What kind of dumbass critics are still “baffled” by this?
Trump and his gang of fascist clowns don’t give the slightest flying fuck whether anything they say is true, smart, logically sound, well-advised, or anything even remotely resembling any of those virtues. All they care about is whether their verbal diarrhea seems advantageous to them in the moment, and damn any longer-term consequences.
This has been completely fucking obvious to literally everybody with two brain cells to rub together for damn near a decade, at this point.
The Iran War is both almost completely finished and barely getting started. Makes so much sense 💁♂️
For real. The media is always “baffled” by shit like this when it’s clear that they don’t even care about basic logical consistency. They always say whatever is most useful to them in that precise moment. It’s not about ideology, it’s all about self aggrandizing and blame pushing.
She’s just saying whatever Trump wants said, and what Trump wants said is whatever will make him look good and/or make his critics look bad
Truth and accuracy don’t even enter into it (and I’m reasonably convinced that Trump sincerely doesn’t even grasp those concepts).
As a delusional narcissist, Trump’s reality is whatever flatters his ego, and everybody who works for him has to reflect that make-believe reality or be treated as a traitor.
It’s basically The Emperor’s New Clothes on a much larger scale.
