"You're talking about 47 years of getting away with whatever they wanted... This should've been done long ago. This should've been done by other presidents or other countries."

Instead of thinking, I wonder why other presidents have abstained from getting involved, his first thought is: For 47 years, other presidents did nothing about Iran! I'm smarter than all of them! I have more courage than them! I'm going to do something about Iran.

There will be many more "miscalculations," and a lot of people will die as a result.
