We're going to end up spending millions and billions of dollars on these weapon systems.
And we'll come up with a decision why we went there later.
And by the way, to pay for all this, we're probably going to end up cutting more Medicaid and more food stamps.
Good luck, right?
They don't even give us that respect.
Yeah, I would agree that there is some conspiracy theories that this is him going to use this to stop elections.
I actually don't think that that is his rationale for doing this.
His rationale for doing this is because his domestic policy is so messed up and he's so underwater.
The only things he has seen success at has been, you know,
essentially engaging in war, right?
So if you think about the first 12-day war with Iran, it's a good example.
Then you have the operation in Venezuela.
Both went fairly well in terms of our perspective as Americans.
Luckily, no Americans were killed in either one.
And when elected officials, especially presidents, see that they're failing, they try to find other places that they could somehow
do better and thinking that that somehow is going to help them out the only thing that he never quite realized is that the american public is sick of foreign adventures they're sick of of wars and it doesn't matter even if a war goes well right like like you know i could honestly say i think that the again i was against it but the operation went well from a tactical level people were still against it right and now you're seeing the same thing here people are against this even though you know
It's so far has not gone as bad like without, of course, you know, let's not forget the six men and women that have died so far and those that are injured.
But that's where this is all heading.
He's desperately trying to figure out how to control or change the narrative of his office when the real thing he could do right away is get rid of tariffs.
But that would mean that he had to go against, you know, 40 years of messaging that he's been talking about, which is the fact that tariffs fix everything.
