Trump wants the expanded powers of POTUS that comes with being a wartime president, as well as a wartime budget, but he needs Congress to declare war…so what does he do?
He pulls out of an agreement that restricted Iran from enriching uranium, then threatens to attack them for enriching uranium. Unexpectedly, Iran takes the high road and goes to the UN over the threats. Since Iran won’t attack, Trump gets Israel to attack Iran. Now, Trump is allowed to attack Iran under the false pretense of protecting an ally, which circumvents congressional approval. He posts a message claiming peace, knowing full well that Iran will retaliate, and Congress will subsequently declare war.
Trump gets everything he wants- expanded powers, and a big budget to hide his reckless overspending, while calling it the defense of an allied nation.
The only thing I have a gripe with about this, Trump doesn't have the mental faculties to plan something like this, so who's really pulling the strings here?
The same think tank that made the project 2025 blueprint he's following.
The military industrial complex, JD Vance is Peter Thiel's pet.
Miller probably.
Unlikely, since it doesn't involve harassing and torturing immigrants.
True true.
But you forgot that it does involve bombing Muslims.
No need to make it as complicated as religion
Peter Thiel and friends. The guys pulling Vance's strings waiting.
The Netanyahu ass kissing cabal. So most republicans in politics.
Stephen Miller and the other inhuman cancers on his cabinet
Key point. Yes, he's the focus right now, but there's people in the background influencing him as well as people just following orders from him. Lots of guilty people, not just one.
Congress "declaring war" is a relic of the past. Every conflict since WWII has been unilaterally decided by the executive.
He needs them to declare war to give him the fat budget and more executive power. I’m sure the Republican-controlled majority won’t have a problem with it. They’ve been foaming at the mouth for a hot war with Iran since the 80s.
The budget is at wartime levels already though.
A declaration of war comes with an additional wartime budget that will add to the national debt.
