    I don’t like Trump or the war either but this is literally just propaganda. I trust Iran as much as I trust Trump. Not at all. Foreign authoritarians are not somehow more trustworthy than domestic ones. The phrase “the Epstein Network” is just an attempt to anchor this into domestic political controversies.

    Bluntly Trump doesn’t care about public opinion about this war enough to do this or the lead in to this war would have looked much more like Iraq

      But he does care about rigging elections and would love a reason to attempt to suspend elections.
