Why Donald Trump Always Says ‘Two Weeks’: A Look at His Signature Timeframe
Donald Trump will decide “within the next two weeks” whether to strike Iran militarily, according to a White House announcement.
Over time, the phrase “two weeks” has become a staple in the speeches and policy-making of US President Donald Trump. Press secretary Karoline Leavitt said that Mr. Trump would decide “within the next two weeks” whether to conduct a military strike on Iran during a regular White House briefing this Thursday.
When Ms. Leavitt said, “I have a message directly from the president, and I quote,” “‘Based on the fact that there is a substantial chance of negotiations that may or may not take place with Iran in the near future, I will make my decision whether or not to go within the next two weeks.'”
The phrase “two weeks” has been used by Mr. Trump previously.
Eight weeks ago, when asked if he had faith in Russian President Vladimir Putin, Mr. Trump said, “I’ll let you know in about two weeks.”
During his reelection campaign, he was asked about the specifics of a new tax proposal and responded, “Two weeks.”
When will the long-promised infrastructure package be completed? “We’re going to have something in two weeks.”
Everything from the Middle East scenario to allegations of electoral fraud proof went through the same two-week period.
Israel has admitted attacks on Tehran, Isfahan, Karaj, and Natanz during the past week, characterising the campaign as a preventative step to weaken Iran’s nuclear capabilities and stop any advancement towards weaponization. Everyone in the region is on edge due to the ongoing situation in the Middle East, and everyone is waiting to see what Trump will do.
