“First of all, I didn’t guarantee no war. Why would I have built the strongest military in the world?” Trump said. “I built our military. I inherited a terrible military. We had no equipment. We had nothing. I built a tremendous military. When you say I promised, I didn’t promise anything.”
Trump said he doesn’t like “endless wars” but added that the current conflict with Iran “is not an endless war,” asserting that the Vietnam War lasted for 19 years “because of stupid people.”
While campaigning in Pennsylvania in 2024, Trump told rallygoers: “I will not send you to fight and die in stupid foreign wars that never end.” He reiterated the promise in his 2024 victory speech, stating at the time: “I’m not going to start a war. I’m going to stop wars.”
And Trump’s official White House biography also states that one of the president’s top priorities is “putting a stop to endless wars.”
Trump on Sunday denied that the U.S. is at war with Iran, telling Welker he does not “consider” the current situation a war.
Iran has been attacking the US for decades but sure, Trump started the war.
ReplyDeleteTrump has never made that claim!
DeleteI didn't say he did. He said he wouldn't start wars. Iran has been at war with the US for decades. He just made a bad attempt to end it.
DeleteGaqrnel your apologetics are getting worse. The war with Iran was an attempt to end a war?!
DeleteFor trump, the aim was to end their nuclear ambitions.
DeleteIsrael wants to topple the regime.
