After hearing several years of Kamala's "Word salads" you are now >>>critiquing Trump?? You must have exhausted your list of talking
points from which to complain.
Bradley only post what Iran pays hinm to do.
Trump was interviewed on the Maria Bartaromo show on Sunday and spoke
for 35 minutes. Unprompted as far as I could tell and the only
negative I came away with was he did repeat himself several times.
Could Biden do that?
Biden never cancelled an interview
or stormed out a press briefing in a
petulant huff. Can Trump say the same?

Get in, seize the objective, destroy the enemy's ability to make war,
and GET OUT.
Dubya committed us to twenty years in Afghanistan and an Iraq mess
that plagues us still.
Now, another Republican has us standing in the Indian Ocean, our
collective dicks in our hands, wistfully remembering the days when we
could sail freely in any waters we chose and gas was a bitchin' 3.15 a gallon.

He's insane.
| BARTIROMO: Did you see Europe is drafting a plan to open up
| the Hormuz Strait without the United States?
|
| TRUMP: It's so sad. Look at Greenland. We should have Greenland.
| Trump: "We have a very good relationship with Iran right now"

| That's why he'd get mad when he reads the New York Times.
| So, if you want to get negative information to him, you
| don't go into the White House because you don't want to
| deal with the temper. You leak it to the New York Times.
|
| Trump will forget things from day to day. He'll remember
| things that didn't happen. Some of it he actually convinces
| himself is true. People around him would have to explain,
| no, that's not true, but (now) they're too scared of his
| temper and his rage (to do so).
|
| Everybody around him is walking on eggshells in a constant
| basis. There are a bunch of people in the military that,
| were not going to go along or were talking about not going
| along with the order, if he did give that order, to mass
| exterminate the (Iranian) civilization.
|
| Also his empathy is gone. (Trump's experiencing) early
| onset dementia: you start to lose empathy, you start to
| lose memory, you start to lose temper control, your
| decision making ability disappears, your filter vanishes,
| all that's there.

| Donald Trump was barred from the Situation Room by military

|
| The US President was reportedly shut out of discussions

| Top administration officials believed his volatility could

| after being haunted by memories of the 1979 Iranian hostage
| crisis.
