In the wake of the U.S. airstrikes on Iran, Democrats are pointing to Trump’s own promises that he wouldn’t ensnare the country in foreign conflicts.
Democrats are seizing on Donald Trump’s surprise attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities to make the case that the world is becoming more dangerous on his watch, not less, and that he is reneging on a promise to avoid foreign military interventions.
The argument strikes at Trump’s contention that his blend of negotiating skills and toughness is enough to keep the United States safe.
In the space of a few days, Trump has made the United States a combatant in another Middle East war that exposes soldiers to potential deadly reprisals, Democrats contend.
In a statement, Democratic National Committee Chairman Ken Martin pointed to Trump’s inaugural address, in which he said he would measure his success by “the wars we never get into.”
I swear all these articles ever do is make conversation devolve into “MY OLD MAN IS BETTER THAN YOUR OLD MAN!”. I mean look at the comments. It’s distracting. At the end of the day, a loophole was found and Orange Chicken Little is going to use it just like the past three presidents did. The Democrats should be pointing the fingers at themselves for not amending the War Powers Act to return all combat engagement decisions back to Congress when they had several chances. The money is too good so they won’t do that. Instead they will feed the public this crap and “take the high road”.
