'Trump flipped out': Journalist claims president dropped a 'big reveal' to enemies

Donald Trump’s decision to attack Iran is causing him to finally understand that his actions have consequences beyond his control, and he is reacting poorly to that realization, a journalist said.

During an appearance on MS NOW’s “Morning Joe,“ Financial Times editor and longtime columnist Ed Luce claimed the massive jump in oil prices after the Gulf of Hormuz was shut down caused the president to lose it–– which was good news for Iran’s leadership.

Speaking with the hosts, he explained, “I mean, we saw it over the last couple of days when oil prices went up way above $100 [per barrel] to almost $120. Trump flipped out and then started reassuring the markets that he's going to pull out soon; the war's almost over and the oil price came back down.”

“That was a big reveal, an unsurprising reveal,” he elaborated. “But that was the big reveal to the Iranians that they know his price point.”

He continued, “They had confirmation of their suspicion that Trump thought this was going to be a quick one-and-done 12-day kind of war, and that now that it isn't, he's beginning to feel the pain. And I think we can bet pretty safely that Iran has a higher pain threshold than Donald Trump. So they now have the absolute key without needing naval capability or ballistic capability, let alone enriched uranium.”
