I wonder how the Repubs I used to hear praise Trump for being "anti war" feel now that he's shown his whole ass

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

New evidence rarely changes sentiment in a cult.
Sad but true
"He kept us out of all the wars he didn't get us into!"
Hell even Ron Paul would've been a marked improvement because as crazy as that dude was, he stood on business with the anti war thing
Difficult to know how they feel deep inside, but on the surface: dig their heels down even deeper. Claim they were for this all along. Attribute prophetic knowledge and foresight to dear leader. Necessity, not ideology. Etc.
bomb the shit out of Oman with what?
his full diapers?
He did make that AI video where he dropped shit from a plane on protestors, so guess you are probably right.
Ah the north Korea playbook
Check the stock market! Someone's making bank.
I hate how likely it is that you are 100% correct.
I only think that because that's what's happened every other time he's made that kind of 'announcement'.
Let's appreciate the facts:
- USA unable to compromise for any sort of peace deal
- Oman, the closest neighboring country wrt Strait of Hormuz makes deal with Iran so shipping can continue
- Trump interpretes this as interfering and threatens to bomb yet another country
And just like that he shits even more on decades of building US influence in the Middle East. As long as Bibi supports him I guess?
This guy is a dangerous idiot. This was known in 2016, in 2020 and in 2024. WTF is wrong with a substantial amount of the US American population? Well, I do know the answer to that. It's the same here even if the percentages are still lower.
Combination of a large population of ass hats who will vote red no matter what, so long as the heathens on the left don't win, and the corrupt DNC consistently shitting the bed on candidates, and Bidens senile ass not giving up the presidency early enough to show if Harris could have been a good president, which pretty much guaranteed a lot of people wouldn't vote for her. She did nothing as VP (at least nothing that was reported on) and the cards were already stacked against her.
Didn't he say he would bomb the shit out of Iran before ? This doesn't seem like a very original threat
Nothing he does is original, that stupid maga shit he's so proud of was just stolen from Reagan who stole it from iirc Johnson(?).
The final final final v3.75 Strait of Hormuz deal (no really this time).
The Sun is a shit source and other better ones exist. For example: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cy5dzk0ryzdo
Did those guys in Oman say something to annoy Netanyahoo?
