Donald Trump has admitted he was “shocked” by Iran’s retaliatory strikes across the Middle East, in a tacit acknowledgement that the U.S. may have miscalculated parts of the war.

As the conflict enters its third week, the president also demanded NATO allies help him reopen the Strait of Hormuz, the world’s most important oil choke point, as a standoff with Iran sparks more pain at the pump for consumers.

You know when you surround yourself with "Yes" men, men who are too scared to say their shoes don't fit!

But it was Trump’s confession about Iran’s escalation against Gulf allies that particularly raised eyebrows when he gave his latest update on Monday.

“They weren’t supposed to go after all these other countries in the Middle East,” he told reporters at the White House.

“Those missiles were set to go after them. So they hit Qatar, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait. Nobody expected that. We were shocked!

“And they fought back. They could have yielded, but think of it, if we weren’t around. They had tremendous power.”

Scary hun? 

Okay I have a question for you...
