Donald Trump has turned to legendary Republican pistoleros like John Wayne and Clint Eastwood for leadership inspiration amid his war in the Middle East.
The 79-year-old president appeared to channel his inner desperado while speaking with Fox News on Monday about his ongoing war against Iran. “It’s like a gun slinger, where he draws his gun first,” Trump said. “If we waited three days, I believe we would have been attacked.”
He also praised the timing of his assault for having taken the Iranian regime by surprise. “Breakfast attacks are unusual, and they were misled because they thought we weren’t going at that time and all that,” he said.
