This article was triggered by this recent news story: Strikes on Iran Approved by Trump, Then Abruptly Pulled Back. The decision-making process seemed very troublesome until the President came out with his own version …

1. President Trump’s version of this decision-making process
Whom to believe, the mainstream media or the President?
It does not matter!
The reality is that we are closer to having a shooting war with Iran than ever. For more, read: Iranian Advisor: Trump Wanted a Better Deal, Going To Get A War Instead.
In other words, the 1-trick pony is about to lose yet another game in the big league (President Trump’s Major League Score: 0:4)!
2. Is President Trump a 1-trick pony?
Yes, he is!

Generally speaking, it is a simple and good strategy when it works. Unfortunately for Donald Trump, it works no more.
3. Why does the trick work no more for Donald Trump?
Two main reasons:
- The American Presidency is not an entry-level position for public service. For more, read: Trump vs. Putin and Xi.
- Our political system is deeply flawed, with “getting re-elected ad nauseam” being the worst problem.

4. What went wrong on Iran?
On President Trump’s watch, here is the starter: Trump officially pulls out Iran nuclear deal.
Then, what happened?

In short, if you choose to be surrounded by the war-mongers, you may inevitably become one of them yourself, and vice versa, especially in terms of lying for this President (President Trump Is a Contagious Liar!).
For a more profound explanation of the U.S. policy on Iran dating back to 1953, watch the video at the end of this article.
5. How much has Donald Trump changed on Iran?
Almost 180 degrees!

6. Discussion
America is deeply in trouble. “We the People” simply do not know what to do, other than periodically casting our vote of “no confidence” to elect someone, anyone, very different to be the President – First Barack Obama, then Donald Trump. Unfortunately, neither has worked out.

More bluntly, by launching a war against Iran, President Trump will prove to be even more damaging to America than Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama!
Will he do it?
Hopefully not. But he may, if the poll gets really bad for him!
Remember: it’s getting re-elected ad nauseam!
America, reform our failing political system, as I have suggested (American Democracy – Why is it failing & how to fix it?)!
7. Closing
Everything possible must be done to prevent President Trump from launching a war against Iran!
Now, please sit back and enjoy the long video below.
