Talking to the media about a possible American strike on Iranian nuclear sites, Trump said, “I may do it, I may not do it. I mean nobody knows what I’m going to do.”
Finally, he’s not lying.
Nobody knows what he’ll do.
Including him.
John Bolton, his former national security adviser, said that in situations like this Trump is “frantic and agitated”
“He talks to a lot of people and he’s looking for somebody who will say the magic words,” Bolton told The New York Times. “He’ll hear something and he’ll decide, ‘That’s right, that’s what I believe.’ Which lasts until he has the next conversation.”
Twenty years ago, another Republican President who wanted to prove his toughness got us unto a war in Iraq that lasted nine years and cost 4,000 American lives.
Iran has 90 million people, twice the population of Iraq.
It’d be great now to have a President who is calm, thoughtful and strategic.
Think JFK in the Cuban missile crisis.
Instead, we have a captain at the helm who is “frantic and agitated,” ignorant and arrogant.
The ship of state is in dangerous waters and dangerous hands.
