The Trump administration launched a war with Iran without any clear strategy for how it would end or how long it would last or who would take over.

For more on this, it's time for a closer look.

Participle clauses

After launching yet another illegal war in the Middle east that could destabilize the region and put American troops in harm's way, Trump has been spending his time doing what all presidents do during wars, taking calls from reporters.

I just got off the phone with the president.

He is very pleased with how things are going.

So I just got off the phone with President Trump.

You talked to President Trump over the weekend by phone.

Robert Costa spoke with President Trump by phone this evening.

Rachel spoke with President Trump late today.

Rachel, he told you that he was with the generals when you were on the phone with him.

So they were there just sitting around mid war while he chit chatted.

We're looking at some highly classified material.

I'll put you on speaker so you can say hello.

I mean, this is like when I call my mom and she picks up even though she's in the middle of her book club and she's like, I'm here with the ladies.

Also, why is he suddenly chatting with reporters on the phone?

Aren't these the same people he always says are destroying America and are the enemy of the people?

This is like if you had a brutal six hour breakup talk with your girlfriend on Friday night and then called her on Monday saying, hey, I just saw there's a new poke place.

But now that the Ayatollah is dead, the question is, what happens next?

President Trump told the New York Times he has, quote, three very good choices for who could lead Iran.

So what happened to those three candidates?

He said the attack was so successful it knocked out most of the candidates.

It's not going to be anybody that we were thinking of because they are all dead.

That sounds like they're announcing the results of the Coney island hot dog eating contest after a salmonella outbreak.

I love that he's describing it as so successful in one breath, while in the next he admits they blew up plans A, B, and

This does strike me as a job you don't want to just get thrust into.

It's a country of 90 million people, not a Hollywood mov hoping for a Dave situation where a Kevin Klein type steps in to fill the void.

Seth said they'll all remember Dave, and now he's the one.

Oh, I wouldn't want to be Seth Meyers right now.

He's gonna get an earful from his very smug writers who warned him this very thing would happen.

1993's Dave, starring Kevin Klein and Ben Kingsley.

Just make sure there's some Dave fans next week.

All right, so Trump's plan for who would take over seems to have gotten scrambled.

Surely he's put some thought into that, right?

He told Axios this war could end in two to three days with a deal.

Then he told the New York Times four to five weeks of fighting.

So it could either be three days or four to five weeks.

You said the technician would be here last Friday.

And I'd just love to know when you think someone's going to be here.

No, don't put me on speakers so I can say hi to the guys.

You're all just sitting around at headquarters.

There are a lot of pesky life and death details to work out here, but

Trump wants to assure you he has the attention span to figure this out.

Somebody said today, they said, oh, well, if the president wants to do it really quickly after that, he'll get bored.
