Once again, an innocent person would welcome being exonerated by their release. So why is Trump &#8211; and his MAGA minions in Congress &#8211; so adamant about keeping them sealed?<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE THIS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=68084\" target=\"_blank\">Why Won\u2019t Republicans Release the Epstein Files That They Keep Insisting Will Exonerate Trump?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>On Monday morning Trump held a press avail to lie about something or other. It hardly matters anymore what excuse he gives for these public appearance, because he just swerves off topic to whine about whatever is irking him at the moment.<\/p>\n<p>During this event Trump was confronted by a question that stirred his typical state of cognitive confusion and inability to respond coherently. The question was asked by a female reporter, Libbey Dean of NewsNation, a right-leaning network. Nevertheless, because it&#8217;s in his nature, Trump insulted her&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Dean:<\/strong> Have you ruled out using a nuclear weapon on Iran?<br \/>\n<strong>Trump:<\/strong> I would never say that but the answer is yes. There is no reason for it. What a stupid question. They\u2019re totally defeated and now I should use a nuclear weapon on them?

But his answer is another example of just how mentally deficient he is. Notice that he began by saying that he <em>&#8220;would never say that.&#8221;<\/em> Then he immediately added that <em>&#8220;the answer is yes.&#8221;<\/em> So he actually did answer a question that he just said he would never answer. And he has the gall to call Dean &#8211; or anyone else &#8211; stupid?<\/p>\n<p>That, however, isn&#8217;t where his stupidity ends. The rest of his reply was to say that there is no need to use a nuclear weapon on Iran because they are already defeated. Which will come as shock to Iran (who still controls the Strait of Hormuz and are retaliating militarily), the American people (who are still suffering economically, and whose family members are still deployed), and the world (whose access to oil, and the plethora of products that rely on it, remains obstructed).<\/p>\n<p>Trump&#8217;s reply is also rather idiotic considering that he is now in the sixth month of this war with no end in sight. And he keeps saying that Iran is defeated and has no ability to fight back. Trump <em>&#8220;brags&#8221;<\/em> that they have no army, no navy, no air force, no money, and no leadership. So then why can&#8217;t he defeat them after all these months? That doesn&#8217;t seem like something to brag about. He&#8217;s like a cat that&#8217;s too dumb to catch a dead mouse.<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed-x\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">TRUMP: &quot;Iran is officially a Failed Nation.
