The Boy Who Cried Airstrike

On Friday, Donald Trump openly contradicted himself about planned airstrikes on Iran in retaliation for an alleged Iranian attack on an unmanned drone earlier in the week (details here). He claimed one thing on Twitter in the morning and something else entirely in an NBC interview later in the day.

Even Fox News, which is normally so slavishly adoring of Trump, said his stories didn't wash (details here). That's an understatement.

This is what you get with a President who is such a habitual liar. Rational, logical people just can't trust him. Who knows if he really called off airstrikes in progress? Was the whole thing fabricated. Was he actually telling the truth?

In the classic children's story, a mischievous boy regularly told villagers that a wolf was attacking their sheep to the point where they just ignored him. And then a real wolf struck.

That's the dangerous situation in which Trump has put this nation. He has lied so many times, that when he may be telling the truth, and our nation's safety is actually at risk, few will believe him. He is a danger to America.
