Make Elections Real Again

I have been asked why I give Trump latitude on the Iranian military engagement. Here is why: The trust is because Trump got in and got out of Iran last summer without loss of a single American life. The trust is because he killed Solemaini and Baghdadi finishing ISIS without loss of a single American. The trust is because he got Maduro without losing a single American. The trust is because there are over a dozen foreign nations who said "Trump got us out of [x] war." Again, without loss of a single American. The trust is because of the Abraham Accords. The trust is because he got India to drop their tariffs. The trust is because he said "F your Paris Accords" and "F trying to bribe Iran not to destroy the world." The trust is because he made the EU start paying their share in NATO. The trust is because he stopped contributing billions to theUkraine War. The trust is because he brought 18 TRILLION in foreign investment in one year compared to Biden bringing 1 trillion in four years. The trust is because he made Americans proud to join the military and serve. The trust is because reinvigorated a healthy sense of nationalism in a way we haven't seen in decades. The list goes on and on. After all these wins, in year 6 of him serving as our Commander In Chief, this is the very first time that he has come out and said "this is important enough that we need to risk American lives and unfortunately some may die." He has never done that before. We cannot have access to the classified Intel he has. Obviously. And as a general rule, I assume that my government is lying to me and paid by the military industrial complex to sell me on war. But with all of his blood-free international wins, this is the guy I trust when he says the Intel dictates we make this move now. That trust is not forever. It's a pretty short leash by military engagement standards. I pray we don't see American boots on the ground inside Iran and that we see no more American deaths. I also recognize that it's political suicide to go into election season this summer in a hot war. This better be a distant memory in the fall. But if anybody has earned our trust by proving that he gets win after win internationally while being exceedingly prudent in risking American lives, President Donald Trump is that man.
