I Served in Iraq. Trump Has No Idea What He's Doing With Cuba.

Published | Video Starts at 00:35

Right after New Year's, Trump illegally invaded Venezuela with no plan for democratic transition. Less than two months later, he led us into war with Iran. No justification or definition of what victory looks like. Now 13 service members are dead, we're deploying more troops overseas, and gas prices are up 40% as a direct result of Trump's failing foreign policy. But as if that disaster of the Iran war and the resulting spike in oil prices were enough, Trump is continuing to threaten to invade couples Cuba as well. (00:35–00:45)
