This is the result of the crappy parade

[Henry203]

He was humiliated by the parade so he had to stick his wiener out and bomb someone.

[FarPoint]

1. Excellent point ..

I think you are spot on...

[SuzyandPuffpuff]

2. D'uh

So fucking predictable... 🥱

[MustLoveBeagles]

3. You're on to something

[Qanisqineq]

4. That was my thought the day after

Or a couple days after the parade and Iran started being mentioned. I told my active duty husband, "He thinks the army looked weak, now he's going to try to prove they are strong by starting a war."

5. The shitty parade, tariffs are a joke, his poll numbers are down, TACO Trump needs to be seen as a "war president."

I just hope he doesn't start wearing one of those Bush codpiece flight suits.

[Wiz Imp]

23. This will NOT help his poll numbers

A wide-ranging Economist/YouGov poll conducted over the weekend revealed that 53% of voters who backed Trump in the 2024 presidential election do not want the country to join in Israel’s strikes.

Their views mirror those of Trump’s voters surveyed in the Economist poll, which revealed that only 19% of them favored the US getting involved militarily, and 63% wanted the administration to “engage in negotiations with Iran over its nuclear program”.

6. And being laughed at in Canada and for his 2 week notice

[tazcat]

7. 6x fkg draft dodger doesn't even have a teenie weinie

More like so so wee mushroom per Stormy. Why you think the massive jealousy over Obama? That man is packing and all these pathetic white boys can't stand their own inadequacies. I think THAT is what the racism is all about. But what do I know? Just an older italian gal here.

[calimary]

10. Welcome to DU, tazcat!

Just another older gal here. Irish and German, so I'm told. Glad you're here!

[tazcat]

28. Thx calimary!

Try to stay quiet so as not to offend anybody. doesn't always work. lol!

[calimary]

29. You can pretty much "let it all hang out" here and know you're among friends.

Lots of nice, sympathetic, and empathetic folks here, and some of ‘em have post counts in six figures! Others who are new and/or haven’t posted a lot may only have posts numbering in the singles and/or tens. Matters not! Hardly a day goes by that I don’t learn at least a little something new!

Make yerself at home! You’re a Dem? Then you belong!

[Linda ladeewolf]

18. Ah, you said what I've been thinking.

I just couldn’t bring myself to say it. It’s just so obvious.

[Ilsa]

8. He's compensating.

No one would dare criticize him for this, or they'd be called unpatriotic or anti-semitic for not assisting Israel.

[calimary]

9. Bombs are NOT going to give you extra inches, donald.

Hasn't anybody ever pointed that out to you?

[Skittles]

21. guns don't either

but that doesn't stop the humpers, does it

[C Moon]

11. And TACO, and No Kings, and Elon's threats

A narcissist can only take so much.

[WarGamer]

12. No... it was because Netanyahu instigated him...

"Come on Donny, be the big man! Whip out the Bunker Busters".

[homegirl]

13. What will Congress do?

Doesn't Congress per the Constitution have to declare war? Time for these cowardly GOP politicians to crawl out from under his boot and put him where he belongs!

LEAVENWORTH FOR LIFE!!

[Skittles]

20. they're not gonna do a fucking thing

they work for the CULT, not WE THE PEOPLE

[IbogaProject]

25. War Powers Resolution

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_Powers_Resolution

That law is a blank check for these types of strikes.
There is a complex history involved w declaring war, as the war mongers have often run rough shod over Congress's perrogrative to declare war.

[AllaN01Bear]

14. si.. always have to punish iran.

[hay rick]

15. When this ego boost wears off it's on to the nukes!

[Linda ladeewolf]

16. Well, that was stupid.

He won’t be happy until he has a little war with someone. His ego demands death and destruction. He’s a psycho, that’s all.

[Starbeach]

17. Little man big bomb

nt

[Skittles]

19. he has to get his dictator fix somehow

yes indeed

[Warpy]

22. I don't thinkso

I think the military pushed for this one, they wanted to see how their 30,000 pound bomb deigned expressly for breaking into Iran's hardened storage bunkers way underground works out.

[FakeNoose]

24. Remember when Ronald Reagan invaded the tiny island of Grenada

... for no reason whatsoever?

And we all know the whopping lies Dubya & Cheney told so our troops would invade Iraq in 2003 ...

[IbogaProject]

26. Bush 1 did the same thing

That attack was based on mostly lies.

[misanthrope]

30. It wasn't for no reason

It was to counteract the bad news of losing 241 U.S. servicemen to truck bombs in Beirut on Oct. 23, 1983. Two days later, we invaded Grenada.

[Miles Archer]

27. HAT TRICK. OVERLOAD. 1). The Crappy Parade 2). His Crappy Poll Numbers 3). He Had A Crappy Time At G7

So, add 'em all up and he bombed Iran.

As someone wiser than me once said, "Trump is not playing 3-D chess. He's playing checkers, and he's eating all the pieces."
