I definitely didn't have "starting endless war with fanatics by conducting an incredibly expensive illegal assassination" on my bingo card.
Professor_StevensIt was the only fear I had in his first term that Trump didn't bring to fruition. It seemed then that he was an isolationist.
Well, he may have been. But not anymore.
I wonder how the people working in Freedom Tower feel now when they see an airplane.
Jason Lefkowitz@Professor_Stevens @mmiasma I think it was more that he was surrounded in the first term by grown-ups who restrained him from indulging his worst instincts. Now all those grown-ups are gone, so he is speed-running the list of foreign policy mistakes he wanted to make back then
Trying to make sense of Trump's reasons is probably a doomed undertaking. For a lot of what he does, I'm not convinced "reasons" exist, as you and I would use that word.
Regardless, he didn't take us to war last time. This time, he has. And I am not at all convinced the population of Iran will see America as its liberator.
