For a man obsessed with his legacy, Trump has played fast and loose with his choices. He hasn’t considered the long-range consequences of so many of his decisions for himself, or his party, or, most importantly, for the country.
Senator Jon Ossoff (D-GA), who is running for reelection, gets right to the heart of it. “There’s something uniquely despicable about lying a nation into war. Treating citizens as fools and the selfless patriots who serve as pawns… Five months later, we’re still bombing, Americans are still dying, Iran still has its uranium, the Strait of Hormuz is still closed. I challenge anyone to defend this: a war built on lies told by a White House that is utterly absent any figures of integrity to dissuade this president from his delusions.”
With this in mind, Americans may want to pay especially close attention in coming days to news of the war. Often it takes many sources to piece together the big picture. Major developments like the ones in this article often get pushed aside for the latest clickbait from Trump and his allies desperate to change the subject.
