video at link....
The US president Donald Trump says an explosion that killed dozens of people in Lebanon's capital, Beirut, looks like an attack. 'We will be there to help. It looks like a
terrible attack,' he said at a press briefing. Trump was later asked why he called the explosion an attack, not an accident, saying he met with generals who felt it was 'a
bomb of some kind'

(46,080 posts)1. Hmmmm, what can Trump do with this "opportunity" . . . . .
How about this: Iran attacked Lebanon and by extension, Israel. No proof, of course. Therefore Trump has to retaliate against Iran. And nothing plumps up sagging poll numbers like a good war. Bombs, explosions, dead bodies, burnt out buildings, screaming children. Great for endless loops on cable news. As we have no baseball and likely no football, war is going to be replacement spectator sport.
