Leavitt: Draft-Dodging Rapist Felon Trump "wisely keeping his options on table" for an Iran War DRAFT

Fox News anchor Maria Bartiromo quizzed White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt Sunday about whether President Donald Trump’s plans to send ground troops to Iran.

“I want to get your take about this idea of troops on the ground,” Bartiromo said, during an interview on Sunday Morning Futures. “Mothers out there are worried that we’re going to have a draft, that they’re going to see their sons and daughters get involved in this. What do you want to say about the president’s plans for troops on the ground? As we know, it’s been largely an air campaign up until now.”

“It has been, and it will continue to be,” Leavitt said before adding, “and President Trump wisely does not remove options off of the table. I know a lot of politicians like to do that quickly, but the president as commander in chief wants to continue to assess the success of this military operation. It’s not part of the current plan right now, but the president, again, wisely keeps his options on table.”

I think that even in his blind ignorance and arrogance, Trump understands what re-instituting the draft BEFORE this November would do to Republicans.

It’s really concerning that they seem not to care that gas is skyrocketing and they’re talking about maybe using the draft with the midterms 8 months away. Vote these idiots out America!!!! End this madness
