So the question for your MAGA friends, family and coworkers is this: was he lying then -- or is he lying now?

From an article by John Fuglesang:

And the reason? Iran’s nuclear program. The one that Trump “obliterated,” a few months ago.

Can we still remember that?

Last year, after sending in B-2 bombers, Trump declared Iran’s nuclear program was “totally obliterated.”

Totally obliterated. Vaporized. Gone. Like his promises of infrastructure, or a health care plan.

So the question for your MAGA friends, family and coworkers is this: was he lying then — or is he lying now?

Because if it was obliterated, why did we mobilize half the Navy and attack?

And if it wasn’t obliterated, why was he strutting around like he personally Thanos-snapped Iran’s uranium?

Friends, we’ve gotten used to bullshit lies for war in the Middle East, but this is Schrödinger’s nuke program: It both exists and doesn’t exist, depending on what cable show he was watching that morning.

He's lying. Then and now. If his mouth is open or his thumbs are moving, he's lying.
