President Trump has demonstrated the limitation of his reality show, go-it-alone, incoherent approach, which helped him eke out an electoral college victory while losing the popular vote by 3 million votes, but is spectacularly ill-equipped to govern, let alone respond to a crisis that he has made worse. Maybe there was a reason that Bush and Obama didn't kill Soleimani when they could. Evidently, his advisors put General Soleimani's assassination on the list of options because they thought it was so outrageous they didn't think he would choose it. If you thought abandoning our Kurdish allies who helped us fight ISIS was a heartless disaster, now Trump has managed to unite factions in Iran against us, delaying reform for years, while pushing us to the brink of war and making it more likely that Iran develops nuclear weapons after Iran followed the nuclear agreement that the President broke. Reportedly, Iranian missiles are launched on Americans in bases that the Iraqi Parliament said we should abandon. Congress must act to rein in this reckless President. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Members are reminded to refrain from engaging in personalities toward the President. ____________________
