Thinking out loud …
Trump was on Fox News a little while ago saying the Iranians asked for 7 days and he gave them 10 days.
7 days is good Friday. Was potentially attacking a Muslim nation on Christian holiday a consideration?
So he put it off until Monday, April 6th at 8 PM ET. That is the day after Easter. Coincidence?
Also, the time is curious as that is literally the start of the NCAA national championship game.
His top donor David Ellison owns Paramount (CBS) and they paid huge to broadcast this game. Does he want a “distraction” lower his ratings? Will this lead Trump to delay again?
