    You can't inpeach a president during time of War, that's an act of treason!!

    Job protection, nothing more!

    Or, he simply took out the leader of a terror organization when the opportunity presented itself. Yes, the Iranian Quds force is a terrorist organization. No different than taking out Bin Laden or Bagdhaddi.

    Maybe he was just doing his job?

    nothing more... so according to you once the president gets impeached then USA loses all it's ability to defend itself.

    after the Steele dossier Mueller report fail here comes the impeachment fail, a case so weak Pelosi can't even send to the senate. People on the left are so disconnected from reality they have to constantly take delusion pills. So a few rockets to take out the mastermind who attacked our embassy... this is Trump starting ww3 to keep his job.. F insanity on the left.

    Because it does.

    1. Voters usually feel patriotic in times of war and vote for the incumbent.(as long as it is sold as a defensive one)
    2. War provides distraction from his failures and impeachment.
    3. War is good for business. So when a recession is in the horizon, start banging the drums.

    So the question is really, why a not liked president WOULDN'T start a war for reelection?

    Historically, a military conflict will always give a bump to a president's polls.

    Next up from Trump, guaranteed: "How can you impeach me when we're in the middle of a war in the middle east? I'm trying to protect American lives."

    For exciting weekend reading, see: Korean War, Vietnam War, Granada Invasion, Panama Invasion, Bosnia, War in Iraq 1, War in Iraq 2, War in Afghanistan. And ready yourself for the new generation Z war, because their generation hasn't yet enjoyed the glory of battle and great tales to tell.

    Wrong question because Trump isn’t starting a war to get a vote.
    It was his stated agenda from beginning to deal with Iran, and he’s been dealing with Iran for years, not just starting now.
    While when Iran gets nukes then it won’t matter who gets the vote. There will be war there sooner or later. Or do you think Iran is a peace loving country and would never attack anyone? Or that it was good decision to allow Hitler to build his military? Would it be ok for him to get nukes as well?

    Being US President Donald Trump is always busy as he should be. Threats to US citizens abroad and protecting them is part of that duty. If you were in that US embassy in Iraq, President Donald Trump would protect your ass as well. It must hurt the ET trolls so much to see President Donald Trump do such an awesome job. The best US President ever. That is why we will re-elect him to another 4 years. He can achieve a lot more to MAGA.

    We’re not going to war with Iran. If that was a remote possibility, they would be moving in multiple carrier groups and 100,000 personnel.

    As far as I’ve read, they’ve moved about 3,500 people into the region recently.
