Members of Trump’s own party have lined up to condemn the deal, which pledges to help fund Iran and scrap sanctions
Republicans have turned on Donald Trump over his plan to end the war with Iran, accusing him of making the “worst foreign policy blunder in decades”.
The U.S. released the 14-point interim agreement on Wednesday as Trump signed the documents in Versailles, France. The terms included stopping the conflict and reopening the vital shipping route, the Strait of Hormuz, but also financing Iran’s recovery with a $300bn fund and scrapping sanctions.
“Reagan is rolling over in his grave,” said Louisiana senator Bill Cassidy on Wednesday, referring to the former president Trump admires.
You voted for it.
People pointed out that Trump had tried to deny his own nephew health care. That he had ties to the New York Mafia. That he had boasted of perving on young women. That he had a history of catastrophic business failures. That he had a history of lying so bad his own lawyers had to double team him to get the facts…
You voted for it.
I mean, half the joke is that they didn’t vote for it. Trump has been outspokenly in opposition to wars abroad, in direct refutation to members of his own party (during the primary) and the opposition (during the general). American national politics is a sucking void of anti-war candidates, such that even a serial liar and shameless two-faced shit can fill it.
Incidentally, taking an anti-war tact is how Obama beat Hillary in 2008. And how he obliterated McCain several months later. And “Double Gitmo” Mitt Romney four years after that. It’s also how Clinton beat Bush Sr in '92 (people hating Operation Desert Storm). And it was a long-forgotten part of the Bush Jr campaign against Gore (criticizing US involvement in East Africa and the Baltic States). Hell, Kennedy and LBJ both campaigned as anti-war candidates. They beat Nixon by promising to de-escalate the Cold War (and avoid any future Korean Wars). And then Nixon ran the same playbook eight years later. Reagan beat Carter on similar grounds (peaceful extraction from Iran).
Candidates regularly run - and win - on anti-war positions, only to enter office and reverse course, generating a backlash as a result. Trump’s just the latest and most glaring example.
Not only that, but he was president already for four years and it was catastrophic
He bankrupted a casino. That should be everything you need to know
He got caught saying ‘grab them by the pussy.’ That wasn’t enough.
A conservative woman went on the TV show The View to defend him.
Another panelist kept repeating ‘pussy’ over and over.
Finally the conservative lady had to demand that the other panelist stop using that offensive word.
He leveraged the bankruptcy of casinos for personal gain. It’s not simple incompetence, it’s a willingness to destroy anything and anyone for his own gain.
Then impeach and remove him from office. You have the power to do this. Until you put rubber to road and actually do this then this is just lip service to try and help midterm turnout for republicans.
They’ve turned on Trump so many times now they could be generating electricity.
Invariably these articles about Republicans/magas turning on trump use headlines that make it sound like it’s some kind of sea change, and then you get into the article and it’s one or two people.
Turned on him?
Is he in shackles?
Then maybe they should have done something about it.
Ronnie Raygun’s “legacy” is far overblown (how quickly people want to brush aside Iran/Contra, which was worse than Watergate), most especially by the “liberal media” and the conservatives, but yeah, PEDOnald’s debacle here managed to look even stupider than Vietnam, Ronnie Raygun and W.
Hopefully this keeps him from doing stupid shit with Panama, Cuba, Greenland, Canada, Mexico, and ___ and even more stupid shit with Venezuela…
What if it’s not a blunder. What if Trump is purposefully trying to destroy the country?
If you look at every action he’s taken in that light, it all makes sense.
The purpose of a system is what it does.
So if you view the trump presidency as a system, then yes its purpose was to destroy the American political system and impoverish the working class.
Republicans have turned on Donald Trump over his plan to
endstart the war with Iran, accusing him of making the “worst foreign policy blunder in decades”.Fixed it for them.
No? Those warmongering psychos were perfectly fine with bombing schoolchildren, they’re just upset that he stopped bombing schoolchildren:
Trump’s former vice president Mike Pence also issued a rare criticism of his former boss, arguing the Memorandum of Understanding “does smack of the kind of appeasement that our administration rejected in the Obama-Iran nuclear deal”.
“I would urge the President to take a step back, continue the blockade and pursue a negotiated settlement that commits Iran to dismantling their nuclear program, dismantling this missile program, ends support for terrorist proxies and opens the strait.
“Failing that, we should let our Armed Forces finish the job on our terms,” he wrote on social media.
But did it distract from the epstein files?
worst foreign policy deal in the history of foreign policy deals maybe ever.
Worst foreign policy blunder so far.
Hey republicans: you know that idiot that everyone said was an idiot and that we all warned you was an idiot? Turns out he’s an idiot.
And a liar. And a diddler.
Mostly a diddler. Lock him up.
Decades? No, this is the worst blunder ever. This is worse than Vietnam and Iraq because it’s more stupid and incompetent.
What? How? Cutting and running makes this much less of a blunder than either of those cases.
GOOD HE SHOULD FUCKING BE ABANDONED AND DIE (politically) ALONE
Why not just say it? The USA lost a war with Iran.
Because he’s dumb as fucking dirt. Seriously! He is not a smart man in any way.
