Trump's mixed message: 'We've already won, but we haven't won enough'
TRUMP: 'WE'VE ALREADY WON … BUT WE HAVEN'T WON ENOUGH': When it comes to describing where we are on the 11th day of Operation Epic Fury, President Donald Trump is all over the map. Is it "very complete, pretty much" as he told CBS News in a phone interview yesterday afternoon? Or is it "only just the beginning," as War Secretary Pete Hegseth told CBS's 60 Minutes over the weekend? Is the war a "short-term excursion," that will be ending soon, as he told Republicans at an issues conference in Miami, or are we "going to go further," as he told reporters later at a news conference?
"We've already won in many ways, but we haven't won enough. We go forward more determined than ever to achieve ultimate victory that will end this long-running danger once and for all," Trump told Republicans at their annual retreat. "Forty-seven years. It should have been done a long time ago. The world would have been a different place had some president had the courage to go and do it."
