Trump's decision to declare war in Iran might well be the biggest unforced political mistake in a generation.
Not only was it a 180-degree betrayal from a core campaign promise that got Trump elected; not only has it caused gas prices to surge at the worst possible moment politically for his party; not only is there no clear path to ending the war even through significant geopolitical concessions; not only has it critically depleted U.S. military power that was needed to hold the line against Russia in Ukraine and Europe; not only has it utterly failed to reduce Iran's nuclear capabilities; but Iran's regime was cracking under internal pressure in the weeks BEFORE Trump launched the war.
He probably rallied the Iranian people around a regime that earlier this year, there was serious speculation might get overthrown and replaced with one friendlier to the West.
You just can't screw up harder than Trump did here.
ICE brutally detain 2 U.S. citizen teens—driving to hand in papers to join Marines.

"I don't give a damn... your parents can't help you now."

I hate that you have to be literally perfect if you are on the left and yet Trump plays around with whatever he wants every day and it’s just another day
The Shame of Donald Trump
Donald Trump skipped the 9/11 memorial because it would not let him be the main character.
Twenty-five years after the attacks, Joe Biden, Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush stood at Ground Zero and honored the 2,977 people murdered that day. The sitting president of the United States could not be bothered.
The New York ceremony does not allow political speeches. It is for the dead. That was a deal-breaker. So Trump went to the Pentagon, where he could grab a microphone and turn remembrance into a performance.
Four former presidents showed up for the victims. Trump showed up for Trump.
Just 1 year ago people were trying to get people fired for not having sympathy for this
Now his entire legacy is kirkified memes, the internet is so amazing man
