Trump’s Latest Denial

President Trump is flat-out denying reports that his top general warned him about the risks of striking Iran. It’s not like we haven’t seen this movie before – Trump’s got a history of shooting the messenger. The report claimed that the general told Trump that strikes on Iran could pose some serious risks, but Trump’s having none of it.

The Backstory

The whole thing started when reports surfaced that Trump’s military advisor had expressed some major concerns about the potential consequences of a strike on Iran. It’s pretty standard procedure for generals to warn about potential risks, but Trump won’t hear it. He’s too busy tweeting about how tough he is to listen to reason.

It’s ridiculous that we’re even having this conversation. The fact that Trump’s top general felt the need to warn him about the risks of a strike should be a major red flag. But hey, what do I know? Maybe Trump’s got a secret plan to make Iran just magically disappear.
