Except that not what he said.
My question is what would you do if you were president? Don't say you wouldn't have exited the deal that would have expired anyway. And don't say diplomacy. Of course that would be ideal but Tump tried that before the attacks.
Would you go back to "Don't"?
First, it's just like a MAGAt to exclude the correct answer to try to justify their actions.
Teacher: "2+2 equals what?"
MAGAt student: "Duck sauce"
Non-MAGAt student: "You're an idiot."
MAGAt student: "Oh, then what would you have said? And don't say 4!"
That it would have expired doesn't matter in the least ... you negotiate and extend it. You make the safeguards and checks even stricter.
Second, regardless of what was the "correct" or "justifiable" action, the fact remains, Trump promised "no new wars." That was one of the pillars of MAGAtdom ... Trump was the bringer of peace. The negotiator. America first. All that bullsh!!t. When Trump handed Syria over to Russia, all the MAGAts justified it as fulfilling his promise to get out of international conflicts and focus on American governance. We shouldn't be involved over there ... that's their problem now. Blah, blah, blah. MAGAts celebrated that no wars had happened while their Fuhrer was in office, while chastising Dems for allowing wars during their administrations.
But as soon as Trump captures the Venezuelan leader, and shortly after, bombs the crap out of Iran, war is good. It's justified. It doesn't matter how bad it looks - that it looks like we didn't actually have a plan to wrap this up, that we failed to account for obvious issues like a potential kerfuffle re the Strait of Hormuz, that we went at it alone, and then tried our best to make enemies of our allies ... and so on ... war is good. Just look at those bombs bombing! Just look at those heroes saving our pilots! This is what America is all about! Celebrate good times, come on! Many MAGAts can't wait until we forcefully take over Cuba and wrestle Greenland from the hands of Denmark, by any means necessary.
We've been through this all before, however ... and it doesn't matter. A MAGAt cultist will justify anything their Fuhrer does. Today you will say this war was necessary and there was no other option. Tomorrow, if Trump got up there and said "War is never necessary and there are other options," you guys would say "War is never necessary and there are other options." And if the day after tomorrow Trump says war is necessary, you'll say war is necessary.
Trump is your new lord and savior.
