Trump avoids word ‘war’ to describe Iran conflict ‘because you’re supposed to get approval’

Trump is falling apart. He looks and sounds miserable and tired. And he's worried about his low, *low* ratings.

...after already using the word, war, to describe it a hundred times. Lol

You aren’t “supposed to” get permission, it is **required** in the Consitution for Congress to authorize a war.

As always, the reactionaries that are the modern GOP inexplicably insist it is liberals that want to police/control definitions…

Push harder. Get no sleep. Stay in front of the cameras as much as possible. Just one more lie, and you can rest.

If they avoid using the word "impeachment" can they remove this clown without approval?

He's said war in regards to Iran like a hundred times over the last 3 weeks during press conferences, etc

We are a once-great nation being led by a mental toddler, and no one that has the ability will do anything about it. How goddamn far we've fallen.

They won't let me post this in politics because it doesn't violate any guidelines aside from being true..... but. Here goes. It's obvious what's happening in our country. The president and his family and cronies are enriching themselves while destroying our nation. This cannot stand any longer. Either we stop this now, or face the true end of our nation. Any branch not upholding the constitution, and failing to protect our countries soverenty needs to go. Every politician, senator, lobbyist, and corporation feeding into this needs to be dismantled or held accountable. They have committed treason against us, and we should hold them accountable.

Republicans, wake the f*** up…

Special military operation.

just gtfo already 

Kidnapping another country's president is a 'police action' Bombing the f*** out of a country, killing their leader as well as a school full of children is a 'military operation' War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength We have always been at war with Eastasia

Who gives a damn about semantics? For all intents and purposes it is a war. 

3 day special operation

Right. And the cheater's way around that is to call it something else and snark about it in public so there's no mistake -- you KNOW you're cheating and you don't care. The world's worst person.

Im almost proud of him for knowing that in a pathetic kinda way

Fallen American soldiers and thousands of dead Iranians are sure it's a war.

Everybody knows it’s a war.

You also don’t win the Nobel peace prize for starting multiple wars.

Bill Clinton quibbled over the meaning of "is." That was nothing compared to attorneys for Bush II redefining "torture." Naturally, the current president sinks to a lower level still.

Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf and Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi are negotiating a surrender

I'm sure he said that same line to friends when they asked if he's raped anyone.

I don’t know what happened when he went to Israel, but before he went, he really meant no more forever wars I know that for a fact, but the guy who came back that guy was scared. Before he went, he used to be cool with people being religious, but he himself was never a big believer but during the press conference when his helicopter landed and they asked him something about God he said “oh no God is definitely real”, which was weird because his face didn’t show excitement like I see most Christians have when they talk about God he had a look of fear. I’m just one guy who voted left all his life until the last election (personal reasons) and I wasn’t willing to vote for an evil person so I studied him. I had nothing better to do so I went down his rabbit hole (lol, but for real), and nowhere in any of those interviews did he make that same face where he looked terrified… ever since then I’m trying to figure out what could’ve possibly terrified him and I’m coming up clueless. Although do we have some sources if anybody else wants to look into who is apparently actual in control of our country some of them are actually CIA website link so I got you Pham but something fucked up happened and he went from being pro America and nobody else in fact, kicking out everyone who wasn’t American born to then going to Israel coming back, changing his entire tune, looking, terrified, and sending our American brothers and sisters (not to sound lame) out to go die for f****** Israel. Also, is it just me or was it only this year that suddenly Israel became America’s greatest ally because suddenly I hear all these people saying yeah Israel is America’s greatest ally but never once have I ever heard that in my entire 32 years of life until six months ago. How the f*** did that bleed into the psychiatric? Is this just some weird Mandela effect IDK but something fucked up happened and I guess I’m just posting on Reddit or on this random post hoping somebody else saw this f****** weird ass change of personality. I mean a lot of people thought he was racist, because he wanted to protect Americans from their own suicidal empathy feeling guilty about things they shouldn’t feel guilty about because they weren’t alive back then; but feeling guilty about that and trying to empower Americans into at least believing in America again, just like everybody did when we abolished slavery in all the other awesome stuff. We did sure we made mistakes, but we still try or at least we did before. My friends on the left decided to give up the freedom that their ancestors fought to attain for them, which is weird I digress I’m sorry this is a ramble if anybody takes the time to get through it I hope you understand I’m coming from a place of love and hope that the left and right could just go back to disagreeing on little things and not getting in almost civil wars about things we actually agree on, but somehow the media has made us think we’re on different sides. I don’t know. f*** it never mind sorry.
