Donald Trump made his long-awaited speech at prime time across all network television channels, and he essentially declared he was ready to escalate the war in Iran. He also took time to take jabs at European allies in NATO for not wanting to join him. It took former Congressman Adam Kinzinger to call out the president for being completely decoupled from reality.
Trump has been on a hyperdrive of inconsistencies, putting pressure on an administration that has always claimed everything is going according to plan. Even before the speech, he gave remarks about a Supreme Court ruling where his administration was trying to overturn birthright citizenship — and in the same breath, took aim at NATO allies, accusing them of “lacking courage” and calling them “paper tigers” who should go get their own oil.
