I’ve been quite critical of Trump 2.0 but this is just stupid.

Really? So just being elected President wouldn't get him in the history books?

I’m pretty certain that Trump already has a solid legacy …. even well before he became POTUS …… and one to be proud of.

Trump is executing a geopolitical strategy that has been in the planning stages for many years. It is an obtuse mistake to assume these actions are for personal reasons.

Judge others by what they do … not by what is said.

Wait I thought Iran was the downfall of his legacy now he’s a war monger to cement his legacy?

Nah, he started this debacle because Bibi finally found a president that was stupid enough to do so.

Trump went into Iran to counter China. Most US Presidents are hyper conservative when it comes to foreign conflicts…they typically don’t want to risk their legacy on difficult decisions. I would argue that Trump is more interested in confronting these issues head-on with the understanding that it could cost political points. I believe that the administration made the call to confront the growing problem of China by severing their energy supplies which in my opinion is the right move. I highly doubt that we will see the same continued growth of China now that they have to pay full price for oil/gas.

No one ever really wanted to confront Iran because of the threat that China and Russia would come to their aid and cause a global conflict. Well, Trump called their bluff.

The only reason he went into Iran was to piss you off. He succeeded.

Unless Trump does something of more extreme, even existential, proportions in the next couple of years his presidency will be just another chapter in the history books, and it won’t be a flattering one…

If you’re gonna go in though, then win it. Don’t lose it. We’re just dicking around in there, spending billions on very few objectives.

To ruin his legacy perhaps.

Not the first politician to fall for such things and won’t be the last.

That’s true but mostly because history books have become more radical left than you have turned in your ancient age.

I can buy the Kennedy Center, but Iran was too big of a risk. If his legacy was such a concern, there are better, easier ways to go about it. Iran is a huge gamble, and it's not like anything would change the opinion of the left-wing caretakers of history - academia and the press.

The fact that he has been talking about giving Iran an asswhooping since the 80s also disproves your theory.

He went into Iran because he has no ability to negotiate. He called this a long time ago

“Our president will start a war with Iran because he has no ability to negotiate” - Donald Trump

He was right again

Quite a melt. Every President in my lifetime has talked big about ending the Iran reign of instability. Only Trump had the sack to actually do it.

When supposed good people defend pure evil the world is tilting for the wrong reasons.
