Karoline Leavitt says the US bombed Iran because Trump ‘had a feeling’ they should, in case you were worried they didn’t have a really good reason – 23 top takedowns
The Trump administration has been spinning the wheel each day to come up with a new explanation for why they bombed Iran.
Iran started it.
⚡️🇺🇸JUST IN: U.S Sec. of War Pete Hegseth on Iran:
We didn't start this war, but under President Trump, we are finishing it.

Israel were going to bomb them and the US would have been part of their retaliation anyway, so they joined in.
Holy crap, Rubio basically just admitted that Israel forced Trump's hand pic.twitter.com/6P18aWwe1o

The US had had enough of Iran, so Trump made Israel join their assault.

Iran was planning to assassinate Trump.
Hegseth claims the US killed an Iranian commander who ‘tried to assassinate President Trump’ — something that never happened.
They’re so desperate to shift the narrative around their anti-American Zionist war that they’re recycling propaganda nobody believed in the first place. pic.twitter.com/CpKTJUtQfv

Karoline Leavitt has now added the most astonishing reason to the list, and we really hope Kaitlan Collins asks him about it at the first opportunity.

He had a feeling? A FEELING? That’s going to be an interesting line of questioning if this ever makes it to the Hague.
Eyebrows and hackles rose.

BREAKING: In a stunning admission, Karoline Leavitt says that Trump’s decision to strike Iran was based on his “feeling” that Iran posed an imminent and direct threat to the United States.
Trump got us into a war because the vibes were off.

When the stakes are nuclear escalation and the explanation sounds like how someone chooses a brunch spot.

Yea, Trump also had a "gut feeling" 2-weeks ago but he pooed himself on live television. So it's not every gut feeling that's right. Sometimes it's diarrhea .https://t.co/sTrFobZSIK

A man with obvious cognitive decline had a feeling.
So the US started an illegal war

Remember after 9/11 they took almost two years convincing the American people that Iraq was responsible for 9/11 and was creating weapons to do something worse. Now it’s just “I felt like it.” https://t.co/ARa78YVcSD
