Trump issued a forceful statement today defending his approach to Iran and criticizing Democrats and the media for what he described as unfair scrutiny. In the statement, Trump compared his strategy on Iran to major U.S. military engagements, highlighting the relative speed with which he claims the U.S. could act compared to past wars.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDespite World War I lasting 4 years, 3 months, and 14 days, World War II lasting 6 years and 1 day, the Korean War lasting 3 years, 1 month, and 2 days, the Vietnam War lasting 19 years, 5 months, and 29 days, and Iraq lasting 8 years, 8 months, and 28 days, they like to say that I promised 6 weeks to defeat Iran, and actually, from the military standpoint, it was far faster than that,\u201d Trump wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Trump emphasized that he is not under pressure to make a deal with Iran, asserting that timing is not a factor in his decision-making. \u201cTime is not my adversary, the only thing that matters is that we finally, after 47 years, straighten out the MESS that other Presidents let happen because they didn&#8217;t have the Courage or Foresight to do what had to be done with respect to Iran,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p>The president also sharply criticized Democrats, calling them \u201cWeak and Pathetic\u201d and labeling them \u201cTRAITORS ALL\u201d for what he described as their past warnings about Iran and current criticism of his administration\u2019s military efforts.<\/p>\n<p>Trump drew parallels to Venezuela, describing the situation as \u201cperfectly executed\u2026 just a bigger, more complex operation,\u201d and expressed confidence that the outcome would be successful. He also reiterated his record on military expansion, noting that during his first term he \u201cbuilt the Greatest Military our Country has ever seen, including adding Space Force,\u201d and that he is now \u201cproperly and judiciously using our Military to solve problems left to us by others of far less understanding or competence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump concluded his statement with his signature slogan: \u201cMAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>US President Donald J Trump Claims Strong Position on Iran, Criticizes Democrats and Media. &nbsp; Washington, D.C.: &nbsp; US President Donald J.
