  1. Maybe he knew that ultimately it would be revealed that the drone was in Iran’s airspace as was the P8.

    1. @john Barry yeah those 2 are trouble they need to be fired or in jail. Thank God the president didn’t fall for it

    2. Especially when some parts of thรฉ wrecked drone is in Iran’s possession. An undeniable proof.

  2. Part of being unconventional president this is one good example of that being sometimes a good thing! Give him credit

    1. Credit for what? Ordered a strike, then called off the strike? Wax on, wax off? ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

    2. Stephanie Tihanyi The devil would call off a strike to spare human lives? Huh…. thatโ€™s odd.

    3. Hassan Omar Credit for a problem he made? This is far from over. Let’s see the great deal maker make a fucking deal. He can’t con his way through this one, but I do hope he succeeds. I have my doubts.

    1. Yeah I caught that too…. that reach was kinda sad and pathetic… ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ

    2. @Stephanie Tihanyi This was a bait by the US Military, because they failed the attack on the Japanese oil tanker. So they sacrificed their drone by baiting Iranian Missile Defenses.

  3. I made a mistake putting you on….. CANT you do anything decent…. from the sounds of it that panel and you just wanted to see blood death…..YOU deserve to have your ratings tank……..

    ..

    1. @Alfie Fenton Don’t have to . Trump Jr admits to a crime. At least he doesn’t lie as much as your commander-in-cheat.

    2. Michayal Valder well if you watched seconds later it shows the part of the statement that cnn cut, proving that itโ€™s all lies and thereโ€™s no proof. All youโ€™ve done is made yourself look stupid

    1. @Little Shitstain LOL, I can see you know enough language to put the right moniker as your handle, LS.

    1. nah im good care to explain…
      Iran US relations were never good, so how is it all Trumps fault?

    2. nah im good He pulled out of the Iranian nuclear deal. If you think giving 150 billion dollars to our enemies is a good idea, then you are pretty stupid. Sorry, not sorry.

    3. Felipe Bernardes It was their frozen assets when the shaw was overthrown and they already got it. There was no logical reason to pull out after the deal was already done, especially without one to replace it. Not only does it hurt diplomatic credibility of the U.S., it sets up an excuse for war. Either Iran gets nuclear weapons or we bomb them. Only the stupid or the war Hawks think it was a good move.

  4. He’s not fully insane, wow that will give him a boost in the polls, good new campaign manager.. I’m worried

    1. NinjaPenguin1989 You Trumptards are funny. He reversed a bad decision he made under pressure. And you are praising him. You twist your brain too much. Bad for you health. Get help.

  5. Wow. He actually made a good decision. ๐Ÿ‘€. If I am going to rip him I may has well compliment him once in a while. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

  6. I donโ€™t like trump but this call I think was ๐Ÿ‘ great !!!
    Also fake news seem they want war for ratings!!

    1. The war is for the expansion of Israel and CNN are Zionists ( you can see that looking into their backgrounds ).

    1. @Libertarian Infidel Cadet bone-spurs ordered the strike in the first place you inbred imbecile! What a brain dead idiot you are so stop making moronic comments.

    1. @Michayal ValderYou moron all the media (CNN, MSNBC and the NYTimes in particular) areALL pushing for war

    2. @Joseph Mingle Tell Michael Flynn there were no Russians. He pleaded GUILTY to lying about meeting Russians Trumptard. The Trump tower meeting was with Russians, not Americans. You’re living in a Trumptard fantasy. Manafort did it to. I suppose the prison he is in is a hoax? Not!

  7. Liberals 2000: โ€œWar is bad!โ€
    Liberals 2019: โ€œWar is needed!โ€

    1. @A Walk In The Mind of M. T. Wood Roll back of laws limiting industrial pollution in air and waterways, roll back of consumer protection regulations so if your bank causes you harm you have a more difficult time taking them to court, backing out of the Paris Climate Accord and squandering our last best shot of slowing the impacts of climate change, backing out of the Iran nuclear agreement and now it’s has decided that it doesn’t need to honor the agreement, adding a trillion dollars to the deficit for a lifelong tax break for the super rich just a handful of the bad decisions that Trump has made.

    2. @A Walk In The Mind of M. T. Wood What about NAFTA? As for the low unemployment numbers, it’s because they’re only counting the unemployed who are looking — those who have stopped looking for a minimum paid job with no benefits are not counted in!

  8. Ooh…… he’s not fit for the nuclear codes! He’s going to kill us all!! He’s irrational and unstable!!๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜œ

  9. Trump has NO COMPASSION. To save the lives of 150 people he stopped a military strike against Iran.

  10. What?! Since when U.S pays intention on killing bystanders? Where’s the Pride of the GreatEagle?!
