Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Saturday, February 28, 2026

Overnight Donald Trump continued his charade as a man of peace as the United States and Israel attacked Iran. In a post on Truth Social, Trump warned that there will be American casualties, but that this had to be done for the future, and that it is a noble mission.

"And through his policy also he shall cause craft (deceit) to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand." - Dan 8:25

"AI Overview

Daniel 8:25 describes a crafty, arrogant leader (the "little horn") who uses deception to gain power, destroys many while they are at ease, and opposes the "Prince of princes" (God/Jesus). Ultimately, this power is broken, but not by human hands, signaling a divine intervention.

Key Themes in Daniel 8:25:

Deceitful Prosperity: He thrives through cunning and craftiness, making deceit succeed under his influence.

Arrogance & Self-Exaltation: He magnifies himself in his heart, considering himself superior.

Destruction by Peace: He destroys many unsuspecting people, often while they feel secure.

Opposing the Divine: He stands against the "Prince of princes" (often interpreted as Christ or God).

Divine Destruction: He is broken, but "not by human hands" or "power," indicating supernatural destruction.".

"Trump makes SHOCK ADMISSION as WAR INTENSIFIES!!

MeidasTouch

"Donald Trump has made a stunning
admission about the war against Iran.

Rather than addressing the American
people directly, he's making social
media posts and he's now saying, "Buckle
up. This war is going to take a very,
very long time."

And again, not directly
addressing the American people, but
posting messages like this on his social
media platform.

He writes, "Kainy, one
of the most evil people in history, is
dead."
He goes on to say, "Hopefully the
IRGC, that's the Iranian Revolutionary Guard
Corps and police will peacefully merge
with the Iranian Patriots and work
together as a unit to bring back the
country to the greatness it deserves.

That process should soon be starting in
that not only the death of Kmeni but the
country has been in only one day very
much destroyed and even obliterated.

The heavy and pinpoint bombing however will
continue uninterrupted throughout the
week or as long as necessary to achieve
our objective of peace throughout the
Middle East and indeed the world."

''
"Peace through war, in other words, is Donald
Trump's plan. even though he ran on no
regime change wars.

And it should also
be noted that Donald Trump here is now
saying there really is no plan.
Hopefully, and what hopefully the IRGC
merges with Iranians.

That's what your plan is. And he said it could take weeks."

Above link also covers that the CIA estimates are that the Islamic Republic will appoint an even tougher hard rwinger to power.

Trumpers are talking a long slog.... you know, at least until the Mid-Terms, so don't plan on voting so much.

And DJT is busy tonight at a Republican fund-raiser.
