Massachusetts Rep. Seth Moulton mocked President Donald Trump's response to the debate over the effectiveness of the Iranian strikes with a "hilarious" one-liner during a CNN interview Wednesday.
Host Anderson Cooper pointed out that, while the mission "was executed, it seems, to perfection," the question about how much damage the strikes inflicted on the three nuclear sites remains.
Cooper added that "it seems to now be some sort of personal thing with the president, and he feels this is about attacking him when it's simply about what is accurate about what happened on the ground? Everybody needs to and wants to know," Cooper stated.
"That's right," Moulton affirmed. "I can't understand the mind of the president because I'm not a child psychologist," the Democratic representative continued in a clip circulating on TikTok, before hailing the "brilliantly executed mission."

"There have been news report about how remarkable it is that these pilots could fly all the way around the globe, link up with refuelers, link up with fighters, drop these bombs exactly where they were intended," Moulton stated. "But, it is important to be honest about the results because at the end of the day, we all agree that we do not want Iran to have a nuclear weapon."
Moulton's quip quickly went viral, with social media users commenting on "the joy in his eyes" as he delivered his remark. "He was CHEWING on that joke before he spit it out," another user commented.
Others simply laughed at his comedic timing, writing, "Omg stoppppp! That's hilarious!!"
Moulton added that the most important aspect of the operation is whether Iran will return to the negotiating table to permit intrusive inspections.
In a recorded video broadcast Thursday, Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei stated Trump "exaggerated" the strike's impact, adding that the U.S. "could not achieve anything significant," Al Jazeera reported.
