Maddow: Trump admits what the attack on Iran is really for
About this episode
Rachel Maddow discusses Donald Trump's admission regarding the motivations behind the attack on Iran and its global implications.
In a rambling press conference full of bizarre answers to questions about the war he started against Iran, Donald Trump admitted that he is doing it "for the other parts of the world." Rachel Maddow looks at how Russia is benefitting tremendously from Trump's attack on Iran, even as it helps Iran target American interests, and how Trump has set off a global energy crisis of historic proportions.
