It’s a defensive move.”

Funny, that's how his buddy Roy Moore likes his girlfriends. Very minor after he posted manufactured videos showing their 'guilt'. In other words...he doesnt want an investigation now, showing HE ordered the drones to attack the ships to provoke a war. TrumpIsResponsibleForAttacksOnOilTankers He needs a bigger false flag attack. George bush got 9/11. Trump wants his false flag to be the biggest and greatest anyone has ever seen

'Every hero becomes a bore at last'Analysis: Hillary Rodham Clinton could not stop him, and Robert Mueller so far has landed something less than a fatal blow. So the task of defeating Trump in 2020 may now fall to Ralph Waldo Emerson We don't believe the deep state ran media polls. Trump will only be defeated if enough people vote who don’t understand economics. 'Through a historical lens he is an obvious plagiarist. Trump has stolen his lines and stage directions from a playbook that is literally as old as print – and from which we can already read his ending.' A historic American failure.

What Trump Can Learn From Reagan About War With IranAnalysis: Reagan’s careful, swift response to Iranian tanker attacks in the 1980s offers a model to Trump for avoiding a catastrophic conflict So he’ll ignore it. They are trying to start a war not avoid one. 'Trump can learn...' Are you kidding? Don't use lead ins like that. Offer opinions all you want but don't use that as a headline or whatever. One of our biggest problems is that Trump doesn't learn. Doesn't see any reason why he should listen to anyone but himself.
