“In 40 minutes, Donald said: the Straight of Hormuz isn’t closed, but he wants it reopened; we’re not at war with Iran, but our allies are cowards for not helping; he wants a ceasefire, but he doesn’t want one. He also declared victory three times. Such clarity. Such leadership.”
~ Mary Trump
Ran into this Facebook post by Occupy Democrats, and instantly thought it was worth posting.
For all the talk from MAGA world about how Joe Biden was too old to serve as president and had stopped making sense long ago, they sure seem to conveniently tune out all of the times when Trump fails to make sense or contradicts himself. Not that any of this is new. But it sure seems like Trump's problems with a lack of clarity are growing more common and more severe.
All of this seems particularly true when it comes to the Iran war. First of all, he claimed to have "completely obliterated" Iran's nuclear capabilities last summer, but then claimed that an attack on Iran was urgent because they were about to strike the United States. His reasons for the war changed over time, as did the objectives. At times, it is about "regime change." At other times, it is pre-emptive, to prevent them from striking us first. He then says that we already won the war, that we won it in the first hall of this on it's own. He called it a war in the first days, then said it's not really a war for the United States, but it is a war for Iran, whatever that means.
So many contradictions already. Yet, he outdid even himself in a recent speech. In the post mentioned earlier, the Occupy Democrats posted all of the contradictions that Trump expressed within minutes of each other. He would claim some things, then completely refute it, almost in the next breath. Then he would contradict other earlier claims he made.
Ridiculous.
This is what passes for leadership?

Here are all the contradictions, lies, and backtracks that Trump made in just ONE HOUR of blabbing to the media:
12:03 PM: Trump says he wanted a ceasefire with Iran. 12:05 PM: Trump declares victory against Iran. 12:07 PM: Trump says he’s sending Marines against Iran. 12:08 PM: Trump says no boots on the ground. 12:11 PM: Trump says he does not want a ceasefire. 12:16 PM: Trump declares victory again. 12:17 PM: Trump asks for a ceasefire with Iran. 12:23 PM: Trump says NATO are cowards for not helping him. 12:29 PM: Trump says Iran is begging for a ceasefire. 12:31 PM: Trump says everything is “perfect.” 12:36 PM: Trump says $500-a-barrel oil is a good thing. 12:37 PM: Trump demands Iran open the Straits of Hormuz.
12:39 PM: Trump says the Straits were never closed.
12:41 PM: Trump says the US is not at war with Iran.
12:42 PM: Trump declares victory against Iran again.
It could not be more obvious that he does not have any kind of grasp on reality, and he needs to be removed from office by 25th Amendment ASAP.
We cannot let this man be left in charge of a war with thousands of lives on the line. He has no idea what is going on, has no plan to resolve it, and can't even stick to his own lies for more than ten minutes.
