Flailing Trump, 79, Can’t Keep His Story Straight on the War He Just Started
IMPROVISING
The president spent the weekend contradicting himself on Iran.

President Donald Trump can’t seem to explain why he went to war with Iran or what his goals are for the military campaign.

The president has given four different explanations in two days about how long he plans to bomb Iran and what he envisions for the country’s future, leading to accusations that he’s making up the deadly military campaign as he goes along.

The administration has also given shifting explanations about why Trump started the war in the first place.

The repeated contradictions suggest the president does not have a long-term strategy in place for the joint U.S.-Israeli bombing campaign, which killed Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and triggered a wave of retaliatory attacks in the region that left three American soldiers dead.

1. Doesn't have a strategy? How about he's a FUCKING MORON???

[Justice matters.]

7. A criminal moron with enough power to blow us up in fumes...

on a "button"

2. The reason?

Oil and rare earth minerals. In other words, money.

10. In this case, probably even simper than that

I don't think Trump gets his hands on much of the Iranian oil because there are so many other people in the region who feel they are so much more entitled to steal it than Trump is.

This whole thing is Netanyahu's baby. There is zero benefit to the American people for leading this invasion, and we will suffer consequences for 25 years after Trump is dead. But he doesn't care about that. This is Trump's payment to Netanyahu to turn over the best Gaza property to Jared and the Trump boys. It is really nothing more than that. And that is the only thing that "Board of Peace" cares about. They are exterminating the Palestinians and dividing up the land. And Iran was one of the big barriers to that. Trump puts himself in the front of the line to grab the best Gaza properties.

Plain and simple. There really isn't any more to it than that. At least not in Trump's mind. Obviously there are many consequences to everyone else, but that is not driving Trump.

3. The #1 reason

To show the United States and the world that he is a dictator. The act of going to war in itself is the reason.

Krasnov can go to war with anyone at any time he chooses. He doesn't give a shit how the war turns out, doesn't give a shit how many people die, including Americans, doesn't give a shit what the polls say.

4. The little child rapist

This is his strategy to bury the epstein baby rape story .

Those rape victims voices in his head are getting louder and louder maybe a war will replace those victims voices with those murdered in Iran, maybe

5. this is part of the psychopathic mentality. you can't pin them down on anything

they can always say later that they didn't say that and show a clip of him saying what he wants.

this is part and parcel of who the orange pedo is.

in his mind, he gave "an answer", and that answer is: I don't give a fuck.

6. The only long-term strategy Trump has ever had is how to screw people and get wealthier.

8. He's way too out of it, too senile. Remove the POS. That's why they have this steps to remove an

mentally out of it person, too senile, too everything. In other words, never is on the same page as the rest of us.

[LaMouffette]

9. Why can't we just ONCE inject him with truth serum or get him drunk and hold a press conference with REAL journalists?

11. He has a strategy: Keep this going until at least after the midterms, and hopefully until the end of his term.

He will engineer it to stay in office until he dies.
