the idjit in chief continues to think bluster and bs will work in global politics the way it did in the NY real estate market....which brings up the question, why DID it work before?

More likely, Trump went too far with his threats and someone in the GOP told him to reign it in.

That $5/gallon gas and thousands of Americans in body bags isn't something winning re-election campaigns are made of.

Americans in body bags? Not sure that was a tipping point for him, though the news insists it's a factor.

about congressional action to stop it, and to make it clear they have already stretcher the aumf as far as it's gonna stretch.

i dont think they fear dems will succeed, but they dont need that to lead the news cycle for a week or more.
esp in a split screen w bombing reports.

So this is just more lies from trump trying desperately to project he's powerful when putin's the one who's got him as his puppet. Trump is claiming this trying to look like he's the leader,when he isn't, and he's really weak. I trust nothing this guy claims as the truth.
