Was Trump's Iran Lie a Deadly Cure for His Political Collapse? - Thom Hartmann



When you’re unpopular and losing politically, just start a little war that’s easily winnable and you’ll be back on top.By defying the law — the Constitution, the War Powers Act, and the AUMF — and simply bombing Iran without any consultation whatsoever, he’s also pulling a dictator stunt, essentially saying, “I, alone, will decide what I can and cannot do.” That’s an impeachable offense under the Constitution.

And it’s even possible that Trump is hoping for something similar to 9/11; his gutting of our intelligence agencies, including firing over 1,200 CIA employees, sure makes it look that way. - Aired on 06/23/2025.
