So it's the usual from the Cultists.
You don't want to talk about the fact that Trump did create this mess by tearing apart the agreement, for no other reason than it had Obamas name on it, because I guarantee he actually knew absolutely NOTHING about the agreement.
And all you want to do is piss and moan that Trump gets criticized rather than actually addressing the criticism.
Not this Democrat.If Trump decides to stay out of the Iran conflict, then dems will piss and moan, and say that he needs to intervene.
He should not intervene and or get us and our Military more involved in the Middle East, period!If Trump decides to take action in the Iran conflict, then dems will piss and moan, and say that he should not intervene.

That has been my stance with all Presidents going back to before I even became eligible to Vote, and all during my 42 years as a Registered Republican, and up to now since I was LEFT out of the Republican Party in 2016 due to MAGA.
It's not a minor scenario we're in. This is not a game and there are enormous ramifications of all decisions and directions in this situation.
There are a wide variety of opinions, many good and intelligent ones. Trump is and always has been one to listen to and consider many various options and ideas, including opposing ones. Once, he's done that, he decides. I'm confident he is doing just that, and there will be no rebellion. The Republican party is more united than at any time I can remember.
Our Military and U.S. Civilians supporting our Military constantly being in the region to threaten Iran et al is one of the reasons there is so much tension there.I'll agree with you here, but if Iran attacks US citizens or troops in the region that's a different story.
I agree most vehemently.We don't need to be getting involved in the insanity going on in the ME today.
I just pray KING MAGAT aka President Donald Trump doesn't do anything to make the situation worse.I just hope Trump is not listening to prophecy guru's or taking religion into his decision, but idk.
It is actually this part of what you wrote that has me wondering something:It's not like you offered anything insightful at all, you immediately deflected to the Democrats.
Trump should back down from this one, US military intervention will only make matters worse. We did have a deal with Iran before Trump regarding the development of nuclear weapons. Trump threw it out, and now we're in a bigger mess. Iran is even contemplating leaving the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty now.
If we're to have meaningful progress in terms of restricting Iran from weapons, it will need to come through diplomacy and not military interventionism.

Flag poles and parades are top of his list.You missed the point. The point being that no matter WHAT Trump does or doesn't do, dems will piss and moan about what he did, or didn't do.
The clinical term for this phenomenon is TDS.
Trump loves criticism. It gives him reason to come up with clever nicknames for incompetent democrat leaders like 'Pocahontas', 'Newscum', 'Crooked Hillary', 'Sleepy Joe', Lyin' Kamala' et. al.
Flag poles on the White House lawn are meaningful to Trump, apparently.
Of course it is. It doesn't matter what Trump does, or doesn't do. TDS demands that one must ALWAYS disagree with Trump even though that person intellectually knows that Trump is right on an issue or policy. TDS demands hostility towards Trump - even when it is illogical to do so.Flag poles and parades are top of his list.
Saying that Trump does a lousy job as president is not TDS...it's called the truth.
Nah - that's a fairly common LWL misconception. According to Psychology Today:Constantly defending his inadequacies is TDS..
source: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/angerTDS is a term used to describe a form of toxic criticism and negative reaction to President Trump’s statements and political actions. . . . . Signs of TDS can be observed along a continuum of reactions, ranging from verbal expressions of intense hostility toward President Trump to overt acts of aggression and even violence against anyone supporting or anything symbolizing him.
The U.S. certified in April 2017 and in July 2017 that Iran was complying with the deal. On 13 October 2017 President Trump announced that he would not make the certification required under the Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act, accusing Iran of violating the spirit of the deal and calling on the U.S. Congress and international partners to "address the deal's many serious flaws". On 8 May 2018 the U.S. officially withdrew after Trump signed a Presidential Memorandum ordering sanctions reinstatement. In 2025, the consequences of the U.S. withdrawal from the agreement became acutely evident when its ally Israel attacked Iran on June 13, 2025, despite a lack of proof that Iran has been developing any nuclear weapons.
He is stopping production of the penny.Of course it is. It doesn't matter what Trump does, or doesn't do.

Name one thing that Trump did (or didn't do), that you agree with. Just one.

The Times reports, "President Trump declared on May 8, 2018, that he was withdrawing from the Iran nuclear deal, unraveling the signature foreign policy achievement of his predecessor Barack Obama, isolating the United States from its Western allies and sowing uncertainty before a risky nuclear negotiation with North Korea.According to Trump's Director of National Intelligence (DNI), Iran is not currently building a nuclear weapon and the Supreme Leader has not authorized the resumption of a weapons program. This assessment is consistent with past intelligence reports.
It is quite likely that Iran does not want a nuke. Iran's bitter enemy, Israel, has between 75 to 200 nukes. (Israel does not publicize her nuclear stockpile.)
Somebody in the Trump administration has to be aware that Iran is far stronger than Iraq was in 2003, when the U.S. started the war with Iraq.Trump will decide whether or not the US gets directly involved in the Iran-Israel conflict within the next two weeks, the White House has said.
The Framers placed the President in command of America's military. They never imagined that Americans would be foolish enough to elect a man like Trump to the Presidency.
When it comes to command of America's military, Trump is clueless.According to Trump's Director of National Intelligence (DNI), Iran is not currently building a nuclear weapon and the Supreme Leader has not authorized the resumption of a weapons program. This assessment is consistent with past intelligence reports.

Technically speaking, the war lasted a few weeks at most. The following occupation and nation-building misadventure is what lasted years.Somebody in the Trump administration has to be aware that Iran is far stronger than Iraq was in 2003, when the U.S. started the war with Iraq.
The Iraq War lasted eight years.
In the current Israel/Iran war Iran's ground units, armored units, air force, and naval units have not been touched. She still has plenty of ballistic missiles and drones. She controls terrorist organizations in Gaza, Iraq, Lebanon, Jordan, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Afghanistan, and other Islamic states. She can shut off the oil passing through the Straight of Hormuz in a heartbeat.
Does Trump really want to shake this hornets nest?
That's nothing compared to his tariffs.So everything will cost two or three cents more since no business is going to round down.
That's nothing compared to his tariffs.
46 years ago, we reaped the whirlwind of our regime change of 1953, one of Eisenhower’s worst mistakes.I'm totally okay with kicking Iran in the ass.
We should have done it 46 years ago.
If Trump decides to stay out of the Iran conflict, then dems will piss and moan, and say that he needs to intervene.
If Trump decides to take action in the Iran conflict, then dems will piss and moan, and say that he should not intervene.
Okay. So what?46 years ago, we reaped the whirlwind of our regime change of 1953, one of Eisenhower’s worst mistakes.
Great powers NEVER learn that regime change almost always leads to disaster down the road.

Yes, trump loves criticism, that's why he called ABC and raised hell (or one of his subordinates did) and got Terry Moran fired after their interview.You missed the point. The point being that no matter WHAT Trump does or doesn't do, dems will piss and moan about what he did, or didn't do.

Why are Trump supporters always so worried about what the Democrats are going to do?
Do the homework, figure out where you stand in the issue that is hopefully the right thing to do, and get on your guy to do that right thing. That’s what EVERYONE should do.
In my case the homework says that you can’t destroy Iran’s nuclear capability without destroying their Fordo Nuclear site, which is in a mountain. That only one non-nuclear bomb in the world has the ability to breach and destroy it. That bomb is the 32,000 lbs bunker buster, and only one plane in the world has the capability to deliver that bomb on site; the B-2 bomber and we are the only nation that has it configured to carry that bomb to the target.
So do WE destroy it or not, because only we can?
I know where I stand on it.
I think if you really are planning to use nuclear energy only for civilian purposes you don’t build your plutonium creator into the base of a mountain. I think Israel has given us an excuse to correct this. We tell them to clear the area because in six hours it’s toast. Enough time for them to run for the hills. Then with a screen of Israeli jet fighters to commit them to this and make it a non-unilateral proposition we fly two B-2s with two bombs and flatten that mountain and the high grade plutonium creator within it. (Optional, no warning and you destroy not only the site but most of the people Iran needs to manage such a site who are on staff and in site - I go with the warning the first time)
Then we back off with the caveat that we know they were lying, they left us no choice, we’re done for now but if they insist on doing anything stupid in response or try to rebuild it we’ll be back.
I'm okay with saying out of that mess.
We learned hard lessons about mission creep with Vietnam and Afghanistan - - how a "quick" and "decisive" military intervention can turn into a 20 year conflict.
Nah. The U.S. is not the policeman of the world.
"America is not the world's policeman. Terrible things happen across the globe, and it is beyond our means to right every wrong." - Barack Obama
