Trump reportedly asked about launching attack on Iranian nuclear site

[True Dough]

Can you imagine leaving Joe Biden a raging (and neglected) pandemic to deal with and then adding the fallout from a strike on Iran's nuclear ambitions?

4. Are the advisors spilling the beans...

Or is this more dumb Trump disinfo? Trial balloon, distraction or real reason to worry?

6. PS

They shouldn't have told him it might lead to a wider conflict, bc he might like that.

7. I think this is a leak on purpose.

And yes, if Trump's anywhere near... worry. The bozo is a (barely) walking calamity.

8. Real reason to worry.

Pompeo is scheduled to visit Israel, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE next week.

10. I figured he was going to attack Iran before he left town.

I thought he'd nuke Tehran, given the fact that during his transition -- smoothly, of course -- from the Obama administration he asked three times, "If we have nuclear weapons, why can't we use them?"

13. The republicans in congress would support it 1,000,000%

14. He want's to leave a huge mess behind...

...so Biden has his hands full.

He's trying to burn it all down before he leaves.
