With a rain of ballistic missiles at Iraq’s Ain al-Asad and Irbil air bases, President Trump became a wartime leader at the dawn of an election year

“After leaving the White House, I have a lot more time to read for pleasure, so I’m currently reading Willa Cather’s novelThe book tells the story of a woman who homesteaded in Nebraska in the late 19th century. My family also homesteaded, and the book has given me a lot of insights into their experience, particularly the women in my family, and gives me extreme gratitude for how much easier our lives are today.

It seems Trump set off a sequence of events resulting in the downing of the Boeing 727 over Iran

Terrorism is a GLOBAL issue! When are people going to realize this! From FANATICS, drug cartels, bullying, RAPISTS, threats, religion, it’s a global war that affects the entire planet, and we should all stand together on this ONE, PLEASE THINK THINK THINK, WHERE TO YOU WANT BE

Don’t we have to actually be at war !

Don't say that. Don't glorify him. He is a bumbling miscast who came to power by ill-gotten means.

A wannabe Obama! All this corruption because of Obama embarrassing him at a dinner😳.acoruptfamilyandadministration.

Why is Politico feeding into his fragile ego? Maybe if we just call him a war president, he won’t feel the need to do any more bombing?

Nonsense he is Wagging the Dog. Shame on you for this “reporting.” It’s propaganda spread, it’s dangerous, and you’re disgusting.

I don't see anything wrong with Trump being wise and doing what any person would do..common sense isn't a political party

“wartime” leader 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 beto was right, again. trump’s the arsonist who comes in and puts out the fire he started then claims to be a hero

MSM.Desperate to hold onto their cash cow. It’s so transparent now that anyone who is in denial of their role in Trumps chaos n efforts towards his re-election is wilfully ignorant.MSMSUCKS

The Antichrist will be a warmonger

This is journalistic malpractice. This headline is disgraceful. This man is not A-war time president he is not a leader. He is incompetent the thin skinned and conducted an assassination to divert from his own domestic scandals which seemed to be running out like a firehose

Who wrote this stupid headline? Did you see his performance today. He was a mess!

Leader my ass! Not one of those high ranking soldiers would follow this coward into his cave

Try bumbling blowhard.

This is why you’re blocked.

Wartime leader? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Nice try.

I'm really disappointed that politico worded it like that.

He’s a fking murderer that’s all

God bless Mr. Trump our president of the United States of America we the American people love him

No he isn’t.

Did he do the right thing? Yes! Get over it!

Rally ‘round the flag, boys! An election is comin’!

Politico is a comic book.

He’s an ass

This HAS to be irony.

Who does your makeup, realDonaldTrump? TrumpsWarOfMassDistraction TrumpsWar

Trump shouldn't get congratulated for a problem he helped cause. That's like me smoking in bed, catching the house on fire, then telling you to thank me for telling someone to dial 911 ... on their phone!

Leader? Hilarious!

War time leader? Politico must have had what DonTheCon was spazzing on today. What a sight! That Orange face with the blue tongue.

Narrator’s voice: “He wasn’t a wartime leader.”

Aaaaaaand, he Still SUCKS!

Wartime CHEATER.

This is parody, right?

This is a joke, right?

Love our wartime president!

Not a leader of any kind. WTF is wrong with you?

He is a war criminal

He's not a leader

Get the hell outta here with this bull. He started this crisis. Are we supposed to applaud that he didn't FUBAR it?

POLITICO, you’re ridiculous!!!

HE'S NO LEADER

Nah, not really. Nice try though.

You’re a joke!! War leader? Hahaha!

lol. No.

Such utter and complete nonsense! He's the same reckless, narcissistic traitor he has always been.

From MAR-A-LAGO NO LESS!

Seriously, Politico? Seriously?

NO. HE. DID. NOT. Don’t try and start that bullshit again.

Leader

We're at war?

I see fluffers don't only serve in the porn industry.

Leader is the wrong word.

This is how America collapses and never recovers. This is not news. This is propoganda.

Not really. He created a mess and then quickly cowered his way out of it. Normal procedure for that shitweasel. Anything but a leader, he should be treated as what he is: a bumbling, bloviating, inhumane, narcissist with Daddy issues and severe Obama complex.

Trump ain't leading shit

WTF is going on ? He paying you? You do know the courae of events, right? Impeached. McConnell refuses to have a fair trial ...trump wags the dog...and while waiting for Iran to bomb the shit out of us, MoscowMitch doublea down on a fake trial.

Lol, WUT?

What kind of garbage is this?

My God! Learn a fracking lesson. Stop the propaganda. The whole world can see he never tells the truth and knows NOTHING. Impeached and incompetent now has two asterisks 45**

His actions caused this! This is not a game. Lives are in the balance. What is wrong with you?

what is wrong with today? damn!

LOLOLOLOL

TRUMP HAS PROVEN TO BE A GREAT MAN AND AN INCREDIBLE CIC!!!!!!!!

This is a disgusting take and you should be ashamed.

This is bullshit.

Yeah, not so much.

Wtf is this?

I'm even wondering if the missiles were carrying actual warheads....deliberately causing little damage....the message is f...u...realDonaldTrump and it was loud and clear even for dumbass to understand...

I’ve seen no evidence of leadership.

Nope.

The President of the United States of America!

keeissner If that's what you think

No rain, just 22

He as no idea what Iran can accomplish in the Middle East

War Vulture ..oops, War Eagle!

Will his Obama jealousy never end?

the us has been at war for like a solid two decades what even is this tweet?

Nope.

Trump and his military advisors are all a bunch of idiots with no real plans and no strategy.... Just like those idiots in charge of the Bush Iraq invasion who also had no real plans or strategy. Let's just get out of every nation and Deal with the problems here in America

Why would you write something like that? It is far from the truth and absolutely misleading.

We’ve been “at war” with these clowns for 40 years now, so get with the program.

This isn't a war yet because Iran is showing some restraint, and Trump has enough drugs in him to keep him from pushing the button. Let's hope for more of this.

No he isn’t he is a war criminal

Are you for real. He started this mess based on his impulsive recklessness. He caused the Dam break, don’t give him credit for plugging the hole. He also put Iran back on the path toward getting nukes while diverting out fight against isis and you write a PR piece

Please. Unless you mean “A Leader of War.” That would be more accurate.

DICTATOR TRUMP IS NO LEADER, HE IS A TYRANT, LIAR AND CORRUPT TO THE CORE. WE PEOPLE OF AMERICA HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF HIS LIES AND CORRUPTION. WE WILL TURN THIS COUNTRY BLUE

Footage for his Super Bowl Ad.

Sorry but he lacks a Declaration of War from Congress.

How stupid is that. He started the conflict. Then lied about Obama gifting funds. How stupid people are who believe this crap? He’s a desperate man creating dangerous situations all for HIMSELF so he looks good in the middle of his impeachment.

No war yet! War will start when Iran hits the Saudi Arabian oil fields.

Lol

TRUTH FUMING refs 2 Trump being 'president' 'wartime leader'. The audacity of gov't/military acknowledging/indulging/taking orders from a MAD MAN so HORRIFYINGLY UNQUALIFIED leaves a petrified America gasping in the throes of devastation at the power of 1 who destroys a nation!

WTF Politico? He started it, then was held back last night. This is ridiculous.

What the shit is this shit?

I've seen more damage after the 4th of July fireworks than those Iranian missiles. If that's the WORLD WAR III you deranged Dems were tutting about you need therapy!

realDonaldTrump Way to start and use a war to deflect from Impeachment! Remember what you said on 11/10/2013? It’s like you had ESP or something? UnfitToBePresident UnfitForOffice CorruptGOP HeadoftheSwamp ImpeachAndConvictTrump warmonger allisNOTwell ImpeachedPresident

He’s an idiot war or no war

What the hell is wrong with you?

WE'VE BEEN AT WAR CONTINUOUSLY SINCE 2001!

Who declared war? How do we know when we win? How does it end?

“became”

Wartime monger

Iraqis want us out I sure hope this is fake news I sure do may be it was because of the speech made by the Iraqis foreign minister...the least little antagonism sets off his mental state of mind in dangerous proportions and dangerous implications.

Ummm, I'm not a news organization like you, but I believe there is a war in Afghanistan, a war in Iraq, and a Global War on Terrorism. How the hell can you not know this?

He is an idiot....wag the dog was his game

“Leaders” even in war doesn’t resemble anything what Trump is. An unstable human being is not a leader.

He has always been a war president. The war against humanity.

This is a bullshit chest thumping headline if ever there was one

We’ve been at war with Iran for decades. Soleimani had his hand in over 600 American deaths! 🤔😲

Still IMPOTUS

“Leader”

Take “leader” away, please.

TrumpsWarOfMassDistraction TrumpImpeachment TrumpWarCriminal TrumpBully

War can only be declared by Congress. If the president bypassed Congress to start a war with unauthorized missile strikes, why is that not an impeachable offense?

There is nothing that indicates he’s a leader. He’s a toxic cloud of disaster.

Wartime tweeter. Bad headline.

it isn't war, quit fear mongering

Clickbait headline. Settle down war cheerleader

Ummm...Hard NO.

Leader of foreign bots paid to lie to the uneducated sheep in America.

Nope. He’s still an Asshole Leader.

No he's not, and don't give him this kind of validation. Pay the writer double then delete the article before you idiots get us all killed by feeding his ego.

Tell me what Republican President lately is NOT a wartime President?

Trump is wagging Politico

Tread lightly but carry a big ass stick.

Lol f politico

He's a war criminal. Instigator. Careless bungler.

Of course this is a JakeSherman piece. The man is the current hack du jour.

Big-time wrong here! Blundering into a hot exchange (with a well-armed well-educated nation with radical leaders but a large moderate populace) that easily could have been avoided - does not make OrangeCrush a wartime leader. Just the opposite. He’s a war-monger!

“Leader” 😂😂😂😂😂

The fave of evil

Lol at your headline. Guess I’ll stay for the ratio.

No, Trump is an impeached president now. Let's get to removing him. The rest is MOB bluster.

Through crafted words has Politico given credence to trump's ensuing claim to being a combat veteran? His he now eligible for the CMoH he covets? He now legitimately knows the stress of leading in battle? Will the inherent stress manifest humility? Thanks.

You are using “leader” very loosely.

IMPEACHED war so-called president.

Pretend in a dangerous political show game. But in this game reality can fast become horror.

A war he could have completely avoided. And then promptly went off line until morning after lying that 'All is well.' NoWarWithIran ImpeachTrump

I really and truly hope you people have reported this nauseatingly sycophantic headline as a campaign donation. This was a failed and obvious attempt at wag the dog politics by the most incompetent occupant of the White House in US history.

So, what’s new

An impeached president making these decisions is unimaginable.

Trump is 'more unhinged by the hour,' U.S. Senator warns amid escalating Iraq, Iran tensions: 'This is a very dangerous time'President Donald Trump threatened Iraq with sanctions if it ordered U.S. troops out of the country and warned Iran he would hit cultural targets—a potential war crime—if it attacks Americans. Trump continues to present us with one constitutional challenge after another. We have a remedy for a rogue president. The House has done their work. The Senate could do theirs now, if only they would. But the GOP is complicit to Trump’s dangerous behavior. Just cuz he likes to finger paint and eats paperclips doesn’t mean he is crazy

President Trump wavers on threat to hit Iranian cultural sitesTrump laments that the U.S. has to be 'gentle' with Iran's cultural sites but adds, 'if that's what the law is, I like to obey the law.' Attacking cultural sites is an international war crime, according to the 1954 Hague treaty and a 2017 UN resolution. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 There should be an exam to qualify for Presidency. Rudimentary, High School level History and Civics should be mandatory. Psycho

President Trump backs off threat to hit Iranian cultural sitesPresident Donald Trump on Tuesday backed off his threat to strike Iranian cultural sites, which would be war crime, amid elevated tensions with Iran. Good. I don't want a war to start. Because it is New York Times Nov, 2, 2019 found that, during his time in office, Trump 'retweeted 217 accounts that have not been verified by Twitter,' at least 145 of which 'have pushed conspiracy or fringe content, including more than two dozen that have since been suspended by Twitter.'
