Catherine Rampell: "The Pentagon today said the #IranWar is just getting started."

Their commander in chief, less than an hour later, said: "the war is very complete." Trump said that to Weijia Jiang of #CBSnews, to move the stock market. After CBS slanted the news in a pro-Trump way, Trump gave them an exclusive news story. Trump may have been lying.
