The Worst War Speech in American History. He Announced That Himself. Before the cameras rolled, Trump told reporters what to expect: “Tonight, I’m making a little speech at 9 o’clock. And basically I’m gonna tell everybody how great I am.” He delivered. Nineteen minutes. First wartime address to the nation. What serious people said afterward Chuck Schumer asked whether there had “ever been a more rambling, disjointed, and pathetic presidential war speech” in history. “Donald Trump’s actions in Iran will be considered one of the greatest policy blunders in the history of our country,” he wrote. Trump is “completely unfit to be Commander-in-Chief and the whole world knows it.” Senator Mark Warner said Trump had offered “a moving target of justifications for this war of choice, none matched by the serious planning required to manage its predictable consequences.” Senator Blumenthal said it “failed to meet the moment” and that Trump offered “magical thinking but no real plan.” Senator Chris Coons kept it surgical: “No clear plan. Rambling, unmoored, unserious.” Representative Yassamin Ansari, Iranian American, on Trump’s promise to send Iran back to the Stone Age: “He’s talking about a country of 90 million people. Vile, horrifying, evil.” Even Ann Coulter was not clapping. She posted a screenshot of surging oil futures the moment the speech ended, with the caption: “Trump’s magnificent speech got results! Way to go, Mr. President!” From the markets: Russel Chesler, head of investments at VanEck Australia: “The markets are certainly not interpreting the speech as positive. If he was trying to inspire confidence, he has not done that.” Stock futures dropped the moment Trump finished. The Dow slid over 260 points. Oil surged. His approval rating as Commander-in-Chief: 33%. Down eight points since January. If I had a child in the US military today, I would chain them to the radiator. Not metaphorically. With an actual chain. Because no parent in their right mind sends their kid to die for a man who previewed his own wartime address by announcing he planned to spend it praising himself. He was not wrong about that. Gandalv / @Microinteracti1 x.com/Amockx2022/sta…
