Enten: "It's not just one poll. The five worst polls ever for any president on inflation, they all belong to Donald Trump and they have all occurred in the last month. What we're talking about here is the worst numbers ever. Joe Biden isn't in there. Jimmy Carter isn't in there."

- "We cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon."

And WHY is that?

I mean, it may not be the best thing, but is Iran immune to MAD?

Most nations aren't suicidal, and Israel already has a couple of hundred nukes to defend themselves.

Why should Old Yeller care or even bother to pretend he cares about the welfare of the American people?

Impeachments, felony convictions, bankruptcies, an attempted coup, and ... not only was he elected to the presidency, he was elected again to that office.

And never, along the way, has he shown any interest in the welfare of the American people.

Why start now?

We cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon

Is he back to that one again?

Unlike Israel, Iran is a signatory to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and the IAEA, UN, MI6, CIA, DIA, the Mossad, and USGS never recorded a nuclear weapons test emanating from Iran.

This illogical stance is pure Islamophobia which is bankrupting America financially and morally.

One economist wrote, when all is said and done, this illegal war against the people of Iran will cost Americans "trillions" of dollars.

Thanks Bibi and AIPAC. GFY!

Perhaps they could make some kind of agreement whereby international inspectors could keep an eye on Iran's nuclear program?

That's brilliant.... but then, some idiot would just come along and tear it up.

Then he's lose the war and not even get that... and give the Straits to Iran.

Between the battleship contracts and all of the shady Trumpf Crime Family (TCF) deals, why should this morbidly-obese draft-dodging silver-spooned golf cheating pedophile care about those of us in the hoi polloi?

According to Donny Dementia they totally and completely obliterated their nuclear program for the next twenty years and in the same sentence said they have to finish the job so the next president in two years won't have to do it.

BTW there was an agreement in place to keep them from having a nuclear weapon, but the black guy did it so it was bad.

Above all else, why would Iran sign an agreement with Dementia Don? He has a proven history in private and public life of tearing up his own agreements on a whim.

"I don't think about American financial situation " I don't think about anybody. "

That's not true.

He thinks about himself, and only himself every single day.

That's it, the Trump family, Republican Party, and MAGA ethos rolled into a single motto:

I
REALLY
DON'T
CARE
DO U?
