President Trump downplayed the effect redistricting will have on the midterm elections and said the outcome of the Iran war will be a bigger factor.
“It helps. I mean, I don’t know [if it will be the] difference,” Trump said of how new congressional districts in several states will impact Republicans in November.
“I think a bigger difference would be if I win quickly [in Iran], as opposed to after [the elections], but again, I’m not going to let the election determine what’s going to happen with respect to Iran, because they cannot have a nuclear weapon,” he told Fox News “Special Report” host Bret Baier.

Finish them. If he doesn’t, he’s finished
Trump better his rear-end focused on America First and Not other countries first.
Yeah, no duh. Nobody likes paying the Iran War fee at the gas station. All the redistricting in the world ain’t going to save the GOP if this is still going in November.
So why is he dragging his feet on Iran?
God help us all. Redistricting is vital since racial Gerrymandering is one of the main means Dems have of pretty much stealing elections. The Iran war is very important but to brush aside concerns about redistricting is being short sighted.
Nobody is going to vote Republican because of the Iran war.
Republicans will sweep.
Iran or no Iran.
I think he wants to hand the country over to the correct people so the nation can stay intact. Blowing it all to bits is probably counter productive. No navy, diminishing missiles and blockades seem to work. Time for the people to rise up.
Trump knows that he has to finish the job in Iran.
Thus he will.
Then finish them
Because he knows many more Americans will die in this debacle and that there will be even more destruction to surrounding countries.
Neither is going to make anyone jump for joy. Dropping a bunch more bombs ain’t going to do it.
His options stink beause what he was told and thought would happen, did not.
Who knows, maybe he has sent arms to opposition.
Probably will as $5 gasoline is going to be a large factor, not just gasoline but the inflation it brings.
Is that supposed to be good news?
Yes ha has a plan.Have you noticed how many negative folks are posting tonight.
Who are the correct people, The Muslims in charge now who hate us or the other Muslims there who also hate us?
