Original Times interview quote:
Asked whether Americans should be worried about retaliatory attacks at home, Trump acknowledges the possibility. “I guess,” he says. “But I think they’re worried about that all the time. We think about it all the time. We plan for it. But yeah, you know, we expect some things. Like I said, some people will die. When you go to war, some people will die."
Said it before, but I don’t believe for a second this wasn’t discussed during his private, illegal meeting with Netanyahu.
Think he’ll fake an Iran attack on US soil right before the midterms to justify whipping out the insurrection act or whatever new “Big Beautiful Tank Bill” he comes up with?
I’d honestly be more surprised if he didn’t try something along those lines.
He needs another 9/11 to justify more authoritarianism without pushback.
I’m pretty sure they let 9/11 happen too. Bush administration did a good job of sweeping it under the rug. This country in general has perfected the art of playing victim by metaphorically poking the neighbor’s dog with a stick so it can point to the dog bite when the cops show up to a dead dog and a pissed off neighbor.
Isreal does it pretty well too apparently.
Oh yeah. Just like Pearl Harbor. Just need an excuse to get people behind a war.
More like allow it to happen. Whatever IT is.
