The Real Reason Trump Ordered Strike
Jan 11th, 2020 at 9:02am
 
Trump said he ordered strike on Iranian general to help with impeachment


...

Quote:
The Trump White House has maintained the strike on Iranian General Soleimani came as a result of intelligence showing he posed an “imminent” threat to the United States.

But so far the administration has been unable to show any intelligence or evidence to back up that claim. Even Republican senators have been left fuming over the lack of evidence, with one calling it “absolutely insane”.

One claim they furiously denied: it was an attempt to distract from the impeachment trial.

Except, the Wall Street Journal confirms that impeachment was at the top of his mind when Trump ordered the drone strike.

Its long story published Thursday on events surrounding the strike contains this line:

Mr. Trump, after the strike, told associates he was under pressure to deal with Gen. Soleimani from GOP senators he views as important supporters in his coming impeachment trial in the Senate, associates said.

In other words, Trump ordered the strike to bolster support from wavering GOP allies.

Worth noting, the claim is being made in a pro-Trump newspaper owned by Rupert Murdoch. It speaks for itself.

Im pretty good at reading and comprehending the English language and i cant see how that statement implicated Trump in organising the strike for his personal political gain. He very well may have , I dont know but this sort of thing just gives him ammunition for his "fake news" argument. I think just stick to the facts and avoid this type of specious reasoning.

Of course he murdered the General for his own political gain.

I said so from the beginning.

He did it for three main reasons:

1. take the heat off impeachment

2. enhance his re-election prospects

3. leave a legacy as a President who fought a war, rather than be remembered as a failed businessman, coward, and alleged child rapist

Donald Trump only ever does things that will benefit him personally.

And you would be wrong. Quell surprise.

1. What heat?  Has someone warmed up that corpse Pelosi?
2. Doesn't need to.
3. Tosh. Complete and utter.

Like donating his Presidential salary would benefit himself......gweggy must be trying out for some sort of comedy gig.....but you ain't funny are you....I suppose you could audition at the ABC  cafeteria with all the lefturd lovies.

of course he only donated because he thought he would benefit.

He obviously doesn't believe in charity, he even rips of his own charities. And he had to make up a story about donating money to an couple who helped him when his limo broke down because he's to tight to actually donate money:D Cheesy Cheesy

LOL!  Cheesy

Some of you Trump haters are so .....

Why do you assume the very worst motivations for Trump? Do you really think he sought the Presidency just to make some extra cash or gratify his ego?

You really are so blind!

That was at a time when the Democrats may have been worth voting for.

Trump is neither Republican or Democrat in the traditional sense. He's an outsider surrounded by career mostly compromised politicians and influence peddling bureaucrats.

He wasn't seeking the Presidency, he never expected to win.  It was meant to be a platform to launch his TV Network.

Problem is he won.

This is why his platform is so lacking in substance, he never expected to need one.
