A Maga high-up said Donald Trump didn’t need Congress to go to war and was owned so brutally it hurts
As Donald Trump continues to wage war on Iran (and frantically try to work out what is it he’s actually trying to achieve and how he’s going to do it) Magas have been queuing up to defend their number one man.
In this case it’s Nadia Schadlo – who served as a deputy national security adviser during Trump’s first term – who was super keen to point out that the American president can go to war with or without Congress.
It’s Ezra Klein asking the questions and they were so brutally owned it hurts.
Trump advisor: Congress does not have a constitutional role in the declaration of war.
Klein: I will quote the Constitution. ‘The Congress shall have power to declare war.’
Trump advisor: *silence*
Klein: It is Congress that has the power to declare war.
Trump advisor: S-so…… pic.twitter.com/XBN4L7piZ6

No, we don’t feel sorry for them either.
And these people surely said it best.

This makes me want to die. Every debate with right-wingers and warmongers is like this. https://t.co/UGMBzQBn2L

Nadia Schadlow has a Ph.D from Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies and confidently says that “Congress does not have a constitutional role in the declaration of war.”
I’m proud to award her Gaslighter of the Year 2026. These people shouldn’t be anywhere near… https://t.co/Fhmdb4gWJn

What an idiot.
A big problem in our country is that people who don’t know a damn thing are influential.
