BREAK IT DOWN!

Short post alert!

Yesterday, Donald Trump declared, again, the war against Iran has been won. He said, among other things:

“We’ve won this. This war has been won.”

“They’re totally defeated.”

“The only one that likes to keep it going is the fake news.”

Simultaneously, The Associated Press reported, also yesterday:

The United States military is preparing to deploy at least 1,000 troops from the 82nd Airborne Division to the Middle East in the coming days.

I haven’t heard of anyone who wants to keep the war going, except perhaps Iran, which, Mr. Trump’s assertions, notwithstanding, has shown little if any interest in conceding. Now, I am not saying the President of the United States is being untruthful, despite media reports that he made over 30K false or misleading statements during his first administration. Rather, I am suggesting you should consider the source, and draw your own conclusions. Just remember, this is the same dude who claimed back in July that he had totally obliterated Iran’s nuclear capabilities, only to say a few weeks ago, “he had a feeling” Iran was with a couple of weeks of launching a preemptive strike. “This War Has Been Won: Really?”

P.S. There was a Special Election in Florida yesterday. In an ironic twist, the District which includes Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home flipped from Red to Blue. In what some might consider an even bigger irony, the leader of the Voting-by-Mail is anathema brigade, Donald J. Trump (in case you’re wondering), voted…by mail. The same guy who directly called Mail-in-Voting, Mail-in-Cheating. Go figure.

I’m done; holla back!
