Our new book is The Comeback: The 2024 Elections and American Politics. The second Trump administration is off to an ominous start
This is a president who campaigned for years on ending American involvement in overseas wars; a man who, in 2011 and 2012, mockingly claimed then-President Barack Obama was about to start a war with Iran just to distract from his own failings. Only a couple of months ago, his own director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, said Iran is “not building a nuclear weapon.” And this is the self-styled “dealmaker-in-chief.” Is he really going to flip it all around with a Middle East bombing campaign
Q: "Tulsi Gabbard testified in March that the intelligence community said Iran wasn't building a nuclear weapon."
