Just another Distraction, and Vanity project for Trump to spend our taxpayer dollars on....   Since DOGE, Trump has WASTED more American dollars on BULLSHIT than any other leader of America.

He is a President for Trump, NOT for the American people, and there will be no positive change until Americas citizens REALIZE that.

Trump fighting for FREEDOM in Iran is a colossal JOKE !    , since he is trying to take away every American freedom in service of himself.....  He wants the Iranian govt to belong "to the people",  but he wants the American govt to "belong to HIM"......

Another WAR ?   Is this what you voted for,  MAGA ???

Trump says on Iran:  "There WILL BE American casualties, but that's what happens in war",  and that is a risk he is willing to take.

WTF ????

Risk ?   Is he sending Don Jr, Eric and Baron to fight ?     If not, he is risking NOTHING.....

American boys mean nothing to him, as he once said, men that go to fight are "losers and suckers"

Once again, this war is all about him, and seems like a DRASTIC step to hide the fact that he is a Pedophile accused of raping a 13 y.o. girl !    

HOW can we stop all this Trump Madness ??????

I give Trump credit for this.   He has figured out how to unify the Left and the Right.

 

Quote

Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor-Greene, in a post on X, derided the strikes as “America Last,” and said that it “feels like the worst betrayal this time because it comes from the very man and the admin who we all believed was different and said no more.”

Quote

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), who as of late has found more friends on the left than the right, said that he would work with Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Ca.) to force a congressional vote on war with Iran, an unusual cross-party alignment that underscores the unease on both ends of the ideological spectrum.

Quote

“I am opposed to this War,” Massie said on X. “This is not ‘America First.’”

 

Massie got one thing wrong.  Americans will be the first to pay higher prices.

Trump is a threat to peace.  Trump is a threat to democracy.  Republicans need to be blown to shit in the midterms.  

Die, Republicans, die.  Even the very best Republican moderates need to die at the polls.   This is war as far as I am concerned.  They are supporting a piece of shit President who wants to be a King and is doing exactly the opposite of what he was elected BY THEM to do.

Trump’s tweets saying Obama will start war with Iran to distract from domestic failures come back to haunt him

President Donald Trump, who joined Israel in joint military strikes on Iran in the early morning hours of February 28, had some strong opinions against going to war with Tehran – before he was sitting in the Oval Office.

In 2012 and 2013, Trump repeatedly insinuated that then-President Barack Obama would start a war with Iran to shore up his re-election effort and to distract from his supposed faults as a leader.

Obama never did attack Iran. That cannot be said for Trump, who has now attacked the Middle Eastern republic three times during across his two terms in office.

 

 

On January 17, 2012, Trump wrote on social media that he believed Obama would "attack Iran in order to get re-elected."

Years before President Donald Trump was even in the White House, he predicted that his predecessor, former President Barack Obama, would attack the Iranian regime.

In fact, Trump predicted, foretold, and predicted some more on Twitter, now known as X.

The first time was on November 14, 2011, seven months after the notorious White House Correspondents’ Dinner during which Obama mercilessly ribbed Trump with jokes about the birther campaign and sparked the then-reality TV star’s drive for the White House.

 

 

“@BarackObama will attack Iran in the not too distant future because it will help him win the election,” Trump wrote.

For years, Donald Trump publicly claimed that a military attack on Iran would reflect an inability to negotiate, scrambled electioneering, or a limp attempt from a president to “show how tough” he is.

Then, early Saturday morning, he did it anyway.

In a video posted to Twitter, Trump—not even wearing a tie—announced the U.S. and Israel had begun “major combat operations” against Iran, with a large-scale preemptive strike in which he indicated Americans are likely to die. He claimed the strikes were carried out to prevent the Middle Eastern country from completing its nuclear program and said they would allow its people to overthrow the authoritarian regime that has been in place for decades.

But this isn’t something the Trump of years gone by would have stood for, at least not if he’s taken at his word.

 

 

“Our president will start a war with Iran because he has absolutely no ability to negotiate,” Trump said of President Obama in a shouty video clip in November 2011. “He’s weak and he’s ineffective. So the only way he figures that he’s going to get re-elected, and as sure as you’re sitting there, is to start a war with Iran.”

“@BarackObama will attack Iran in order to get re-elected,” he said in a post on X, then called Twitter, the following January.

By the fall, he viewed aggression toward Iran as a pathway to re-election: “Now that Obama’s poll numbers are in tailspin—watch for him to launch a strike in Libya or Iran. He is desperate.”

That October, he said, “Don’t let Obama play the Iran card in order to start a war in order to get elected—be careful Republicans!” he warned.

 

 

Trump’s assault on Iran comes just months before the midterms, where polling suggests Republicans could suffer heavy losses. Meanwhile, Trump’s own poll numbers continue to slide. The latest Emerson College Poll on Thursday showed disapproval rates have risen to 55 percent, a four percent leap from last month and a 14-point swing from when he took office last year.
