Trump defends Iran war in interviews as strikes continue

Four Seasons Total Landscaping (not really!)16

Given who the president was on January 6, 2021, sure, I’ll believe that his FBI let the rioters into the Capitol that day. On the president’s orders. The #PedoPresident orders.

Christian Petersen12

An emotional, mental, and physical wreck has no place making decisions that affect all of our lives.

Re: "I traveled all the way to Wisconsin for this interview," she pleads It may not seem like it, but catching tRump's live meltdown on-air was worth her trip to Wisconsin. 🤷🏻‍♀️

East Traveler9

So Senator Murphy, the question is, what are you and your fellow Senators on both sides of the isle going to do about? Is Congress going to wait before there is a world-wide catastrophy that could possibly end civilization? Trump's incompetence is capable of anything and the world knows it too!

Jerry7

We can keep dipping this giant turd in gold-leaf forever. Underneath it’s still a stinking pile of excrement.

lolmom.bsky.social7

Wouldn’t Trump be able to prove the FBI was letting people in, since He was President at that time!? FFS

SUEDEI 🇺🇸🔥🗽💜💙🌊6

How about getting the Republican Senators on record saying they agree with his nonsense? How about peacefully protesting Republicans in Congress & the Senate so their families witness daily protests & feel the impact on their lives? Waiting...

No the biggest story is that there is no Republcian party. That it is the party of a criminal anti american con man stealing taxpayer monies daily and trying to install a dictatorship.

Ceejae Devine5

He isn't panicking. He said everything he wanted to say and left. He had no intention of answering her questions.

elanc.bsky.social4

Don't make him out to be crazy. He's not. He deliberately built a narrative of lies. He knew he was lying from day one. He can never admit that any of it is a lie because the whole house of card will collapse. Destroying the truth, the rule of law, democracy, is his MO.

Eric Anderson4

He doesn’t believe any of that, it’s only politically prudent for you to say that. He’s actually lying his face off and deliberately saying bald-faced lies to gin up the stupids. Call his lies out as lies, do not give him any out.

Leila Warner4

Senator Murphy, EVERY word you've written here is RIGHT ON, which should evoke the wrath of the country — yes, against Trump, but to a far greater degree, against the Republicans in Congress. There's VERY little harm he could do to the country without their assistance.

Uncle Bucky4

You don’t think that he actually thinks believes the whole “rigged-election” nonsense he sells to his cultists, do ya? He’s just a deeply kompromised, greedy, power hungry mark who is willing to burn it all down.

JustSomeGuy4

He hasn’t lost touch with reality, he never had a relationship with reality. He says whatever he thinks he needs to say to “win” the argument in the moment. If confronted with reality, he denies reality and attacks the confronter. Facts and the truth mean nothing to him: he’s a sociopath.

Jen aka Grantifa 🐸4

Look at the uncontrolled rage on his face! This temper tantrum alone should be grounds for removal.

Dee Mack3

Weird everyone is crooked except this convicted felon.

joelle11.bsky.social3

Kristen Welker got a bigger story than she thought she would. I'm grateful that the truth actually came out about his mental health.

spyd34.bsky.social3

No, Senator. It's not that he *thinks* those things; that's just a way to *excuse* him. It's that he LIES, every second of every fucking day, about those things and every other thing in the Universe --to further his twin causes of 1) hurting people, and 2) stealing everything under the sun.

I have been a little critical of Kristin Welker platforming Republicans and just letting them spread misinformation without challenging them but I will give her credit in this interview. She pushed back pretty hard on Trump's dubious, to say the least, assertions.

bluemaura.bsky.social3

He actually threw his mic -- where's the ketchup! 🍅

lawcommonsense.bsky.social3

We need more people to challenge his assertions by demanding evidence.

Ahearthasroom2

Oh he understands reality. He understands he will not be held accountable for his lies. After the 2020 election there’s a news clip SOMEWHERE of Don Jr. reassuring reporters that Trump knew he lost, had accepted it and needed a couple days to “process” it. I remember it viscerally. Kindergartener???

grannyvalkyrie.bsky.social2

Whether Trump is suffering from dementia, Alzheimer's, or both, our country cannot afford to keep him in office.

My Snowblower can beat up your snowblower2

He lost it, and instead of providing any evidence to support his lies when challenged, he resorts to insults and name-calling. The man has lost it, and that’s on full display. This needs to be used in campaign messaging. He’s a sick fuck.

Lisa2

The biggest story is actually his corruption and criminality, followed by the fact that he’s a raving lunatic who is owned by Russia and Israel.

Diamond Life2

He doesn’t panic. He thinks he can bulldoze his bs over reality and make himself both the victim and the hero simultaneously. He is also dead wrong.

Sane Lunatic2

Senator - I'm reading "The Cult of Trump", and I agree Trump doesn't know what's real anymore. But we need to inform people that even though impaired, he's using cult tactics that work. We can't dismiss his repetition, dominance, lies, insults, and hate - because a rabid badger can still kill.

epmac.bsky.social2

Question. If indeed the FBI had let all those people into the building, was their rioting, attacks on police, and vandalism not criminal behavior? Which, btw, cost the government, or taxpayers, $2.7 billion?

Jo Ostgarden.bsky.social2

Yeah, I didn’t appreciate the begging at the end. She should have just gotten ip and walked off herself. She always tries too hard to amplify the Orange Demented Mussolini wannabe.

jpgsr.bsky.social2

Then get it in all the papers, on all the stations, and everywhere on social media. Dems in Congress need to talk about it nonstop everywhere possible.

NotGina2

Do YOU know anyone in a leadership position that could do anything??

DrGeophysics (my personal opinions only)32

Just to be perfectly clear. He is the personification of the Republican Party. They are cheering him 24x7 in Wyoming. That’s probably the whole problem, eh?

CocobeansServant .26

Trump isn’t running the show anymore . The ghouls behind the scene are doing everything that they can do to get their agenda done before it’s too late . It’s going at warp speed as if they know that physically and most importantly mentally Trump has checked out . He’s being propped up by a thread .

Jane Rabbit14

Why don't the Welkers, instead of whining about how they flew all the way to Wisconsin, say "OK, sir, but Obama would answer the question. Obama would give me evidence...."

Barb 🌵🇺🇦🌊11

My husband had a stroke in 2000 that they described as a big Little one. He recovered almost completely, but I could see some on going deficits especially when he got tired. He died 6 weeks ago of a 2nd one - described as massive. The problem Drumpf is having with language is telling.

bobbiredsox.bsky.social11

He's also saying the California election was rigged and Spencer Pratt won. He's not well.

WhiteUnderbabiedAmericanCat6

trump is bored with that war and he appointed a guy who builds houses as our nation’s top intelligence official. Has pulte ever held a clearance? how is this being allowed to happen?

Jon Marcus6

They do it because they all value money more than our society. They are selling us all out. To stop this in the future, all congress needs strict term limits. If they know they have a temp job, they won’t kill to keep it. Details here: bsky.app/profile/jmcr...

Josh5

Your article talks about why dissent is important. If Piggy got push back from Republicans for other things he was doing, then he might have conducted things with Iran in a better way. But nothing is pushing him to be better.

US Asunder5

And he's going to the Knicks game tonight... despite War and 'matters pertaining to government.'

John Plum4

I created this, to explain why liar Trump can never back down & only doubles down on the lies he creates, also follows Hitler's playbook 'If you keep repeating a lie over & over again, soon weak minded people will accept you're telling the truth! So now brainwashed Trump thinks he's being truthful!

Dixy Normiss4

What are the odds he’s bribing members of congress? Literally paying them directly or indirectly to look the other way. I’m guessing it’s over 99%

Buddy Stone3

Here's the thing, we're all in the backseat screaming because we see where he's taking us, but he doesn't give a shit. He's listening to radio maga full blast.

lord-of-the-pyrs.bsky.social2

Nope. Trump reads the polls. He knows he is underwater and is dragging the R's down. They have been telling him this. He just doesn't care as long as he is cashing out, and feeding his ego. And he thinks he will cheat his way out of any potential consequences.

Kentucky Hills2

This analogy is very good. Anyone who has driven likely has a physical memory tied to this that they can immediately call to mind. And it is more accurate than using the phrase of guardrails, which is what people tend to use. Guardrails actually stop the car. And yes, he has precious few of those..

Norby36.fellas.social2

Great article. I’m ready for bollards.

Dustin Mueller2

We left the roadway quite a while ago and have been bouncing through the fields since early in his first term. We all see it, and we all know it. But the Epstein class is doing fine, so why bother correcting the path, even though we're barreling toward a proverbial cliff?

Anne L🦋🌊💙2

You are exactly on point. Thank you.

Molten Irony (Wade)4

I think the basis for the war- since USA started EXPORTING OIL again in 2015 after banning the practice since 1975- is to MAKE U.S. OIL INDUSTRY INVESTORS RICHER. (& you can bet that Trump & his enablers are invested in the U.S. oil industry.😉)

GoBlueHalimi3

This should be a wake up call to any future Democratic POTUS and their administration. Fuck the norms, fuck the so called "checks and balances", do what you want and claim some obscure justification like this administration has done in the last 16 months.

Skredberry4

He won’t ever sit for another interview with Welker because she had a backbone. We will run out of reporters with spines before he will answer.

KnowTheTruth3

Many of us, when we were little children, acted like Trump did. But I would never have thought a 79 year old man could have an infantile temper tantrum. Caught in his obvious lies, he pouts and walks out.

The next Interviewer should ask him why he ran in 2024 since -based on the evidence- he doesnt much like the job. Keep them interviews short and crazy. Never let him lie more than once.

A lot of magafolk think you win the election and take office the next day. Ask them who was controlling the FBI on Jan 6 and watch the confusion.

They not only need to do this to him but they need to do it to every single member of the GOP. For some reason the American voting public still believes these people. It's insane.

Remember his MO- he needs to deflect the blame to other people. it’s never his fault. He needs the world to think Bibi went rogue, or some other patsy. He’s a victim, remember? 😡🤦🤦‍♂️

Going to watch and immensely enjoy the "Welker Treatment" he gets when he attends his Knicks game tonight. I'd call that trip extremely stupid. One has to wonder if Don, Jr. didn't invite him to dinner tonight and that was just the best excuse he had to beg off.

Multiple presidents were able to contain Netanyahu's desire to bomb Iran and other countries. Trump could not. Sounds to be that other presidents were much stronger than Trump.

Same. The fact there are people who *still* support him and are glad there is a war blows my mind.

Something tells me this post was not meant to invite several people who still try to assign some kind of reason to a guy with electrified clam chowder inside his skull cavity.

Brian Spiva5

His reason to start the war was to distract from the news stories in February of his interactions with a 13 year old girl. The majority of the population has forgotten that story but not all.

Everyone sees it and still his party is propping him up and between 30 and 40% of Americans tell pollsters they approve of the job he’s doing.

The real reason Dr. Miriam Adelson donated $100 million to Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign is to secure aggressive, unwavering U.S. foreign policy support for Israel and to advance hawkish, right-wing Israeli interests

The entire reason for war with Iran was made up just as with Venezuela and maybe Cuba, Greenland and many other special military actions. War sucks no matter what and should be avoided if possible not undertaken on a whim.

AuroraErratic3

He’s such a dimwit, he thinks he’s the first person to think of it, like he thought he was the first person to think of using antiseptics inside the body. It doesn’t occur to him that other people thought of it but didn’t do it for a reason.

HL Mencken's Ghost2

As I've said before here on Bluesky, I believe Trump jettisoning the Iran Nuclear Deal (Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action) will prove to be one of the most stupid, ill-conceived foreign policy blunders of the 21st century.

Rí Caoimhín 🇮🇪2

This piece is spot on. In the MTP interview yesterday, when asked about the 50K service members he has set to the gulf region for his war with Iran, Trump said "It costs us very little to keep them there". Really? How can he minimize any of the costs, financial or human, with so little backlash?

Iran just fired ballistic missiles at Israel out of the blue and brave little Israel “hit back”. Cardinal rules of American journalism: 1. Israel only retaliates (“hits back”); 2. Israel never violates a cease fire.

Israel will use US to the max in their defense against Iran’s terrorism. It’s about much more than nuclear potential. Iran is their existential threat. Trump is a sucker and is now trapped.
