The idea that Donald Trump campaigned on allowing our enemies to build nuclear weapons and threaten to wipe us off the face of the earth, that he shouldn't intervene in that, that he shouldn't confront that, that somehow that violates what MAGA stands for, is so idiotic, is so stupid, and yet they push this agenda.
For almost 47 years, this regime has been attacking the United States and killing Americans. Every time you see someone with missing arms and legs, or a face that's been absolutely shattered violently, it was almost certainly caused by an Iran roadside bomb.
