@RobSchneider He never declared war on anyone…

@BaronJTrump For what ?

[Joshua phillips @jphill_7]

@hodgetwins 9/11 was an act of terrorism on civilians…. 9/11 wasn’t an “act of war”

@hodgetwins Run on straight emotion? Have you not seen your post for the last 48 hours lmao . Now that’s a roller coaster of emotions.

Look, I'm seeing this from the inside, and am admittedly biased towards our president (and my friend), but there's a lot of crazy stuff on social media, so I wanted to address some things directly on the Iran issue:

First, POTUS has been amazingly consistent, over 10 years, that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. Over the last few months, he encouraged his foreign policy team to reach a deal with the Iranians to accomplish this goal. The president has made clear that Iran cannot have uranium enrichment. And he said repeatedly that this would happen one of two ways--the easy way or the "other" way.

Second, I've seen a lot of confusion over the issue of "civilian nuclear power" and "uranium enrichment." These are distinct issues. Iran could have civilian nuclear power without enrichment, but Iran rejected that. Meanwhile, they've enriched uranium far above the level necessary for any civilian purpose. They've been found in violation of their non-proliferation obligations by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), which is hardly a rightwing organization.

It's one thing to want civilian nuclear energy. It's another thing to demand sophisticated enrichment capacity. And it's still another to cling to enrichment while simultaneously violating basic non-proliferation obligations and enriching right to the point of weapons-grade uranium.

I have yet to see a single good argument for why Iran needed to enrich uranium well above the threshold for civilian use. I've yet to see a single good argument for why Iran was justified in violating its non-proliferation obligations. I've yet to see a single good pushback against the IAEA's findings.

Meanwhile, the president has shown remarkable restraint in keeping our military's focus on protecting our troops and protecting our citizens.

He may decide he needs to take further action to end Iranian enrichment. That decision ultimately belongs to the president. And of course, people are right to be worried about foreign entanglement after the last 25 years of idiotic foreign policy.

But I believe the president has earned some trust on this issue. And having seen this up close and personal, I can assure you that he is only interested in using the American military to accomplish the American people's goals. Whatever he does, that is his focus.

When things are moving very fast and people are losing their minds, it’s important to stay grounded. Turn off your phone, read scripture, spend time with friends, and remember internet fury is not real life. It’s going to be ok.

@hodgetwins @hodgetwins have gone off the rocker. Nothing has changed, it’s still America first. Death to America is fixing to get #FAFO if it doesn’t watch it.

@Chesschick01 Nothings changed… Trump didn’t seek this out, it sought him out.

@HanShawnity Hodgetwins just panicked a little, but agree with the rest

[Dan Crenshaw @DanCrenshawTX]

Few Presidents have had to confront the incredibly difficult set of decisions now before President Trump. 

Help Israel? Help how? Allow Iran to reconstitute its nuclear program if Israel can’t finish the job with its own arsenal?

The President is right- Iran, a country whose motto is “Death to America”cannot be allowed to have a nuclear weapon. Full stop. That is peace through strength. That is America First.

President Trump is doing EXACTLY what he should be doing: stating a clear red line (and a very reasonable one), and leaving all options on the table to deal with it.

No, none of this means we get dragged into a war. That is highly simplistic thinking. There are lots of options in between doing nothing and literally sending in the Marines. 

Let’s not forget, Trump’s first presidency was marked by maximum pressure on Iran–he ordered the strike on Soleimani, Iran’s chief exporter of terror–all while not leading us into a war with Iran.  

Let the President do his job and let’s back him up.

@charliekirk11 We honestly should owe it all to you with all the work you did across college campuses. Thank you for leaving it all on the field

This is exactly why Trump selected JD. He's running circles around Walz.

MUSK: “I’ve not been very political before… they try to paint me as a far right guy which is absurd because I like to make electric vehicles… I supported Obama. I stood in line for 6 hours to shake Obama’s hand… historically I was a moderate Democrat. But now I feel like we’re at a critical juncture for the country… For the people out there in the moderate camp, I think you should support Donald Trump for president.”
