If 45 claims that he knows more than the generals, why didn't he know people would be killed?

Folks, we need to be very afraid. This shit is getting real.

1. What do you expect from a reality TV star...this is all show...the real generals are on to him..

A retired Colonel this morning said exactly that...What do you expect from a reality TV star....this casualties didn't know story is bullshit...how do we even know the Generals just said no, hell no?? -

Nothing is clear except this orange anus is a clear and present danger to all Americans as well as the world!!!!

2. tRump thinks he's a star of a TV show. It's all fantasy to him. He has no F'en idea what he's doing.

Totally a fish out of water!

3. Trump wanted a Hollywood blockbuster war,

not a real war. He wanted the acclaim, the power and status, and he wanted all the attention . He wanted his photo on magazine covers and frontpage spreads in all the newspapers he loves to hate.

Trump wanted to star in a new reality show, Trump Goes to War. In a shooting war, people would blame him for the deaths and he'd be responsible for the bungled screwups his flipflopping and dithering caused.

What do our allies think of us now, and even worse, what plots are our enemies hatching to exploit America's sudden weakness and incompetence?

4. He was bullshitting then, he's bullshitting now.

Anyway, it was "light-hearted humor", as Hope Hicks would refer to Treason.

5. He wouldn't care if the entire nation of Iran was wiped off the map.

That's not what stopped him.

He was either playing a deadly game or a phone call from Putin put a stop to the attack.

[Lock him up.]

10. Given all we've seen, I say it's the phone call, no doubt. n/t

6. Pence: Sir, no president has ever had your sense of prudence and restraint. Let us all kneel....

Trump: I want to launch against Iran now.

Pence: Your fiery boldness inspires us all, sir.

Trump: Hold on, I've had second thoughts.

Pence: Sir, no president has ever had your sense of prudence and restraint. Let us all kneel in gratitude.

7. Putin hadn't told him yet.

That he also might kill some Russian "advisors" in Iran.

8. He was

completely bullshiting. What the real reason was, or if it even happened at all, we'll never know until after he's out of office.

9. Trump was bluffing and Iran called his bluff. Trump caved.
