There’s always a tweet — or six or seven

In order to get elected,Trump picked up the warning again with a pair of tweets in October 2012, in the heat of that year’s presidential campaign:

Now that Obama’s poll numbers are in tailspin – watch for him to launch a strike in Libya or Iran. He is desperate.Don't let Obama play the Iran card in order to start a war in order to get elected–be careful Republicans!Despite Obama being re-elected, soundly defeating Mitt Romney, without a conflict in the Persian Gulf, Trump did not let go of his theory that the commander in chief would use his war powers against Iran for political gain:— Donald J. Trump — Donald J.

Remember that I predicted a long time ago that President Obama will attack Iran because of his inability to negotiate properly-not skilled!Here we sit now, as a nation, some five years later. Trump has ripped up the Iran nuclear deal that Obama negotiated. And he has assassinated an Iranian commander — threatening to spark another war in the Middle-East — just as Trump’s own reelection prospects look dim.
