Trump’s done it. What many other presidents contemplated and wanted to do. But didn’t. For fear of a wider war. Like on so many other things, Trump has again shown that he will do what no other President will do.

Here we go.

This may end up being the right decision. Despite the fact it was Trump making it.

But it will forever have been done the wrong way.

He should have made a proper case to the nation. And gotten Congressional approval.

The same as any President should.

Especially if this drags on.

Which is more likely than not.

Wars are easy to start. Hard to end.

First commit the county. Then commit the troops.

He didn’t do that. And that’s a recipe for challenges.

I’m praying for our troops, for their families, for everyone in the region, and for the world.

And I’m at a Bat Mitzvah in NYC right now.

We live in surreal times.

Meanwhile.

We have ~40,000 US troops in the region. They’re in for a long few days. Maybe months. https://www.militarytimes.com/news/pentagon-congress/2025/06/18/us-troops-bases-in-middle-east-could-be-targets-in-conflict-with-iran/

Iran’s proxies have been trying to hit them for years. Reducing that threat is a critical part of the calculation now. And a worthy one.

And we’re about to find out how real these Iranian sleeper assets are worldwide.

It’s a night to appreciate American intel, law enforcement and military men and women globally. And especially here at home.

They’re watching out for all of us. Always. But especially right now.

Stay vigilant, Americans. Everywhere.
