ADDED. He's insane, WTF:
Welp.
Trump resort coming soon
ADDED via Catherine Rampell:
Rubio on CBS: "This wasn't a regime change move."
Vance on ABC: "Well, first of all, we don't want to achieve regime change."
Vance on NBC: "our view has been very clear that we don't want a regime change."
Trump, not waiting even 24 hours to undercut and humiliate them:
"The big reality is that wars don’t end just because you say they do or you want them to. They’re inherently unpredictable and have impacts which play into the future in ways you can’t control. Donald Trump has taken us right into the center of a major war with a major regional power, albeit one that is for the moment on its knees militarily."

"The Vatican elected an American cardinal who has been very critical of his Administration. He had to bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia home. No one showed up for his sad birthday parade. His ugliness has spawned what appears to be the biggest protest movement in American history. His immigration enforcement escalation has backfired. His intel community has called bullshit on his claims of Iran’s nuclear progress."
"The idea that we are getting bogged down in yet another war in the Middle East, after having finally and painfully exited two protracted wars in the region earlier this century, is stomach turning. That it came from a president who promised 'no more wars' is a deep betrayal to many of his most ardent followers, though they are unlikely to ultimately abandon him over it.
They are, after all, in a cult."

"His economic policy is slowing the economy down in every country in the world including the US, has caused our credit to go through an unprecedented downgrade, and the American people have figured out this budget bill will make their lives worse (as it will). All across the country local news organizations are reporting on how his cuts and plans will do harm to their communities. He keeps losing in court, badly."

"Trump’s Presidency is failing and unpopular, and he had to do something. Elon attacked and emasculated him, and made him weak and stupid. Global leaders are not bending the knee, and there has been no 90 trade deals in 90 days. Putin is treating him like a coffee boy, and Zelensky has made him look like a clown."

"When he was elected, Donald Trump suggested he could hammer out a new relationship with Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister who was used to getting his way with the White House. But after just over 150 days in office, it appears Trump has fallen into the same trap as his predecessors – and launched the most consequential strike on Iran in generations."

"None of this had to happen. In 2015, President Obama—together with China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom, Germany and the European Union—signed a deal with Iran that would’ve prevented the country from developing nuclear weapons. …
But that deal was ended in 2018 by Trump."

"Trump swept into office amid promises of peace. But now that he’s got power, he’s wholly disinterested in upholding his promises. He views himself as completely unaccountable to anyone and everyone, because that’s what autocrats do. And now the United States is being dragged into another war at the hands of an autocrat drunk on power."

Bass writes,
"While the rest of us are trying to discern signs of fascism, many American are discerning the 'signs of the times.'
We think Hitler. They think Jesus. We think of the innocent suffering. They think of the final judgment. We pray for peace. They believe that the Prince of Peace is returning with a sword.
That's how completely far apart the narrative worlds are."
Mike Huckabee is an ordained Southern Baptist minister who buys into the very modern, untraditional (and, many would say, completely aberrant) notion that Israel has a special role to play in ushering in the end times — and Israel must be supported at all cost and without any criticism by true-believing Christians.
This notion is powerful in US evangelicalism and the MAGA movement.
"Last night, Trump bombed three nuclear sites in Iran.
In the wake of these events, there has been little to no discussion of the theological motives behind all this. But theology matters, and it may be what tipped the scales in favor of attacking Iran."
~ Diana Butler Bass
Bass then points to the recent text of Mike Huckabee, ambassador to Israel, telling Trump he was spared by God to be the "most consequential" president ever.

Al-Monitor: Tech-fueled misinformation distorts Iran-Israel fighting. “AI deepfakes, video game footage passed off as real combat, and chatbot-generated falsehoods — such tech-enabled misinformation is distorting the Israel-Iran conflict, fueling a war of narratives across social media.”
“Truth Social started experiencing global outages around the world within minutes of #Trump posting details of a US military strike on #Iran.”
