Bret Baier: Trump 'does not get credit when things go right'
The Washington Examiner ^ | January 8, 2020 | Dominick Mastrangelo

Fox News anchor Bret Baier marveled at the responses from critics of President Trump who are hesitant to approve of his strategy on Iran.

"You wonder whether Trump Derangement Syndrome factors in to some of the responses you hear publicly in Washington," Baier said Wednesday.

"Trump Derangement Syndrome" is a label defenders of the president use as a pejorative to describe liberals or others who oppose Trump in anything he does or says.

Baier (regarded nationally) as one of Fox News's fairest journalists on staff, praised Trump for not attacking Iran after the country launched missile strikes on a series of U.S. air bases in Iraq on Tuesday.

I think it was. Iran traded away its natural right to wage war in favor of security against our natural right to wage war.

It was the best decision they’ve made in a long long time. And they are unlikely to ever get this chance again, so they won’t give it up so easy.

I wonder if Chris Wallace will be offended by what Bair said.

All they did was come up with a face saving way to back down from the current confrontation. That’s all. They specifically committed to continuing their past policies and behavior.

That Baiers repeating.

“””””””””Ended 40 years of war with Iran with a single shot. Gets no credit.”

He should get credit for what happened, but it wasn’t the end of 40 years of war. “”””””””””””””””””””

You can never truly end a war with people who have done nothing but fight for centuries.

I’m embarrassed to say that I supported both McCain and Romney. of course as a boy stuffed envelopes for George McGovern, some things change, right?

Just ask the kid in those pictures with the velour shirt, corduroy pants, and feathered back hair. About the only thing that’s still cool from back then was ELO.

But you’re right. God has sent us an imperfect instrument had a crucial time in history. And by golly, that hammer can hammer some nails!

Huh, Fox News anchor Bret Baier is usually a reliable anti Trumper.

I love President Trump but in this case he did the Establishment’s bidding by not slamming Iran so the organ grinders are petting the monkey.
