LtCOL. Karen Kwiatkowski : Trump Afraid of the Truth

Trump threatened to bomb Oman, a U.S. ally mediating the Iran-U.S. war, and repeated the threat on Fox News.

Trump operates in an imaginary world, and his administration either cannot control his mouth or permits the chaos to obscure other failures.

Iran and other foreign intelligence organizations view Trump's statements as irrelevant and irrational, and Iran will wait for the next U.S. president.

The administration has lied continuously about the war's progress, falsely claiming victory and Iranian surrender while objectives remain unmet.

The U.S. has been lied into wars for decades, and the current deception is costing the country in ways that are hard to imagine.

Trump hid in a catering truck after believing bad Israeli intelligence, leaving others on the plane as targets, despite having many safer presidential options.

The U.S. has ceded Middle East human intelligence to Mossad, making presidential reliance on Israeli assessments institutional and hard to reverse.

Trump is a sociopath who willingly gambled with others' lives and shows no empathy, reflecting a mafia-like state structure.

Trump could have warned people and removed them from the flight but chose to accept the risk, showing he does not care about those on board.

The administration looks venal and fearful, and Trump is mocking the constitutional system and the American people.

Americans should accept higher gas prices to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, and Trump will not apologize for the policy.

Trump is mocking the Constitution by waging an undeclared war and refusing to admit that the war caused the gas and food price increases.

The primary goal of the war is to keep oil and gas cheap for Americans, with preventing an Iranian nuclear weapon as the second goal.

Vance is performing damage control in an ahistorical administration, and the war itself caused high prices by disrupting diesel and food transport.

Trump bases decisions on personal loyalty to Netanyahu despite intelligence contradicting the nuclear threat, and follows Roy Cohn's playbook of lying and claiming victory.
