When pressed on President Trump’s conflicting comments about the reasoning and the timing for attacking Iran, and whether he’s “making this up,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told CBS News’ Nancy Cordes, “The president is not making anything up.” “This was a feeling the president had based on... facts, facts provided to him by his top negotiators who had been engaged with the Iranian regime in a good faith effort,” Leavitt said.show more

@nancycordes Trump’s “top negotiators” are Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff who are two real estate developers with zero diplomatic experience.

@nancycordes

@nancycordes Wonder what kind of story you would write about Pearl Harbor day. I can just hear you siding with the Japanese.

@nancycordes Everyone knows Trump makes crap up all the time.

@nancycordes Trump makes things up every single day. 😂🤦🏻‍♂️

@nancycordes War explained by feeling reveals the poverty of strategy. 감정으로 설명되는 전쟁은 전략의 빈곤을 드러낸다.

@nancycordes She’s lying

@nancycordes A leader's 'feeling' becoming a casus belli sets a precedent where intelligence assessments are secondary to intuition.

@nancycordes Good faith efforts? The U.S. and Israel literally bombed them while they were supposedly negotiating. It’s actually insane how easily these people lie.

@nancycordes Confused was it based on feelings? Or facts? Or his son in law and his friend telling him stuff based on what? Jesus. USA wtf is wrong with you this is absurd.

@nancycordes I don't understand what is her role into all of this? Sending a message from here to there? Trump hired amazing liars or they wont have jobs!

@nancycordes It’s disturbing every time she and Trump say it was a “feeling” he/I had based on facts.

@nancycordes Stop wearing that crucifix…..you’re not worthy!

@nancycordes "Feeling." And repubs think women are emotional.

@nancycordes Bullshit. Dementia man goes on “vibes.” And I thought we had “obliterated” nukes potential last June.

@nancycordes More gaslighting by @PressSec

@nancycordes Days away from having nuclear. Days away from having long range weapons. Days away from taking over the middle east. Days away from bombing Israel. Days away from striking the U.S. what was the reason today it changes every other day.

@nancycordes Apparently never heard the statement "feelings are not facts"

@nancycordes Whether it’s made up, we have a war that’s reality going on now. Now it’s up to the president to make sure that we don’t just say , I’ll cry uncle and quit and back out . He better get it done fast and completely. I personally think that his ego got in the way and now he can’t

@nancycordes Somehow, Trump is going to profit from all of this. At the expense of many lives.

@nancycordes

@nancycordes She is good in spinning, not able to answer direct questions

@nancycordes Nancy the “imminent” threat did occur……..47 years ago. You were 4 years old then; I’m sure you don’t remember. We do.

@nancycordes "His facts based on his opinions" What?

@nancycordes “Facts provided by his negotiators” Folks, not his intelligence agencies but negotiators. Smdh!

@nancycordes What facts??? That’s the question

@nancycordes Corrupt DEMOCRAT CBS trying push another lie

@nancycordes Oh my God, she really thinks that people are so stupid??? she’s repeating all that bull like boring answering machine…If Iran didn’t attack US for 40 years that would never happen… the only reason US attacked Iran is because the big boss bibi…US are the slaves of Israel!

@nancycordes Wow you're still a God damn moron. Still trying to throw out the gotcha questions. Do you know how pathetic you look old lady. People look at you White House correspondents morons and just shake their heads because you're a bunch of God damn heathens My God you are a pathetic.

@nancycordes What training do you get to lie and filer buster with a straight face?

@nancycordes Yeah, facts and intelligence provided by some real estate agents

@nancycordes These objectives make sense when disarming an Islamic terrorist regime.

@nancycordes It's Trump's Hitlerian Bizarro World--2026 Where deranged thugs, crazies, criminals: --Trump, Netanyahu, Putin dictate "affairs of state" --only on their own deranged, demented terms. BEWARE!

@nancycordes They still havent fully answered what the end game is. Where does this war put us in 10, 20+ years? Thats the BIGGEST question i’d like a serious answer to.

@nancycordes He was told to do it by Jared
