.MaddowBlog: Why it’s so difficult to believe Pres. Trump’s line that ‘all is well.’

The day after the U.S. airstrike that killed Iranian Gen. Qassim Soleimani, the U.S. State Department held a special briefing with reporters, one of whom asked whether the Trump administration expected Iran to respond militarily. “No,” a senior State Department official replied, “I don’t.”

Washington and Tehran both confirmed that Iran was the source of the missiles. The extent of any causalities or damage was not immediately unclear. For his part, Donald Trump, who green-lit the Soleimani mission for reasons that are still unclear, published a tweet assuring the public, “All is well!” Referring to the damage assessment in the wake of the Iranian missile strike, the American president added, “So far, so good!”

An American enemy has fired ballistic missiles at facilities housing U.S. troops. Our ostensible allies in Iraq seem awfully eager to kick Americans out of their country. NATO has begun removing some troops from Iraq for their safety. The Trump administration finds itself isolated from several of our traditional allies, while it struggles to keep its story straight when trying to explain the president’s dangerous and nebulous new policy.
