Trump ally admits political risk of Iran war at campaign event

The comments, obtained by POLITICO, are a stark acknowledgement from Republican Rep. Ashley Hinson.

Sen. Jon Ossoff: "While you pay more for everything, Donald Trump wants your tax dollars for what many are calling the #JeffreyEpstein Memorial #Ballroom."
#politics #inflation #WhatAWaste
Scott MacFarlane: "Donald Trump's fingerprints are all over a new Justice Department's court filing defending the Trump #Ballroom. It has random capitalization, it claims that Trump is providing America an 'invaluable gift,' and it claims the project is 'underbudget' despite a Senate request for $1 billion in taxpayer money."

Emily Singer wrote: "So all this war did was strengthen Iran and fuck over Americans with higher gas prices. Thanks Trump!"

That isn't fair. The #IranWar also killed many innocent people, weakened the reputation and the international alliances of the United States, and enriched Russia.

It looks like the winners of Trump's unnecessary #IranWar will be Iran and China.

"China is watching how fast America burns through its high-end missiles, from Tomahawks to Patriot air defenses. Every missile being used in Iran is a missile that can’t be used to deter in the Indo-Pacific."
#OperationEpicFailure #WhatAWaste #politics

The #IranWar "is revealing American military and strategic vulnerabilities — and offering important lessons to its biggest rival. China is watching as the U.S. fails to cut through an Iranian blockade and expends heavy firepower, the Trump administration struggles to extricate itself from an unpopular war, global gas prices soar":

Trump Tells Congress Why He Doesn’t Need Its Authorization for the Iran War

In letters to the House and Senate, the president asserted that the hostilities had “terminated,” in an apparent attempt to avoid having to seek congressional approval.

The New York Times
"Iranian attacks since late February inflicted far greater damage on US #military bases in the Middle East than officials have publicly acknowledged. Strikes hit over 100 targets across 11 bases, breaching air defenses, destroying infrastructure and aircraft, and causing billions in damage":

#IranWar Update from Tom Nichols: "The president of the United States does not know what he's doing. He's an unstable person and the people below him are incredibly incompetent. His negotiating team is his son-in-law and a real estate developer. The Secretary of State is somewhere. The Director of National Intelligence is virtually invisible."

Sen. Chris Van Hollen said the #IranWar costs our government about one billion dollars per day.
