US citizens in which case then they also call it a skirmish and it also happens to be the country they made a deal for narcotics transfers before

Trump has referred to multiple things as a “war”, especially the war against drug cartels and the “invasion of illegals”; however, now that we actually have a war at hand, he doesn’t want to call it a war. I wonder why.

* “War on drugs” — Trump repeatedly called for intensifying the long-running U.S. anti-drug campaign, especially against opioids and fentanyl.
* “War on COVID” / “Invisible enemy” — During the COVID-19 pandemic, he framed the pandemic as a wartime struggle, often saying the U.S. was “at war with an invisible enemy.”
* “War on American energy” — Trump accused political opponents and environmental regulations of waging a “war” against oil, gas, and coal industries.
* “War on police” — He claimed that some activists, prosecutors, and Democratic officials were conducting a “war on police.”
* “War on Christmas” — Like many conservative politicians, Trump said secular culture and political correctness were attacking Christmas traditions.
* “War on religion” / “War on Christianity” — He argued that government actions and cultural trends threatened religious freedom and Christians in America.
* “War on the suburbs” — During the 2020 campaign, Trump claimed housing and zoning policies would destroy suburban communities.
* “War on women” — Although more commonly used against Republicans by Democrats, Trump sometimes turned the phrase back on opponents, arguing Democratic policies hurt women.
* “War on American workers” — He used this phrase in connection with trade deals, outsourcing, and immigration policy.
* “War on free speech” — Trump frequently described censorship by social media companies, universities, or government agencies as a war on free expression.
* “War on the Second Amendment” — He used this phrase to criticize gun-control proposals.
* “War on farmers” — Trump claimed environmental and trade policies harmed U.S. agriculture.
* “Economic war” against China — He described trade disputes and tariffs involving China in quasi-war terms.
* “War against the deep state” — Trump and allies often described bureaucratic resistance and investigations into his administration as a kind of internal political war.
* “War on American history” — He criticized efforts to remove monuments or reinterpret U.S. history through racial or social-justice lenses
