President Trump rejected rightwing pundit Tucker Carlson’s criticism that he is abandoning America First principles with his support for Israel amid its military campaign against Iran.
Carlson, an ardent Trump ally, fumed at Israel’s preemptive strike on Iran last week, dubbing the US “complicit in the act of war” and arguing that, “politicians purporting to be America First can’t now credibly turn around and say they had nothing to do with it.”
Trump said he wasn’t familiar with Carlson’s critique but contended that, as a pioneer of the modern America First movement, he’s the final arbiter of what it means to put the US first.
“Well, considering that I’m the one that developed ‘America First,’ and considering that the term wasn’t used until I came along, I think I’m the one that decides that,” Trump told The Atlantic in response.
“For those people who say they want peace—you can’t have peace if Iran has a nuclear weapon. So for all of those wonderful people who don’t want to do anything about Iran having a nuclear weapon—that’s not peace.”

Hardly. But I can spot a troll a mile away.
Go back to the DU or St Petersburg.

Wow!! I am crushed, scarred.
Which one of my arguments was fake?

He was talking about illegals, who aren’t here seasonally.
Take your poor level of understanding, whether intentional or otherwise, off of this thread.

Thank you.
Being called names by someone who opposes Israel defending itself against Iran is the highest compliment. Iran has repeatedly attacked the USA, Israel, and other countries, spreading death and tyranny all over the world. It seeks nuclear weapons and repeatedly states its intent to kill everyone in the USA.
I, for one, take people who state their intent to kill me seriously, and am pleased someone is finally acting accordingly.
I wasn’t complaining about Israel defending itself (though Bibi has been lying about Iran’s imminent nuclear capability for decades).
I am complaining as loudly as I can about Trump getting the US dragged into it by lying Bibi.
Sure
So if North Korea renames itself as North Israel?

Your comment makes no sense. Are you under the bizarre impression that God can be deceived?
No, but he unfortunately has idiotic readers who are not very good at understanding what He has written.
Well, that’s certainly true.
