CNN’s chyron was already doing the heavy lifting for the narrative — treating Trump’s victory talk like some embarrassing rerun of 2003 — when Scott Jennings decided to ignore the script and talk about results instead.
Let's not pretend Jennings ever gives one single damn about a script ...
While the rest of the NewsNight panel treated “ongoing war” as settled fact, Jennings pointed to the scoreboard that actually matters: Iran’s defense industrial base has been smashed, its oil exports have been shut off since the naval blockade resumed, and the U.S. Navy has already shepherded 750 million barrels of oil out of the Gulf.
That’s not a quagmire. That’s a decisive strategic win, and Jennings is right that the president should stop letting the media define the terms and just tell the American people what they’ve already achieved.
By any meaningful metric, we have won this war. Now it's time for the president to formally announce it to the American people. pic.twitter.com/EWi6JTiKDH

... aligned against Iran thanks to the president?”
“They have no navy. They have no military. They have no allies. They have no economy and they export no oil. Do you not know these things?”
“[Iran] cannot export a barrel of oil today, and you think they're emboldened? That is crazy talk.”
Abby Phillip: “There's no question that Iran is weaker today in terms of their economy…”
Scott Jennings: “It’s more than weaker. They’re in a free fall. They’re in a spiral.”
It's painfully obvious to see the Left rooting against America because they hate Trump so much they don't want a win here. That's how warped and broken they are as a group. No wonder communism is seeping into their ranks so easily.
