The man who started a war can’t keep his story straight.

Trump told CBS News on Monday that the war with Iran is “very complete, pretty much.”

Then, just hours later, he told House Republicans that “we haven’t won enough” and vowed to “go forward more determined than ever.”

This whiplash came during a day of stunning contradictions about virtually every aspect of the conflict—even as oil prices spiked again amid fears of a prolonged disruption to global energy supplies.

His assessment of Iran’s military capabilities shifted wildly throughout the day. He also kept changing his ship count.

Then there’s the elementary school bombing.

Trump claimed that Iran bombed its own school in Minab, despite extensive evidence pointing to a US strike. He suggested Iran might have obtained a “generic” Tomahawk missile—a weapon Tehran isn’t known to possess.

Gas prices jumped from $2.90 to $3.48 a gallon in just one month thanks to Trump’s war with Iran, and voters—including Trump supporters—are pissed.

Here are some stories the algorithms may be keeping out of your feed.

Two members of Trump’s Cabinet are quietly buying bomb-proof bunkers.

Orders for luxury underground shelters have spiked “tenfold” since the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran. And the president himself just told Americans not to worry too much about Iranian retaliation because, well, “some people will die.”

Nothing says “we’ve got this under control” quite like Cabinet members texting their bunker salesman asking when their steel-reinforced survival pods will be ready.
