appear in hindsight to be little more than statistical noise for a man whose approval has been relatively stable throughout his presidency.
In that same Huffington Post poll, 83% of Republicans said they approved of the airstrike. Meanwhile, the president's supporters have gone on the attack, treating the Soleimani strike as the latest way to"trigger" political opponents. Bernie Sanders, one of the Democratic front-runners, was quick to stake out his peace candidate credentials.
Meanwhile, former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg took aim at Sanders, saying it was"outrageous" for the Vermont senator to call the strike an"assassination" . Such a response isn't surprising, given Biden's long record of foreign policy experience, including eight years as vice-president and a lengthy tenure as chair of the Senate foreign relations committee.
The more Biden twists and turns to qualify his Iraq War support, the more media outlets will point out where he is misleading or exaggerating, giving the story national attention - and the more Biden's opponents could sense a weakness they could exploit.As if December's impeachment fight didn't make it hard enough for back-of-the-pack Democrats to generate attention amid a flood of major breaking news, now Iran is set to compete with a Senate trial of the president for top billing.
Errr that's why he's done it...and to deflect impeachment
He will b re-elected under any conditions! Mark those words!
Of course. What else was he going to do ?
It appears that no matter what this man does, no matter how vile, it helps him. A true reflection on the majority of American people these days.
Yes if he follows it up by getting shut of Him and free Iran back to a secular Country
If we will have a Brexit day and a Brexit party then we should have a Trump day and a Trump party as well. Not cause I give a shit but it's nice to have a few extra day off.
He's already there waiting for another big inauguration. Prepare your cameras.
It would be sad
He's a cowboy
Hopefully not
If Trump hid in a cave till election day, he'd still win on account the Dems are in a mess. They have no one to challenge him. This drone strike will probably cause chaos but will by no means effect him, he's gonna be a 2 term Potus.
Yes the Americans will clap like seals waiting to be fed, because they like war and hate not sure why but they fear everyone, and Trumpy knows the buzz words to get the stupid fools wet god bless America. Hahaha don’t make me laugh
Can you not think of anything better. Concentrate on sorting the problems at hand.
👍👍
It’s a matter of timing. Will the war still be popular at election time? I think he’s a bit early
President Trump doing a great job.
Why do you think he’s doing it? Don’t be naive. He accused Obama in 2011 & 2012, on at least six documented occasions, OF THIS VERY TACTIC!
Yup
THAT MR TRUMPS PLAN!!!
Yes, SheldonAdelson is very pleased
Worked for pol pot and idi amin si sure why not
It’s going to help ww3.
I sincerely hope not!
I don't think President Trump needs any help. The BBC are the CNN of the UK. They don't report news they create it. Their support for Labour and the Democrats stands out. Their US expert, Anthony Zurcher as been described as the Carnival Barker for the Democratic Party.
For gods sake BBC get your head out of the Islington bubble and look at the world situation !!!! This is bigger than pathetic side swipes at Trump !
Maybe Iran should pop him off now
That's why it happened and to deflect from impeachment
The result will likely be a second term, but more to do with the poor Democratic candidates they are pushing, the far left policies they are talking about & the strong US economy under Trump. Orange man Bad just hasn't worked.
That is exactly why he has done it!! He will pull it off because a lot of Americans believe the narcissist.
Hope not
of course, the humanity lost the head
if it does it's a judgment on the western world-we]ve seriously lost our way-remember he's not only a warmonger he's also a sex pest a liar and a traitor-MAD
Well he thinks it would, which is why he did it imho.
Really hope not. Think the our US cousins have suffered enough, don't you?
Irrelevant except for smear obsessed bbc
Wouldn't suprise me, people are stupid enough to fall for the daft populist rhetoric.
He's going to get re-elected anyway.
Would hope not . This man is evil
War is always good
Yes
Lets hope not
Yes is the short answer. His supporters like being feared.
The Americans love a good war so what do you think!!
Yes. The American electorate are just as stupid as the UK electorate.
Don't vote him u will see another USA as Indians are seeing another India
All my American USA residing friends stand by Trump for 2 basic reasons 1) he fullfilled election promises & 2) If USA had knowledge this man meant their own harm he had to act. They say impeachment same as our previous parliments attitude - self serving party politics.
You dont think that was in the back of Trumps mind do you ?!?!? Or that impeachment knocking around?...... 100%!
Yes of course! It’s been the intention of this & past presidents as well as their European stooges. They’re all evil & have no qualms in destroying & murdering nations just for their own ambitions. Sooner their demise, sooner the Middle East will prevail in peace & harmony!
..🇺🇸 🇬🇧🇺🇸 🇬🇧🇺🇸 2020 TRUMP
He was going to get reelected anyway . This is just going to mean more people will die because of his actions .
BBC hiding the truth again,tell it as it was, a murder of the General who successfully fought against the ISIS. Here is a clip of the CNN Three years ago crediting Soleimani for the defeat of ISIS. Still believe BBC and many are not part of any agenda
Ew how about no
Iranian faction offers $ 80 million to assassinate Donald Trump The anchor’s voice was heard over the images of millions of mourners accompanying the coffin carrying Soleimani’s remains. It remains to be seen who the US deep state counterpart is within the Iranian state.
Of course he will and if he was already going to be reelected did the president of United states have to go to lengh then to killing Iranian general to help trump be reelected it sounds sick if thats all it was but now he is trying put is much distraction on the matter as much
Shameful and disturbing lack of journalism from
Re-*elected.
Probably it’s what every president and prime minister has done when things look shaky for them.
He was always going to be re-elected.
Haha yes of course it is... I can hear the neanderthalic USA USA USA chant right now. “Ok so you’re saying the opinion polls are correct!?” “Ok Ok, what’s the one thing the American public won’t stand for? A threat to our Democracy, Liberty and Freedom... if only there was...”
He was predicted to be reelected. He has now shot himself in the foot.
The thing trump has done the blind person can see this that he has just done this for America from the last decades each president is elected when he started Obama killed osama bush invasion Afghanistan
😋😋🙄
Nah, the Congress impeachment will see him re-elected. Killing Iranian general was most likely to protect Saudi interests.
That was the game all along
Done deal
Young Soldiers are being sent into battle to die for no good reason. War wil be unleashed for no good reason. He made the move in the dark, against all común sense. Just the whim of this incompetent, insecure little man. Good people will despise him for it.
Yep bit like the Falkland Islands helped Thatcher. Brits turned back into the little war mongering peoples scrawling graffiti like 'nuke the Argies. ' Not far beneath the surface of Yanks either.
Once again a bullshit headline ....where does the BBC get these children from ?
The fallout of the assassination of the Iranian General will help sink Trump. His worst miscalculation so far.
Iran War will ONLy be won if all Maga Red Hats enlist today ....that includes the MAGA boy who insulted the Native American
you spelled terrorist wrong.
The world is fcked if he does!!!
Provided that Iranians remain silent and subdued which is impossible.
NO
If it did ; looks 2ww German ppl. Adolf Hitler was appointed chancellor of Germany in 1933 following a series of electoral victories by the Nazi Party.
Heck no it’s just gonna cause another never ending battle they don’t even know who they fighting urban warfare wag the dog
He accused Obama of planing to do what he has just done for elections....hypocrisy 🤔🙄
Trump will win by a landslide even without killing this terrorist. TRUMP2020Landside
glasgowcentral I hope not, I think that is his intention, but hopefully the American public will see through him. The American people voted him in to stop their troops dying in endless wars, oops how’s that working for you know. Trump is an egotistical maniac, time for him to go
He had no need to increase that gain. He already has approx 75% of the voters and growing.
Yes so what?its’s called: We should thus be killing two or more birds with one stone.
Barack Obama was more dangerous that Trump. Obama was soft and his lack of action lead to trouble. there's alot of dangerous men out there and they take over if you are soft
It might get him the offer of being laid by a fat milf from Wisconsin.
Of course it could that’s why he did it. All tyrants use wars to divert attention from domestic problems to foreign adventures. Keeps the dumb voters happy.
That’s why Trump ordered this attack and he’s now whipping up support by threatening to target cultural sites in Irsn which would be a war crime but does he care not one bit
I think this has actually gone and shown how politically illiterate realDonaldTrump really is. It's helped show impeachment doubters that there may be something in all this after all. If Iran behave, they could come out looking better than the RacistPresident!
It’s a bit early to tell. Maybe they’ll retaliate and he’ll get his own day of mourning?
In the eyes of white people yes
Let’s hope the fuck not
Yes. That's what US Presidents do if they are worried they won't get 2 terms in office. Take the US to war. It keeps the US war machine ticking over and the citizens don't believe you should change leaders mid war
Hell no!
Maybe. If they don't retaliate. But they will. And American lives will be lost. And each and every drop of blood will be on the head of Donald Trump. A corrupt, incompetent, lying mobster who has earned every bit of his infamy, disdain and failure.
simple answer - No. It was a gambit that failed miserably like it did with North Korea. War may still happen, opposed by 75% of Americans.
No
HELL NO ONLY DISTRACT LET THE WITNESS TAKE THE STAND AND THE TRIAL BEGAN AND RELEASE ALL THE EDVIDENCE BE SEEN
uh...no!
I will with me.
Is this the sum of BBC journalism? 'Is murder a positive thing?'
no...trump will get trump re-elected.
No, but it could help him to get Bolton to lie for him.
