    Well technically it’s a war that America is losing, current tense, not has lost, past tense. It’s a technicality, sure, but we all know how much of a stickler Trump is for accuracy and precision.

    That is so hard to say with a straight face lol

      The Trump administration argued that the first conflict ended with the memorandum of understanding, and that what we’re in now is a new conflict. Specifically so they could avoid the 60 day deadline that requires congress to vote on special military action, and either pull troops out or properly declare war.

      The official position of the government is that the war ended on June 17th. Ignore the fact that we are still participating in a war.

      Yeah, a bunch of historians get together and use a quill pen to write in a big book called “History” and whatever they write is officially what has happened. The historians got together just yesterday and wrote “The USA lost the Iran war.” Now that’s the official history. /s

    Time to illegally put a tariff and federal tax on history books? That’ll show people!

    He put Hegseth in charge. Basically, his own fault. I’ll thought out unnecessary war. Biggliest loss ever! We could really hurt his feelings by blaming him for the end of the American empire (even though he was just a minor contributor).
