MS NOW's Stephanie Ruhle taunts Trump for turning tail against Iran: 'TACO: war edition'
Donald Trump’s pride in getting an Iran deal done, despite accusations that it was a complete capitulation to Iran’s leadership, led MS NOW’s Stephanie Ruhle to haul out the “Trump Always Chickens Out” (TACO) taunt.
During a discussion of the deal with former diplomat Richard Haas and MS NOW’s David Rohde, she asked the two experts what the US got out of the deal.
According to both, the US was definitely on the losing end and the deal could easily fall apart.
“There's concerns that [Israel Prime Minister] Bibi Netanyahu is going to try to blow up this deal because it's so bad for Israel in the long term,” Rohde explained before adding a curt, “It is.”
“And I'll just keep it short,” he continued. “I agree with what [New York Times conservative] Bret Stephens said. He said President Trump launched a war of choice. The really big issue was ground troops, and if you really wanted to win this war, he would need to take Kharg Island or actually, I think, land some troops in Iran.”
“I'm not saying we should invade Iran with our ground troops, but when you go to war, you must fight totally and completely and show personal courage and he [Trump] blinked,” he accused. “President Trump kept dropping bombs and it didn't work. And bombs aren't enough to win a war.”
“TACO: the war edition,” host Ruhle joked as her guests laughed.
