When Donald Trump was running to reoccupy the White House in 2024, he made his promise not to start any new wars a key component of his campaign. He folded it into his otherwise vacant sloganeering to put “America First.”<\/em> Which, by the way, was a slogan that he stole from early 20th century American fascists.<\/p>\n

\"Donald<\/p>\n

Undeterred by his own campaign pledge, Trump has now started a new war with Iran. He launched his war without seeking the consent of Congress, which he is required to do under Article I, Section 8, Clause 11 of the Constitution<\/a><\/strong>. You know, that legal thingy that Trump prefers to ignore. He also failed to provide any rational justification for the military action, other than a dubious claim of “imminent threat”<\/em> for which he offered no factual basis. Not that he ever cared about facts for anything.<\/p>\n

After already deploying airstrikes on Iranian targets, Trump posted a staged video on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social, wherein he sought to explain why he broke the law and declared war on Iran. However, his explanation was a far cry from anything that could be described as coherent, or reasonable. Rather, it was an eight minute long rant about Iran being evil and his gloriousness in massacring a lot of innocent Iranians to achieve his tyrannical ends.<\/p>\n

It wasn’t until many hours later that he provided what appears to be his real motivation for the warmongering. It came in another Truth Social posting<\/a><\/strong> that linked to an article in the far right Internet rag, “Just the News,”<\/em> with the headline “Iran tried to interfere in 2020, 2024 elections to stop Trump, and now faces renewed war with United States.”<\/em><\/p>\n

After bombing Iran without any justification or explanation to the American people – or the world – Trump posts this lie as his reason for doing it…<\/p>\n
