37. Trump can't answer the most basic question: "Why?"
Sat Feb 28, 2026, 11:38 AM
18 hrs ago

Ultimately, there are two reasons that dwarf all the others.

1) Netanyahu wants to do regime change and Trump wants to stay close to Bibi so Trump will get the best properties in Gaza.

2) Epstein, Epstein, Epstein.

What it is NOT about is Iran's nukes. Oman had negotiated an agreement but Thursday whereby Iran agreed to no uranium enrichment for several years and to have any already-enriched stocks taken out of Iran.

If this were about the safety of Americans and allies (do we still have allies?), Trump would have taken that deal and claimed the 10th war he has stopped.
