One can raise various criticisms of the JCPOA that Trump tore up if you want to, but tearing it up in his first term clearly put the country on trajectory for war with Iran ā avoiding that outcome was the purpose of the agreement.

This is always one of the reddest of herrings: "We can't ever win Trump voters." Yes, if you mean "MAGA cultists." But independents, Latinos, even young men - all are defecting from Trump in droves. You only need to peel off a few of them.

So the shotgun was never fired, apparently. The indictment is a lie. And three days later they still wonāt say how the Secret Service officer was shot. (But they did indict Comey for his seashells.) Trust much?

Keep coming back to Trump saying how when he was hustled offstage he wanted to stay and see - he stressed that desire to watch what was happening on 60 minutes ā it excited him, the violent chaos, he didnāt want to miss a second, like it turned him on, gave him a rush.
