United States President Donald Trump has denied being dragged into war with Iran by Israel as he faces increasing criticism over the conflict, including from segments of his own base.

    Mossad Agent Epstein never gave Netanyahu any proof of my pedophile rapes, and all of the Zionist money funding my election to “finish the job” of genocide, helps me understand that everything bibi ever says is always true, and so no bibi didn’t force me into war, only demonic Zionist supremacism as the truth, did. The dotard, is incapable of admitting that he failed to see through bibi lies that 5 previous presidents (1 of them him) had enough qualified advisers to not do stupid.

    No. They manipulated him into it. Trump is rather thick after all and easily sells his love and trust for shiny trinkets.

    Translation: Netanyahu talked Trump into it, but Trump was too stupid to know he’d been played.

      In all fairness, “This is false, Trump is lying” is by far the most likely thing when he says anything that makes him look better (or at least less bad).

      IMHO the most likely scenarion is that Trump was played by Netanyahu, later figured it out or was told that he had been played and now is lying about not having been played in the first place.

        Why assuming he was played? The action the administration took to make this happen was too extreme to say “he was played”

        The money all the rich made with market manipulation doesn’t indicate he was played.

        Everything point at him and his groups to be actively benefiting from this situation.

          He’s a psychologically sick guy with a profound Narcisist complex whose constantly harping about how he’s great at everything.

          People who believe themselves better than everybody else and hence would never fall for a scam are some of the best marks around for scammers.

          So it seems like a reasonable explanation that he got swindled into doing something which superficially looked like a win - especially in light of the recent similar “win” in Venezuela - but had secondary effects which turned it into a defeat.

          Mind you, I’m not “assuming” jack shit, I’m just putting forward what I think is a likely explanation.

    So it was not about alliances? You just started a war unilaterally, because you had a bad day.

    This guy is begging to be impeached.

      He could nuke Iran, kidnap refugees, and personally execute them on live television without getting impeached. There is no mechanism to really threaten him.

      I think Israel didn’t bother to ‘talk’, they just Leeroy Jenkinsed it up and the military decided they had to ride or die with it…

    It must be exhausting to be Trump. Netanjahu calls you to do X, but then Putin calls you to do the opposite of X, so the Netanjahu calls you again and you do X again and the cycle continues…
