how much you want to bet his extremely stove-piped team of advisors/social media personalities said the whole thing would be over before the markets opened on monday.
the idea that the strait of hormuz might be closed indefinitely with no diplomatic bridges left unburned to get it reopen again quickly, and that energy prices would shoot up 10% before noon eastern time wasn't even listed as a possible concern.
trump gave an interview over the weekend where he said the war would be over in four weeks and repeated himself like six times, so that's likely the only marble rolling around in his skull at the moment. however, given the slow(ish) rearmament of interceptor missiles and the supposedly higher-than-expected iranian stockpiles, who knows? he may fall back to his roy cohn training and claim victory in defeat after a week or launch a nuke at four weeks plus a day.

Like when Noem and Lewandowski threw a tantrum in South Dakota, and fired their pilot, and THEN realized that it hadn't occurred to them that they had no idea who would fly them home. So they had to chase down the pilot in the airport, and rehire him to fly them home.
They bomb the shit out of Iran, high five each other while yelling "WICKED COOL!!", and are then surprised when they start shooting back. "That wasn't supposed to happen. Dick Cheney said we'd be welcomed as Liberators, like the did in Iraq and Afghanistan {Narrator: No, They Didn't}.
I imagine they assumed this would be just like last time when the US attacked Iran's nuclear infrastructure and Iran didn't really retaliate.
And for all their boisterously belligerent rhetoric, they don’t have the appetite or mettle for an actual land invasion that is increasingly becoming inevitable. They’re flat out not mentally prepared for cashing out on those verbal cheques
