President Donald Trump earned swift mockery on Thursday when his press secretary said he'll make a decision on how to proceed in the Iran-Israel conflict in "two weeks" — a timeline he's frequently used.
"I have a message directly from the president: 'Based on the fact that there is a chance for substantial negotiations that may or may not take place with Iran in the near future, I will make my decision on whether or not to go within the next two weeks,'" Leavitt said during the briefing.
The idea of having something in "two weeks" was a running joke from the film "The Money Pit," in which contractors and builders assured a couple that things would be finished in "two weeks." A builder, Trump appears to have adopted the timeline.
