Trump, 79, Posts Crazed 4 AM Rant Right After Starting War [View all]

Donald Trump went straight to his most treasured—and bogus—grievances about the 2020 election immediately after starting a war with Iran in the middle of the night.

In a Truth Social post at 4:44 a.m., the 79-year-old president shared an article from JustTheNews detailing how Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis was urged by former President Joe Biden’s Justice Department to apply for a lucrative grant while she was investigating Trump’s attempt to overturn Georgia’s 2020 election results.

Trump felt it necessary to share this information with his supporters just a couple of hours after he posted an eight-minute video confirming that the U.S. and Israel have joined forces to attack Iran.

In a message to the American people for which he did not even wear a tie, the apparent “Peace President” Trump confirmed that the U.S. had launched “major combat operations” in Iran after months of pressuring Tehran to accept a new nuclear deal.

Trump also admitted that the war, which has not been approved by Congress and has little support from voters, will mean that “lives of courageous American heroes may be lost, and we may have casualties.”

“That often happens in war,” Trump added.

Anyone think this action makes this country safer?
