Scott Jennings exposes never-Trumper Geoff Duncan after he accused President Trump of using “propaganda” to manipulate the markets during the Iran conflict.
The moment Jennings asked him for evidence, Duncan suddenly got very quiet.
DUNCAN: “Donald Trump is using propaganda and he’s propping up the markets. He’s not talking to diplomats. He’s not talking to generals on an hourly basis.”
“He’s talking to financial experts that are telling him when markets are closing, when markets are opening, and when PR needs to be pushed out to change the narrative.”
JENNINGS: “You seem to know exactly who Donald Trump is talking to. How do you know that?”
DUNCAN: “Well, just as an American watching it play out, it certainly feels as though there’s no sort of organized fashion on what’s going on.”
JENNINGS: “You said he’s not talking to generals, that he’s only talking to economic planners. I’m just asking how you know? That seems to be a wild assertion. I just wonder what evidence of that there is?”
DUNCAN: “As a taxpaying American, I sit there and I watch this stuff play out within minutes after the markets closed, I watch before markets open.”
JENNINGS: “So no evidence...”
“So here’s what I think. I think we achieved a great military victory. The Iranian military is devastated. I disagree with Max. I don’t think they’re currently on the brink of building a nuclear weapon because they can’t be because of the military victory that we have achieved.”
