Yesterday (March 6, 2026) at an event regarding college sports, Donald Trump snapped at Fox White House Reporter Peter Doocy for asking about Russian involvement on Iran’s side during the war that Mr. Trump and Israelis Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu started last week with no immediate threat to either the United States or Israel.
Watch the exchange in the below Forbes News Video.
Responding to Doocy’s question, Mr. Trump responded:
“That’s an easy problem compared to what we’re doing here.”
Really.
While that drew laughs from all the Trump-MAGA sycophants and historically illiterates in the room, that is rich coming from the person who said he would bring prices down on day one and have the Ukraine-Russia solved within 24 hours of his return to office.
He then went on to berate Doocy, saying:
“Can I be honest (a question many have wondered about for decades)? I have a lot of respect for you. You’ve always been very nice to me (always about how people treat him). What a stupid question that is to be asking at this time. We’re talking about something else.”
There is so much to unpack there.
Him asking whether he can be honest?
People have been wondering about his ability to be that for decades.
Doocy has always been nice to him?
It is always about how people treat him.
“What a stupid question to ask. “
Honestly, it is one of the few smart questions Doocy from Fox News has asked.
“At this time. We’re talking about something else?”
When American soldiers are dying in his war of choice, and the people are being hosed at the gas pump because of it, one would think it would be a better use of the Executive Branch’s time to discuss the real issues facing the country instead of college sports.
What bullshit.
More scary is Trump suggesting in an interview with Dana Bash that Cuba could be next on the hit list and that Secretary of State Marco Rubio, a child of Cuban immigrants, might be, depending on how one interprets Bash’s account or Trump’s own words, that country’s next leader or America’s lead negotiator in coming to a deal with that country.
Let us be clear.
No one should shed a tear for the leaders of Venezuela, Iran, or Cuba.
They have done virtually nothing over the years except bring misery to their people and terror, in many cases, to individuals in other nations.
The world is a better place with them deposed.
What should give people pause is whether the Trump Fascist Regime, in its dream of going back to a time when the United States government routinely replaced an anti Amercian dictator with a pro-American one that allowed American businesses to exploit that nation’s resources, has the competence and ability to plan for the long game in Venezuela, Iran, and Cuba.
Holding events on college sports rather than spending time on planning the post-Iran war world does not inspire confidence.
They are definitely not doing it to further Democracy.
Trump removed Maduro but left his Vice President to lead Venezuela and turn over oil reserves to the United States.
Trump told Bash in his interview with her that it is okay if a religious leader (dictator) leads Iran as long as that person treated the United States, Israel, and the other Middle East nations well.
American interventionism in Central and South America and the Middle East during the 20th Century did not work out well in the long term for the United States.
The situation in Iran is directly traceable to the C.I.A. orcheastated coup to return the Shah to his Persian Kingdom by deposing the democratically elected government.
There should be no doubt that Trump and his American Empire fanatics are repeating history’s mistakes, and the people should argue against this approach.
