Donald Trump tried to answer a reporter’s questions about his disastrous war with Iran before bailing for the exit midway through his response.

The president, 80, had just disembarked Air Force One at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland after attending Sunday’s World Cup final in New Jersey when a journalist in the press gaggle pointed out his “four or five-week” conflict in the Middle East has now dragged on for “nearly five months.”

Trump immediately shot back that the reporter had somehow undersold the scale of the task at hand. “This is a far bigger job that we’re doing,” he said. “We were doing a little job, stopping them from having a certain capability.

Now, we’re just ending it.”
