Why hasn't rump addressed the nation?

The Bulwark
Mar 1, 2026

Tim Miller and Sarah Longwell discuss the deafening silence from President Donald Trump and his administration after the U.S. strikes in Iran. As of Sunday evening, no one from the White House has laid out to the American public the case or any clear objectives for the major assault. Three U.S. service members have been killed with others severely wounded. Note: Shortly after this taping, The New York Times published a report about a brief telephone interview the Times conducted with Trump Sunday in which he said the assault will go on for "four to five weeks" if needed and offered no clear vision for a transfer of power in Iran.

We should have committed to helping Ukraine defeat Russia. That is our values....that's what made us great. Trumps actions are anti-MAGA, but the fools can.t figure this out.

I'd rather attend every reading at a week-long Vogon poetry festival.

and he's been up to some of his favorite stuff, hurting innocent people to stir the shit pot, so where is he?

I think it’s beginning to penetrate his bubble brain that a majority of people hate his guts.

I find it curious that Iran became an imminent threat the day Clinton finished his deposition and his cronies had nothing to distract Epstein file attention away from him (trump).
