Hopefully Trump is not going to be manipulated this easily.

War with Iran does not fit in with "Make America Great Again"

However, we don't want Iran with the Bomb, either.

They held Trump back his first term by infiltrating his cabinet and constantly giving him bad advice.

They want to run that play again, but they gotta get the good ones out first this go around, by trickery and slander or otherwise.

It confuses me a little why the infinity-war demons would be so hellfire and brimstone against Hegseth. I mean, isn't he moving heaven and earth to restore America's capabilities to win the eternity wars? Isn't it true, even though the year isn't half out, all the armed services are meeting their recruitment goals, and some expect to double those goals? So much potential cannon fodder hasn't been amassed (all voluntary) at this rate in decades. Maybe what gets the devils' goat is that he wants to fire some fat generals, and replace them with officers of more Gironda-like physique?

There's an old English saying about "one rotten apple spoiling the barrel." The Trump administration has at least two that I know of, Waltz and Rubio, not to mention the effects that Kellog is having, he's only an advisor, but he's a Neocon and that makes him an enemy and tool of the DS, as per the other two.

The old French saying of "keep your friends close and enemies closer still." May indeed be the case of what Trump is doing, or not? A case of "better the devils that you know, than the ones that you don't." However, considering the accomplished, subversive and divisive nature of such people they pose a real risk of derailing Trump's second and last term and the whole MAGA movement and the long overdue reforms that's needed to save America from 5th columnists, quislings and traitors embedded deeply at all levels of the DS and various institutions. I wish him and America luck, your going to need it, as are we all. Where America leads the West eventually follows, for better or worse.

Yeah, no doubt. They loved Hegseth when the only data they had was him promoting bombing Iranian cultural sites on Fox & Friends the morning after Soleimani or his weird red heifer fantasies. Now that he spoke up against war with Iran on one occasion, they can’t stand him being there, even with the ongoing pummeling of Yemen…

This entire term’s success depends on these people not getting their way on Iran. It will destroy everything. All of the MAGA movement’s money and energy will have been diverted into the Greater Israel project, and America will be Less Again.

America First, not Israel Instead.

Hard to tell how dumb Trump is sometimes. His Christian Zionist prayer lady & support for mRNA vax are two examples of stupid.
