Should Trump strike Iran? What should Trump do?

Should he do nothing? Iran is saying they will not negotiate their nuclear program under fire and Israel appears to be unwilling to cease their campaign. There appears to be an interest in getting rid of the regime.

What do you think Trump's decision will be?

Consent is already being manufactured for this conflict.

The U.S. has desired war with Iran for years. Trump does not want to get directly involved in a new war, but this is a chance for the U.S. to do what it has always wanted to do. We always support Israeli aggression, no matter what it's against. Trump is going to delay involvement as long as he can, but I think he will eventually decide on some kind of strikes.

The thing is, we supply Israel's military, so we're not "staying out of it" even if we're not directly involved. We just get Israel to do the dirty work--ultimately this is all serving our interests.

What interests do YOU have? Trump is working for you. He is a public servant put in place by YOU to do YOUR bidding.

Americans seem to forget that the US is a democracy, not an autocracy run by politicians.

@sree251 Yes, many Americans want this. I don’t.

And should we pretend his campaign promises didn't exist??

“And before I even arrive at the Oval Office, shortly after I win the presidency, I will have the disastrous war between Russia and Ukraine settled.” ... “So when I say ‘end it,’ I’m going to get a settlement very quickly. And I know both people, and you can get it very, very quickly. You can only do it through the presidency, but you control the money coming in, coming out. You can get that. I will have that settlement done within 24 hours.”

-- Trump March 25, 2023. Rally in Waco, TX

“Before I even arrive at the Oval Office, I will have the horrible war between Russia and Ukraine totally settled. I’ll have it done in 24 hours. I say that, and I would do that. That’s easy compared to some of the things – I’d get that done in 24 hours. I know them both. I know them both. As the Bible says, ‘Blessed are the peacemakers.’ See that? And I will be your peacemaker. I was your peacemaker.”

I will have that war settled between Putin and Zelenskyy.

-- Trump at CNN's June 2024 debate

The war in Ukraine would be over, Trump promised at the debate, “before I take office on January 20th.”

When I’m back in the White House, we will expel the warmongers, the profiteers … and we will restore world peace.

-- Trump at the 2024 National Guard conference

My proudest legacy will be that of a peacemaker and unifier.
