Angelo Carusone Slams Trump Over Rising Cost of the Iran War: They’re Not Just Giving Him a Blank Check, They Let Him ‘Execute on How He’s Feeling’

RUSH EXCERPT:
CARUSONE: "Yeah, they’re not even going to go so far as to vote on it. Right. Or to take any sort of official action to stop it or to slow it down or to rein it in. They’re not even going to talk about it now. They’re not even going to get, you know, get more information. They’re not even going to do, as you noted, their oversight function. And that’s a big tell as to where we go from here, because they’re not just giving him a blank check. They’re giving Trump clear runway to essentially execute on how he’s feeling. And that’s where this all comes together because Trump basically lives in like he doesn’t think in reality. He thinks in 1990s action movie montages. And, you know, I mean, when he was running for president, you know, while he was promising no new wars, I would also note that he would have this giant opening scene from the patent movie. I mean, this is an irresistible temptation for him. And part of what’s happening with respect to the fracturing is, you know, before we got to this most recent development about boots on the ground, the fracturing was between sort of the new MAGA coalition, these cultural figures that came in parts of the new right, sort of the white nationalist crowd, the isolationists like the Nick Fuentes and the tuckers of the world, and then the sort of the traditional right-wing media. But you’re beginning to see some cracks emerge within the traditional right-wing media. But instead of criticizing Trump, they’re mostly just being quiet about boots on the ground and even the soft people. You know, what they’re doing is they’re saying, look, kharg island, but you have to stop there because it’s technically not Iran proper. It’s not actually in Iran. It’s an island. So he can get away with only kharg island and nothing more. So they’re beginning to say, well, we won’t support all the way in, but we will support this. And it’s the exactly what the first few days of when we started to, before the strikes happened, started to feel like that there was a little tiny little cracks before they fully broke wide open. But what’s the point of it if Republicans have already said they’re not going to do anything with their official power?"
