BUNKER-BUSTED: David Frum Claims ‘Trump Always Chickens Out’ Hours Before Iran Strike
NewsBusters ^ | 6/23/2025 | Joseph Vazquez

Posted on 06/23/2025 11:42:34 AM PDT by JV3MRC

Talk about getting Jim Cramered. The Atlantic’s pompous loudmouth of a staff writer David Frum committed an unforced error by publicly showcasing how he literally knows nothing about the Trump Doctrine on military strategy or foreign policy.

Frum attempted to make it seem like Iran had President Trump’s number in a June 21 screed, “The mullahs of Iran join the bet that Trump always chickens out.”

Frum was responding to Trump’s retrospectively deceptive tactic to make it appear he was waiting two weeks before making a decision on whether the U.S. would conduct targeted strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities. “A dramatic victory seemed poised to tumble into [Israel’s] lap. Why not his? But as the hours passed, Trump reconsidered. Instead of acting, he postponed. He said that a decision would come within ‘two weeks,’” Frum chirped.

Frum, behaving like he got a zinger in at Trump, mocked how “Trump is vulnerable to the negotiate-to-delay strategy because he has not taken any of the necessary steps to lead the nation into the war he once seemed ready to join.” Just hours later, U.S. B-2 bombers would strike three of Iran’s nuclear sites with 30,000 pound bunker buster bombs on Trump’s orders.

David Frum is the dumbest and most clueless opinionator on the planet.

The irony is that we need knee-jerk jerks like this to help perpetuate the deception when President Trump is conducting a clandestine military operation.

Keep it up, David. Do your part to help convince our enemies that our president is feckless and indecisive and chickens out.

Kinda like John Bolton being interviewed by Dan Abrams, said Israel would attack Iran, not imminently, but probably within the next 60 days.

They attacked that night!

another one who just made a colossal fool of herself [AGAIN], posting this on her X account hours before the ceasefire announcement:

Marjorie Taylor Greene:

https://x.com/mtgreenee/status/1937158839821897884

I spent millions of my own money and TRAVELED THE ENTIRE COUNTRY campaigning for President Trump and his MAGA agenda and his promises.

And Trump’s MAGA agenda included these key promises:

NO MORE FOREIGN WARS.

NO MORE REGIME CHANGE.

WORLD PEACE.

And THIS is what the people voted for.

Only 6 months in and we are back into foreign wars, regime change, and world war 3.

It feels like a complete bait and switch to please the neocons, warmongers, military industrial complex contracts, and neocon tv personalities that MAGA hates and who were NEVER TRUMPERS!

After the bombs were dropped, we were told “complete success” and Iran’s nuclear capabilities were totally wiped out.

Then it quickly turned to Iran’s nuclear facilities “partially damaged” and now it’s “we don’t know where their enriched uranium is.”

Let me be very clear.

My children are 22, 25, and 27.

I will literally fight ANYONE for their future.

And their future and their entire generation’s future MUST be free of America LAST foreign wars that provoke terrorists attacks on our homeland, military drafts, and NUCLEAR WAR.

I am FIGHTING for them to have a future where they can afford to buy a home, afford insurance, invest for retirement, enjoy life, retain their God given freedoms, afford to raise a family under their Christian faith, not be in debt, safety and security, AND NOT HAVE OUR OWN TAX PAYER FUNDED GOVERNMENT DESTROY IT ALL.

Contrary to brainwashed Democrat boomers think and protest about, Trump is not a king, MAGA is not a cult, and I can and DO have my own opinion.
