1. Brother Trump, you dropped the ball
Cameron   (06.21.19)
1st true failing of this administration to my mind.

They are taking your measure, as is the world.

It's all on the line now.

You cannot shy away twice, or your Presidency is done.
2. How did Iran recover so much so fast?
David ,   Hartford USA   (06.21.19)
maybe because it was within Iran's territory?

Let's get some radar experts and radar records from Air Traffic Control and see exactly where this drone was flying.

Either Iran owes the USA an apology and 100 million dollars for shooting down the drone over international waters or the USA owes the Iranians an apology for flying in their airspace.

Somebody was in the wrong. Let's find out who it was.
3. Khomeinists saw donald bluff

4. COWARD Trump betrays America, he is UNFIT to be
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (06.21.19)
President...IMPEACH HIM NOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
5. In 2016, I bought a Trump T-shirt, I BURNT it today !!!!!!!
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (06.21.19)
That garbage didn't even burn, so I threw it in the bin.
6. How many brave American soldiers have been killed so far by
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (06.21.19)
Iranian TERRORISTS, Mr, Trump ?????????????????????
7. T has to make good on all his promises to succeed unlike O&B
N ,   N   (06.21.19)
He was against the Iran deal and he terminated it.
He was against new wars and he didn't start one so far and avoided confrontations that would lead to it like the recent one.
He was against O. doing nothing after the toxic gas attack and launched an missile strike against Syrian airfields but informing the Russians in advance.
So far he managed to fulfil his promises but is still despised by the press.
And unlike Mr Mission Accomplished and Mr Drone Warrior, the press will call Mr Bone Spurs out on any failure.
He reminds me on another president who was at war with the press: Wasn't it Mr Watergate who ended the Vietnam war and got an understanding with China?
So in order to avoid new wars let's hope that the next US president won't be the darling of the press either. And for all his personal ills the current one is preferable to many others. It's the outcome that counts!
8. While it's(almost) true, that everything is about either sex
(06.22.19)
or money, unfortunately, in human history there's no tradition for solving "problems" with economic sanctions or denying sex.
After certain point the Solution is always war.
Trump seems not to realize that.
Maybe too afraid to chalk up dead American soldiers before next election?
Maybe something else.
One thing's sure as taxes: it ain't respect for Iranian lives:-)
9. Irans nuke program can only be stopped by force, it has
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (06.22.19)
now become CRYSTAL CLEAR, that Trump will NEVER EVER use force against Irans nuke program...
10. First time since he is in office
(06.22.19)
I have had any respect for him.

He keeps this up, he may make a supporter of me yet. This is the way to get support from the Jewish left, the party of measured response, compassion, wisdom, Torah values.
11. When Trump said, America first, he meant the rabid mullahs
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (06.22.19)
first....HE IS UNWORTHY TO BE AMERICAS PRESIDENT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
12. STOP SAYING ATTACKING IRAN. FOCUS ON ATTACKING THE MULLAHS
Iranian Jew ,   LALA LAND   (06.24.19)
We keep hearing Iran this and Iran that. That is wrong approach. Mullah system is behind the evil doings. Keep the sanctions and do not fall for any trap to start a war prematurely. The mullahs would love another war so they do not have to explain why they can’t run the country properly. It is the same scape goat PALIS or HAM ASS use all the time. Create hardship and distract the public for as long as possible. Trump -should just call his enemy who they are. The mullahs and not Iran are the enemy. Make the media friend of Iranian people and enemy of the mullahs. Do not attack and keep supporting the real people. Pressure the prostitute EU to stop doing biz with Iran and The mullahs will have to pack up and live on their own. Do not give them the holly jihad they do wish for. Give the real Iranians voice and means to fight back one day at a time. Do not fall for the trap like OBLAH BLAH fell for Libya. Show the suffering of Iranian on media everyday and make EU accountable for allowing that to happen.
