As if wearing a campaign hat through a dignified transfer ceremony wasn't bad enough, Donald Trump is using an image from the ceremony to solicit funds. Trump sent an email through a fundraising PAC that shows Trump wearing the hat he sells as the coffin of a soldier who died in Trump's illegal war with Iran passes in front of him.

@#30 ... Trump admitting he started a war ... without having the slightest idea of what would go down after he attacked another country? ...Has Pres Trump made that admission?
If so, got a link?

When TH originally posted this his summary was very different and so was the content at the link.
This post was originally Trump publicly stating that no one thought Iran would strike neighboring countries.

Trump was asked twice on Monday about Iran retaliating against the US by striking targets in other middle east countries. Trump openly admitted that the White House was shocked by Iran's strikes.

In one instance he replied "They weren't supposed to go after all these other countries in the Middle East. Nobody expected that. We were shocked."

To the other instance he said "So they hit Qatar, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait," Trump said. "Nobody expected that. We were shocked."

As I posted in #8, it is unthinkable that in a properly functioning White House that the President could not know how Iran would respond if attacked for two huge reasons. One is that Iran warned the world they would do this back in January. Two is that this is exactly what Iran did after the attack last June which resulted in Trump claiming that the us obliterated Iran's nuclear sites.

Since I made my #8 post several anonymous sources in US intelligence have told media outlets that Trump had been recently warned Iran could strike other nations and close the strait of Hormuz. John Bolton publicly stated that Trump was warned of those scenarios during his first term when Bolton served as National Security Advisor.

The only conclusions I can draw from this is that Trump is incompetent that he doesn't pay attention during critical security briefings or his memory is so degraded that he can't recall key details of those briefings or he is lying, presumably because he'd rather shake the confidence of our allies and military that expect the President to be fully informed before going to war than admit to knowing what the consequences of his decision would like be.
All three conclusions are worthy reasons to invoke the 25th amendment or for Congress to take up impeachment since Trump has shown he is a danger to our country.
