TRUMP: ‘I THINK IT’S CLOSE TO OVER’: In an interview that aired on the Fox Business Network this morning, President Donald Trump predicted the war in Iran would end very soon.

“I think it’s close to over, yeah. I view it as very close to being over,” Trump told one of his favorite interviewers, Fox Business anchor Maria Bartiromo, in a segment that was recorded yesterday. “If I pulled up stakes right now, it would take them 20 years to rebuild that country. And we’re not finished,” Trump said. “We’ll see what happens. I think they want to make a deal very badly.”
