@pbsnews: While other U.S. presidents have not been transparent with the public about previous wars, The New York Times’ Peter Baker said the difference with the war in Iran is that it is "a war that the American public never supported to begin with." "This war started out with more people against it than were for it," Baker said, adding that President Donald Trump has "made no effort, it seems like, to win people over by explaining why it's important." Washington Week with The Atlantic is a partnership between @pbsnews, WETA-TV and @theatlantic, airing every Friday on PBS stations nationwide.

Telling lies for market manipulation doesn’t give the American people confidence in his decision-making, or encourages Iran to make a deal.🤔

Let's give the Trump some credit. It took us years to lose the Vietnam War. It only took Trump months to lose the Iran War. 🙄

The US market remains fixated on the Iran situation, overlooking issues I consider far more critical. If the Fed fails to raise interest rates, US inflation will consistently remain well above 2%; meanwhile, bond yields are trending upward and are unlikely to fall, given the significant volume of dollars the US has sold to purchase yen.
I reiterate: there is a 100% certainty the Fed will raise interest rates at the upcoming September meeting.🇺🇸🔥

These clowns are immoral. Did they bring up Israel or Netanyahu even one time? Hell no. They would never. They know exactly what they’re hiding.
