TWO WEEKS: Our ears pricked up yesterday when White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt took to the podium to read a statement from Trump on Iran: “I will make my decision whether or not to go within the next two weeks.”

“Within two weeks,” as many longtime Trump-watchers leapt to note, has been Trump’s favorite unit of time for nearly a decade now. In fact, Andrew found an Axios piece yesterday that was written in his very first week as a journalist, back in June 2017. It noted that Trump had already used the “we’ll be announcing within two weeks” framework on taxes, on wiretapping, on the timetable for his infrastructure plan, on the Paris Climate Accords, on the war against ISIS. “Trump’s timeline?” read the headline. “Always ‘two weeks.’”

More recently, “two weeks” has been Trump’s go-to timetable even for supposedly quick-time decisions on military conflicts. Eight weeks ago, Trump told reporters he’d know whether he could trust Vladimir Putin in “about two weeks.” Three weeks ago, he announced that the White House would find out whether Putin was “tapping us along” within “a week and a half, two weeks.” As with many such pronouncements in the past, we’re all still waiting.
