DOOCY: On Prince Andrew, do you think American associates of Jeffrey Epstein will wind up in handcuffs too?
TRUMP: I'm the expert in a way because I've been totally exonerated. That's very nice. I can actually speak about it very nicely. I think it's a shame. I did nothing.

The American people voted for lower prices, not another war in the Middle East.
But Trump is itching to go to war with Iran.
The Constitution is clear: the president doesn't have the authority to start a war without Congress' approval.
