Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Friday, November 06, 2026

"Whether you think it was the right decision or not, the Iran War is largely what shifted voter sentiment and caused this wave, right? It jacked up the price of gas. That's the thing that people feel most immediately in their pockets, and it changed their minds." The younger Trump, 48, suggested that voters do not care whether the war is the right thing to do or not"they care that they did not get what they voted for. "We also campaigned on not getting into these things, and we don't have to debate whether it was the right thing or the wrong thing," Don Jr. said. "I don't have any of the details. I'm not privy to any of that in terms of the intelligence. But it was definitely something after Afghanistan and Iraq that we probably didn't want to be into."

"Whether you think it was the right decision or not, the Iran War is largely what shifted voter sentiment and caused this wave, right?"

For me it was more about ICE.
I'm used to people like Boaz killing the towel-heads over there.
But we don't need that on our streets.
Plus, people who look a lot like Boaz already do that to each other on our streets, and Boaz praises the Second Amendment every time it happens.
But enough about Boaz!

ICE has a whole aspect about it that people don't really talk about. Not the crying about the poor illegals dying in camps because ICE refuses to give them meds. Trump doesn't care about deporting illegal immigrants. It's not why he's doing sending them to camps. If he cared about deporting them, he'd be deporting them, not sending them to camps. The primary purpose of the camps has nothing to do with illegal immigrants.

The actual reason detainees are being sent to the camps?
It puts hundreds of billions of dollars of taxpayer dollars into the pockets of Republican "Law and Order" fascist cronies.

Corruption up and down, including the Iran War, is why normal people think Trump and the Republicans are the worst bunch of crooks that have ever governed this nation in our lifetimes, and possibly ever.

It was 100% the price of gas.

That's it.

The war was a stupid decision. It's been extremely expensive and completely pointless. But that didn't shift anyone's mind on who to vote for.

The price of groceries didn't help either.

As a Muslim my worldview is definitely skewed, but if I try to look at things objectively, I can still link everything back to Palestine.

The tariffs and war with Iran were absolutely self-inflicted wounds.

Who ever would a thunk these two policies wouldn't work out?

After 250 years of international trade, millions of dollars in simulating war with Iran and the massive Iraq debacle, Trump should've known better.

Well, American voters remember. Quite clearly, it seems.

Perfidy and Murder are real Crimes.

Lack of National HONOR is a Stain that doesn't fade.

The Corruption of Mind involved Repelled many people even if they didn't acknowledge it Conciously.

This,combined with high Costs, caused directly by these Crimes gave an Impetus to get the parties involved out of Power.

In a Parliamentary System Trump would already be gone.....

It's Easier to say High Gas Prices,but that's not entirely so.

Amerikkka sits in a fairly tight Venn diagram of countries that both 1) oppose Palestinian statehood; 2) and do not have universal healthcare for its residents.
