Trump Goes on Wild Posting Spree to Try to Shift War Blame

Donald Trump played a game of hypotheticals and then thanked himself in the third person as part of an attempt to deflect blame for his strikes on Iran.

During a Truth Social posting spree, Trump, 79, first made a dubious claim about the nuclear deal agreed to under the Obama administration.

“If I didn’t terminate Obama’s horrendous Iran Nuclear Deal (JCPOA), Iran would have had a Nuclear Weapon three years ago,” he argued. “That was the most dangerous transaction we have ever entered into, and had it been allowed to stand, the World would be an entirely different place right now. You can blame Barack Hussein Obama, and Sleepy Joe Biden.”

He ended the post with an all-caps pat on the back: “THANK YOU PRESIDENT TRUMP!”

They are always right, never wrong, and always blame someone else when things go wrong. I really dislike all of them. Jfc

You can find them in the neighborhood bar expounding endlessly on subjects they don't understand. Everything that goes wrong is someone else's fault and their often abused wives keep leaving them.

That is how I picture Trump minus the money, privilege, and power. The tavern blowhard.

Trumps grandstanding and deflections. Hegseth’s bullshit and fluffery. Vance’s distancing. Rubio’s fecklessness. Not one of them are capable of speaking straight to the American people because they each have too much to hide. What an utter failure.

That's like saying pulling security from a department store stopped shoplifting. What an insane thing to say. This is why the 25th Amendment was passed.

By bypassing Congress with this illegal war, there's literally nobody else to blame but himself.

I'm sure he understands that now and that's why he's back peddling.

The irony is that his minions would have gladly given him the votes.

Then again, if they gave him the votes, they would definitely lose in the midterms, which would lead to his impeachment.

Catch 22 I guess.
