Nope, and I don't think anyone but the most nieve took that as a literal statement but I think the attraction is he's zero savy which means he can't hide things. He's showing us all how the cogs of American power move purely by his lack of restraint. People enjoy the openness as unintended as it is.

Well maybe they'll enjoy the war one man acting alone without Congress or Senate backing gets them into.

I don't understand an attraction to ignorance. I for one want my leaders to be rational and intelligent.

He is a symptom, for sure. A man who shot himself in the bone spurs by running for president when all he wanted was a pay raise and a ratings bump for the apprentice.

We all want that but people en masse aren't rational and intelligent. Look at our own government. Does it make sense to legalise abortion under the guise "it's a woman's choice" but not legalise sex work. Both are a womans choice so both should be legal but they're not because people are people, illogical creatures.

the timing of retaliation had signifigance apparently
Iranians purposely buried their commander after revenge was taken.

I don't see Iran attacking anytime soon, they will sit back for the moment and let American tear itself apart, War is never the answer anyhow as its always the innocent sadly that suffer
