I recall earlier this morning some people insisting Trump is very unpopular now because of Iran. I just can't seem to find that though, silly me.

Who would’ve thought that doing the right thing so consistently would make you popular?

Trump defends his decision to strike Iran, as new NBC News polling shows
a majority of US voters disapprove of the President’s handling of the situation.

Disapproval comes as a senior US official confirms details of a phone call Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made to Trump before the strikes ......seen as Netanyahu co-opting Trump by calculatedly omitting important attack details Israel knew would dissuade the trusting Trump.

Ohh, well if NBC says it, then it must be true LOL, seriously?

All you have is an assertion. I linked to a story with data, least you can do is try to have soke kind of facts / data.

Your rabid antisemitism is showing. Your hatred of Israel drives you to wanting to see America weakened so long as it means hurting Israel. That is offensive.

How Trump Decided to Go to War

nyt.com
Anna Rose Layden for The New York Times
3/2/26

President Trump’s embrace of military action in Iran was spurred by Netanyahu’s determination to end diplomatic negotiations.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel walked into the Oval Office on the morning of Feb. 11, determined to keep the American president on the path to war.

For weeks, the United States and Israel had been secretly discussing a military offensive against Iran. But Trump administration officials had recently begun negotiating with the Iranians over the future of their nuclear program, and the Israeli leader wanted to make sure that the new diplomatic effort did not undermine the plans.

Over nearly three hours, the two leaders discussed the prospects of war and even possible dates for an attack, as well as the possibility — however unlikely — that President Trump might be able to reach a deal with Iran.

Days later, the U.S. president made clear publicly that he was skeptical of the diplomatic route, dismissing the history of negotiating with Iran as merely years of “talking and talking and talking.” Trump said it “seems like that would be the best thing that could happen.”

Two weeks later, the president took the United States to war. He authorized a vast military bombardment in conjunction with Israel that swiftly killed the country’s supreme leader, pummeled Iranian civilian buildings and military nuclear sites, thrust the country into chaos and triggered violence across the region, leading to the deaths so far of six U.S. troops and scores of Iranian civilians. Mr. Trump has said more American casualties are likely as the United States digs in for an assault that could last weeks.

In public, Mr. Trump appeared to take a circuitous path to military action, alternating between saying that he wanted to strike a deal with Iran’s government and that he wanted to topple it. He made little effort to try to convince the American public that a war was necessary now. And the limited case he and his aides made included false claims about the imminence of the threat that Iran posed to the United States.

But behind the scenes, his move toward war grew inexorably, fueled by allies like Mr. Netanyahu who pushed the president to strike a decisive blow against Iran’s theocratic government; and by Mr. Trump’s own confidence after the successful U.S. operation that toppled the Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro.

This reconstruction of Mr. Trump’s decision to launch a sustained attack against Iran is based on the accounts of people with direct knowledge of the deliberations, as well as those on all sides of the debate, including diplomats from the region, Israeli and American administration officials, the president’s advisers, congressional lawmakers and defense and intelligence officials. Almost all spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe sensitive discussions and operational details.

The U.S. decision to strike Iran was a victory for Mr. Netanyahu, who had been pushing Mr. Trump for months on the need to hit what he argued was a weakened regime. During a meeting at Mr. Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in December, Mr. Netanyahu had asked for the president’s approval for Israel to hit Iran’s missile sites in the coming months. Two months later, he got something even better: a full partner in a war to topple the Iranian leadership.

Start with this “seen as Netanyahu co-opting Trump “ and then go back and look at her past posts, she is as antisemitic as they come, most her posts always drag back to Israel as the great evil.

She reframes most threads / posts to some Jewish Conspriacy

Trump has done things. He has led. He communicates a lot with us and the media. One can argue individual initiatives but he’s exciting, and none of his initiatives have proven yet to be failures.

I do believe people give an actual leader a wide amount of discretion until such a leader starts failing significantly.

Trump so far has not.

We’re getting posters so stupid they can’t tell the difference between
providing information——the raison d’etre for FR...... and proselytizing.

When you stop posting heavily biased assertions from them LSM pretending they are fact, always with a very specific bias, maybe you won’t be seen as proselytizing so much.

Not much one can do with hollow-headed America haters who believe they have valid opinions.
