Our great American forces are prepared for anything.

Iran appears to be standing down, which is a good thing for all parties concerned and a very good thing for the world.

No American or Iraqi lives were lost because of the precautions taken, the dispersal of forces,

and an early warning system that worked very well.

I would say that the briefing was incredibly thin on facts, and at the extent that they provided facts in my judgment,

they did not support any claim of an imminent threat.

Well, I mean a third grader could figure this out. They were overrunning the embassy.

They killed a contractor a couple of days before.

Silvermony has been killing Americans for 20 years.

Hello and welcome to Trumpcast. I'm Virginia Heffernin.

So the comparisons of Trump to some other historical figure have come hard and fast,

at least since 2015. Trump is like Baratlusconi. He's like Hitler. He's like Boris Johnson.

Then there was that 2018 film. Do you all remember this? It was called The Trump Prophecy.

And it took that evangelical route comparing Trump to King Cyrus.

The sixth century Persian monarch chosen by God to free Jewish captives in Babylon.

But maybe it's time for us on Trumpcast and in the country at large to stop

perseverating on the character of Trump, whether he's a Cyrus or Boris or Cyrus Boris.

Maybe what's most disturbing at this moment in American history is not the 73 year old mediocrity

in the Oval Office, but the worshipful attitude his diehard supporters still have toward him.

I mean, many net jobs have peddled lies in the United States before and styled themselves as

Messianic. But at no time in history, of so many Americans been drawn to what's looking

increasingly like a cult. Okay, I know using the word cult might be exaggerating.
