The Real Reason Behind Trump's New War

from Hope For America with Heather Delaney Reese

Trump returned from Florida to the White House where reporters pressed him about three American service members killed in his Iran strikes, but he refused to answer a single question, instead directing the press pool to admire new statues in the Rose Garden. In just 48 hours, "Operation Epic Fury" has spread across the Gulf, drawn in Hezbollah, disrupted the Strait of Hormuz, and struck NATO-allied territory in Cyprus, while the President managed the war from a makeshift command center at Mar-a-Lago. With only 27% of Americans approving of the strikes and Congress never consulted, the unchecked expansion from Venezuela to Iran to Cuba reveals a pattern of unconstitutional military action driven by personal ambition rather than strategy.The Breakdown:Three American service members killed and five wounded in the first 48 hours of Operation Epic Fury, with the President refusing to address their families when confronted by reportersThe war has rapidly expanded beyond Iran to involve Hezbollah, the Strait of Hormuz, Israel, Lebanon, and a British military base in CyprusTrump bypassed Congress entirely, never seeking authorization under the War Powers Act for strikes on Iran, following the same unconstitutional pattern used in VenezuelaMarco Rubio is personally leading Cuba negotiations, with Trump already publicly floating a "friendly takeover" before the Iran war even beganA Reuters/Ipsos poll shows only 27% of Americans approve of the strikes, compared to 92% for Afghanistan and 71% for Iraq, with 31% of Republicans saying they are "not sure"Each new military escalation serves as a distraction from the Epstein files and other accountability efforts, making it critical to hold multiple issues at onceWelcome to my brand new YouTube channel!
