Wartime presidents have protection in the minds of Americans, agreed. Israel began the armed conflict with the hope that "two dolls Don" would do exactly what he has done, entangle our country to defend Israel. Israel wasn't defending' it attacked. The United States joins the attack, if only to make it look as though TACO is capable of being on the right side of the issue.

Donald Trump created the circumstances by withdrawal from negotiations with Iran over the concern for nuclear weapons.

So typical, the aristocrate pretends he's a tough guy as long as, it's someone else who does the fighting and the dying. Let's remember Donald doesn't blink when he calls service members "losers" and "fools." Prancing around at his oxymoronic military parade and now "joins the fight" for "freedom." This is the same pansy who ran back to the Whitehouse after igniting a mob of radicals to attack congress.

What's the play here? How do we combat the cult of Trump, now that he's a wartime president?

I appreciate your point of view, and, from where I sit here in Pittsburgh, suspect you are right about the weeks and months to come. Except for this: Trump is still a gasbag and an idiot and there all a whole lot of moving pieces in this situation, many of which are not even here on the ground. Expect the unexpected.
