Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel lashed out Friday after President Trump came under fire for ordering a retaliatory military strike on Iran over the downing of a U.S. drone.

“If Obama had called off air strikes, the media would demand he get the Nobel Peace Prize,” McDaniel tweeted. “Such a double standard.”

1. If Obama were President Now...

We would still be in the JCPA, likely having better relationships with Iran and our historical allies, and we wouldn't be a laughing stock around the world, you idiot!

There would have been no incident and no strike to "call off".

7. Maybe Trump really is a bully wimp...

All bluster and blow, but too much of a chickenshit to actually fight.

Trump only likes to "protect" us against people who can't hit him back and hurt him.

We are so beyond screwed, since he is busy pissing off the rest of the world.

Nice job dumbass republicans!

8. Its SO UNFAIR.

Boo hoo hoo hoo, Ronna. Why don't you run to one of your propaganda outlets for comfort?

[Guilded Lilly]

10. Full of themselves, whiny-assed racist apologist GOP, just go choke. All of you. n/t

[Leith]

12. Lemme get this straight

Ronna makes up a hypothetical situation, places Obama in it, decides on the outcome, then whines about how unfair it is?

When rethugs don't have anything to whine about, they make shit up and get attention. Fuck'em all.

[malaise]

13. Did this dumb ass realize that the Con ordered the strike before

he called it off?

[Claritie Pixie]

14. Uh no - he doesn't deserve it for changing his mind lol.

He ordered the strike in the first place. He is CIC and makes the decision.

Idiot.

15. Republicans Would Call Him a Wimp

If President Obama had called off an strike on any country, especially a country like Iran, Republicans would have called him a wimp. Republicans might have even claimed that action was grounds for impeachment.

Also, how is it that Trump did not know the details about the strike before the strike was approved? I am not buying the idea that any strike was approved.

[book_worm]

16. No, the Republicans would attack him as having no spine and probably

want to impeach him.
