SO UNFAIR. Orange Julius Caesar is very upset with the WSJ, & BIG MEANIE Peggy Noonan just kicked him while he's down [View all]
In a column published Thursday, the Reagan speechwriter and longtime conservative voice (Peggy Noonan) delivered a pointed rebuke of Trump's failure to make a serious public case for the war in Iran and didn't spare his vice president either.
"We dont even know, a month into Iran, why now. Iran has been the worlds fanatic irritant for almost 50 years. What is the plan?" Noonan wrote.
"You cant take a nation to war without this rhetorical predicate," she wrote. "Mr. Trump has failed to provide it. Now and then he announces things behind a podium, and there are regular responses to questions in press gaggles, where he reacts off the cuff. But nothing thought-through, no serious document making the case. And the public is never reassured."
"If Donald Trump cant do this, and his vice president cant do it sincerely, maybe the secretary of state should step in?"
Noonan concluded that Trump's failure to communicate is "part of why the president's popularity is falling."
