As he posed for photos with military commanders and their families before a dinner at the White House, President Trump made a head-scratching remark that was equal parts confusing and ominous. "You guys know what this represents? Maybe it's the calm before the storm," he said. Reporters instantly starting shouting questions, primarily, "What storm?" Trump replied by repeating his earlier comment: "It could be, the calm, the calm before the storm." Again, reporters asked him what he meant, and if the storm had anything to do with Iran or ISIS, and again, Trump did not answer.
