Trump Repeatedly Accused Obama Of Plotting To Attack Iran To 'Save Face' And 'Get Re-Elected'

BY CHANTAL DA SILVA ON 7/23/18 AT 8:11 AM


Before becoming president of the United States, Donald Trump repeatedly accused then-President Barack Obama of plotting to attack Iran in a "desperate" attempt to "save face" and "get re-elected."

The accusations, made several times between 2011 and 2013, carry fresh meaning in light of the U.S. leader's explosive all-caps warning issued late Sunday evening to his Iranian counterpart, President Hassan Rouhani, to "NEVER, EVER THREATEN THE UNITED STATES AGAIN."

"To Iranian President Rouhani: NEVER, EVER THREATEN THE UNITED STATES AGAIN OR YOU WILL SUFFER CONSEQUENCES THE LIKES OF WHICH FEW THROUGHOUT HISTORY HAVE SUFFERED BEFORE," Trump said in the threatening tweet.

Only YOU would put our troops in harm's way to appease your own ego. Barack Obama has too much love of country and ethics and morals to do something that despicable.

Accuse innocent democrats of things they are actually doing or thinking about doing.

I remember the right wing hysteria over Obama supposedly setting up detention camps in abandoned Walmart's to lock up right wing GOP loons.

Of course that was info wars horseshit.

Then Mr GOP Trump gets elected and sets up actual detention centers in abandoned Walmart's for kidnapped Hispanic babies!

So get ready for nuclear war in Iran, it appears to be right around the corner...
