As the war against Iran that Donald Trump chose to recklessly launch without consulting with Congress, as required by law, enters it’s fourth week, it is becoming ever more apparent that Trump couldn’t care less about his campaign promises to refrain from such foreign conflagrations that he refers to as a “little excursion.”

Trump initially claimed that his latest war would be short-lived and won without effort in a matter of hours. That has turned out to be just another steaming pile of bullpucky intended to pacify his glassy-eyed cult followers who feel betrayed, as well as his MAGA friendly media propagandists. With his approval ratings in the toilet, Trump is desperate to shift blame for his fiascoes onto those he thinks are the real enemies.

Now that Trump’s lies about Iran have become impossible to dismiss, his Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News, is joining the battle to rescue his floundering presidency. They are embarking on a campaign to emotionally prepare the nation for another disastrous war. And leading the way is the execrable Mark Levin, a weekend host who takes a backseat to no one on his Trump-fluffing prowess.

This weekend Levin doled out some military advice to Trump on his program that we know Trump watches religiously. In fact, Trump posted a comment on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, yesterday imploring his disciples to watch this particular program. It should be noted that Levin has never served in the military, so his ideas about military matters are just as useless as Trump’s. In his tediously long monologue, Levin yammered that…

“Troops on the ground. He said ‘No troops on the ground.’ I don’t remember that in any campaign speech either. Why would we need to troops on the ground? Well, there’s a lot of reasons. And we wouldn’t need 300,000 of them. It’s this uranium too. We’ve gotta get the uranium. If it cannot be destroyed, if it cannot be altered, we gotta get it. For the reason I just said. You can make dirty bombs and, over time you can still make sophisticated missiles. So you need to get to the uranium.

Levin’s claim that he doesn’t remember Trump promising not send send troops into foreign wars is either another flagrant lie, or evidence of acute cognitive impairment. It was a core feature of Trump’s campaign stump speeches. But in the Trump Cult everything can be the opposite of whatever it was before just by Trump saying so. For example, his promise to lower prices on day one; or swearing to offer a healthcare plan in two weeks; or pledging to release the Epstein files.

Levin went on to say that Trump isn’t “talking about sending the regular Army and infantry in by the hundreds of thousands.” Really? So he’s going to send in small units of specialized forces to capture hundreds of pounds of uranium and transport it securely out of the country, while battling Iranian troops? Sure. It’s a piece of (yellow) cake. And it surely wouldn’t risk contamination of populated areas in Iran or the U.S., if that were its destination.

That’s the ridiculous plan that Levin says is being proffered by Trump, who Levin also says is “a man with enormous intelligence, enormous common sense. He’s not an ideologue. He doesn’t run around with slogans.” Trump isn’t an ideologue? Seriously? And as for “running with slogans,” does “Make America great again,” or “drill, baby, drill,” or “lock her up,” or “fake news,” ring a bell?

The brazen dishonesty of Trump’s delusional public comments about the war can’t possibly help the mission, whatever that is. Trump simultaneously declares that the war was won in the first hour a month ago, but that he is still actively fighting it anyway. He’s putting Americans in harm’s way and seeking $200 billion in additional funding for an illegal war that the GOP led Congress hasn’t even been asked to debate or approve.

Despite failing to articulate a coherent objective or exit strategy, Trump flips back and forth between making wild threats of genocidal destruction, while also claiming to be in constructive peace talks. Never mind that every claim that Trump has made about negotiating with Iran has been denied by Iran.

In the meantime, Trump has been telegraphing his intention to deploy American troops on the ground in Iran. Which is a thoroughly boneheaded strategy that allows enemy forces to prepare for the invasion and inflict greater harm on U.S. soldiers. And Iran is talking full advantage of it. Their Parliament Speaker explicitly addressed it saying that Iran is “waiting for American soldiers to enter on the ground so they can set them ablaze and punish their regional partners forever.”

Levin is likely just the point man in the Fox News plot to reinforce Trump’s Iranian initiative. And he’s making it clear that the plan is to simply say that troops on the ground is a great idea that, contrary to contradicting everything Trump has said previously, he has actually been planning this all along. And somehow his devoted minions will recall these things precisely as Trump and Levin are saying them now. That’s the nature of a cult.
