A mordant critique from the right

Trump tweets predicting Obama would start a war with Iran to get reelected are coming back to haunt him

In 2011 and 2012, Donald Trump repeatedly accused President Barack Obama of seeking war with Iran to help win the 2012 presidential election.

"In order to get elected, @BarackObama will start a war with Iran," Trump tweeted in 2011, years before he began his own presidential campaign.

On Thursday, Trump ordered the killing of Qassem Soleimani, a top Iranian military commander who was one of the most powerful men in the Middle East.

The assassination came with Trump's approval rating mired at 42% and with him facing removal from office through impeachment in a US election year.
