Donald Trump Twitter post from 2019
@realDonaldTrump (official) ^ | Oct 9, 2019 | Donald Trump

Posted on 04/04/2026 1:01:53 AM PDT by Mount Athos

The United States has spent EIGHT TRILLION DOLLARS fighting and policing in the Middle East.

Thousands of our Great Soldiers have died or been badly wounded.

Millions of people have died on the other side.

GOING INTO THE MIDDLE EAST IS THE WORST DECISION EVER MADE.....

out of context

he was obviously commenting on the results produced when you do it as the several presidents who preceded him did it.

Why do you think his tactics are so different now?

He learned from the others mistakes.

This is a full, unedited posting from his official twitter account.

This video statement from Trump gives additional context:

Don’t you just love the trolls that purposefully take something out of context in their drive to separate the MAGA crowd from President Trump?

funding for the Fiscal Year 2027 budget, the foundation for military spending leading into 2029.

Indeed

I sometimes think FR disinformation is a special project of various organizations

That they think we will fall for it tells you a lot about them

I bet they said nothing over the seven countries Obama bombed in the middle east. or the Trillions of tax dollars Biden and his goons sent to UKRAINE. These folks only gripe because it’s Trump. They are brainwashed to do it. Support their country if we are at war, NAAAAA. Un-American human beings.

There's an old Vulcan saying: "Only Trump could bomb Iran."

How is a complete, unedited twitter post from Donald Trump’s official Twitter account “disinformation’?

Is this video of Trump speaking in his own words also “disinformation”?

Iran has been at war against the U.S. ever since the Islamic regime was installed by Jimmy Carter in 1979. Now is our best chance to end the war — before the inevitable escalation, and perhaps saving millions of lives.

Actually it is the exact opposite of what you think.

I completely 100% agree with and support both trump statements I posted. Do you also?

All I know is Bill Gates and Klaus Schwab and Larry Fink and Albert Bourla et al had the hollow eyed look of men who knew their Great Reset dreams were over and they were headed for the gallows before Iran, and now they are giddy with unrestrained glee.

“out of context”

Yes it was completely, it was the Carter years that got Reagan elected. I still have the front page of The Detroit News, “Reagan Elected Hostages Go Free.”

Fair to blame Carter for the mess we see today, President Trump can’t flatten that hellhole enough.
