Trump didn't even try to make a case for war with Iran https://share.google/WU8cjciAjG6QaUIPC The U.S. has attacked Iran again, and the president has shown complete indifference to getting buy-in from Congress or Americans.we’ve never had a situation like the one we have today with Iran. Trump isn’t even pretending to try to make the case for war. If anything, this is the imperial presidency on steroids — as Trump decides to go to war with zero input from Congress (no congressional hearings) and zero effort to rally public opinion. It is yet another reminder of how disconnected Trump is not just from public opinion, but from the basic elements of democratic governance. Trump seems to believe that he can do whatever he wants, both at home and abroad, without even the fig leaf of democratic consent.How can Americans assess the worthiness of going to war with Iran if the president cannot articulate a clear political and military objective or talk about how the use of force is in the country’s national interest? the most bizarre part of the approximately three minutes that Trump spent talking about Iran was the president’s claim that Tehran wants to make a deal, “but we haven’t heard those secret words, ‘We will never have a nuclear weapon.’” Iranian officials have repeatedly said that they have no intention of building a nuclear weapon. After Trump’s speech, the country’s foreign minister said it again.Trump had the same opportunity as Bush did to make the case for war at the State of the Union this week
