Trump's Iran War Fever: A Deadly Cure for His Political Collapse?

War is the deadliest distraction in the authoritarian’s playbook…

‘In the modern era, it was probably George W. Bush who first said it out loud and then acted on it: When you’re unpopular and losing politically, just start a little war that’s easily winnable and you’ll be back on top.

As he told his biographer, Mickey Herskowitz, in 1999 about his plans for an Iraq war as a strategy to get himself re-elected in 2004:

One of the keys to being seen as a great leader is to be seen as a commander-in-chief. My father had all this political capital built up when he drove the Iraqis out of (Kuwait) and he wasted it. If I have a chance to invade Iraq, if I had that much capital, I'm not going to waste it. I’m going to get everything passed I want to get passed and I'm going to have a successful presidency.

It worked for Bush, although history hasn’t been kind to him as a result. Trump’s second presidency, meanwhile, has been an unmitigated disaster, both in real terms and politically as his approval ratings have slipped so far underwater they’re in late-years Nixon territory:

— Inflation is up and the tariffs aren’t bringing jobs home

— Trump’s tax cuts for billionaires bill is in trouble

— The GOP war on our schools and libraries is creating a huge backlash

— Women are dying — and furious — because of Red state abortion bans

— Armed thugs are kidnapping people off the streets without warrants or due process

— Those same immigration raids are causing food to rot in our fields

— Trump’s destruction of USAID has already killed an estimated 300,000 poor children and handed Africa and parts of Asia to Putin and Xi

— Despite Musk’s claims, the Epstein files are still hidden

— Nobody except billionaires wants Trump to sell off our public lands

— The housing crisis is worsening

— Trump’s cuts to Social Security and Medicare are creating havoc for people trying to sign up

— Putin has made a fool of Trump as he continues his murderous campaign against Ukraine

— Musk now knows every penny you’ve ever earned and every drug you’ve ever taken

— Republicans are on a national purge of voter rolls in Blue cities in Red states

— Between 5 and 10 million people showed up to protest Trump’s fascist policies

So, why not follow Bush’s advice and launch a “little war”? It worked for Reagan with Grenada and Bush with Iraq: What could possibly go wrong?’


Yet another Republican president deflecting from his failed, unpopular administration, yet another illegal, unwarranted Republican war.
312-226 facediaper. Nothing failed or unpopular about a president who protects Americans and doesn't cowtow to our enemies. Sorry if he is messing with your hatred of America.
Plus everything you post is the opposite of the truth.

The walls are closing in!


LOL do you absolute retards ever get tired of falling for this shit?
 
Iran has promised to retaliate through sleeper cells in the USA, and other forms of terrorism.

Fear Not!!! With Kash Patel and Dan Bongino having fired all of the DEI hires and "disloyal agents", and EyeBow Boi running the Anti-Terrorism division of Homeland Security, Peter Hegseth as Secretary of Defense, and a Lt. Colonel as the Joint Chief of Staff, the safety and security of the USA is in their hands.

God help you.

I thought illegal alien sleeper cells was a myth?

Looks like you agree with the fact that Biden let many foreign terrorists into our country.
 
You really have to feel sorry for the mentally ill democrat cult members. Trump dropped a few bombs and they go nuts. These people were at war with us since 1991. They have killed and taken Americans. Now they say they have sleeper cells in America. What the hell is wrong with these people that they yell about a few bombs by were cheering when Obama dropped over 26,000 and they were all cheering?
They seem to have no grasp on reality
Seems the best they can do is whine that he didn't tell them about the bombing ahead of time.

Remember when:

In an effort to distract the public about the Lewinsky affair scandal and impeachment proceedings Bill Clinton bombed Iraq as a ploy. Critics rightly suggested that the timing of the military action was intended to distract from the impeachment hearings.
The "wag the dog" theory suggests that President Bill Clinton ordered bombings in Iraq.
