Trump Mocked For 'Two Weeks' Iran Deadline With Supercut Of All His 'Two Weeks' Promises

After President Trump claimed he'd announce his decision on whether to attack Iran in 'two weeks,' video of his past similar references spread online.

President Donald Trump has a history of promising to resolve problems within "two weeks," and a new viral supercut mocks him for all the times he's said as much—including right now with tensions in the Middle East higher than ever.

Trump said Thursday he will decide within two weeks whether to involve U.S. forces directly in the escalating conflict between Israel and Iran, citing what he called a “substantial chance” for renewed nuclear negotiations with Tehran.


White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt quoted the following from Trump to reporters during the daily White House press briefing:

"Based on the fact that there's a substantial chance of negotiations that may or may not take place with Iran in the future, I will make my decision whether or not to go within the next two weeks."

She added:

"That's a quote directly from the president, so we'll kick it off for questions."

You can hear what she said in the video below.

CNN last month highlighted Trump’s repeated use of a two-week timeline—an oft-cited deadline he has rarely met.

In a supercut aired by host Kasie Hunt, multiple clips show the president promising action “in about two weeks,” only for those dates to come and go without follow-up.

In one clip from April 27, Trump tells reporters he’ll soon decide on a course of action regarding Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. When asked for a specific timeline, he replies, “Well, two weeks or less, or if it’s a little more at the time I’d say…” and shrugs.

In another video dated May 19, Trump again defers a response, saying he’ll provide answers “in about two weeks.” Hunt then points out that by May 28, the president once again dodged questions on the conflict by repeating the same vague timeline.

Nearly a month later, no follow-up action or comment has been issued, and there remains no sign of progress toward a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine.

Those clips have now gone viral again in the wake of Trump's latest "two weeks" promise.

Many have criticized Trump in response.


None of this should come as a surprise though—this is, after all, the same guy who said on a debate stage that he has "concepts of a plan."
