At uniting lefties against him
He’s doing a pretty good job of turning many of his followers against him. Remember…one big issue he ran on was ‘no new wars’. And we are sending boots to the ground in Iraq. Vietnam started with a handful of advisors. Then we put a frew boots on teh ground. Then a few more boots on the ground. And even MORE boots on the ground.
In 2001 and we went to war in Afghanistan. In 2003 we were convinced that Iraq played a role in 9/11 and based on the 1991 war, figured we would take out Saddam and that would take “5 days, 5 weeks, 5 months - certainly not longer than that”…and we were there for 20 years. And a LOT of the folks who bought the “no new wars” line are only looking back at history and aren’t happy about Iran. AND…if anyone disagrees with this administration, they are labeled RINO’s.
Next up to become RINO’s are the ones who voted for him to bring down grocery prices and we are watching gas and diesel prices going up to 2022 levels. that’s going to drive more “Bidenflation” (the base will still accept him blaming Biden for not taking out Iran as the reason for today’s increasing prices). When they start complaining, there will be even more RINO’s. Trump is destroying the movement that he created.
Yes a great prelude to Tulsi who’s also been against wars as DNI
Yes under Eisenhower I presume. Kennedy continued with some troops and LBJ really escalated actions.
That could be a good thing if MAGA didn’t have traction within the party
Two things I disagree with Trump are tariffs and potentially a war in Iran. I don’t see how we could help the Kurds have a homeland or get a system in place favorable to the USA and who’s kind to the Iranian citizenry aka establishes a right to bear arms under the threat of death from a US bomb
Though we got ambushed, I wonder were Iraqi citizens armed? Or was there no such armed populace either?
