Trump is Gaslighting America on the Iran War

Published | Video Starts at 00:56

In the last week, for instance, a new war is threatening to break out between Yemen and Saudi Arabia, which would likely result in the other straits at the bottom of the Red Sea being closed as well. Trump personally pays no price for this stalemate. His corruption schemes, his cryptocurrency, his insider trading, the contracts to his sons, all of that has practically tripled his net worth in just 18 short months in office. No, the price of this war is being plainly paid first and foremost by our soldiers who are being put in harm's way for a war that is making America weaker. (00:56–01:18)
