Lara Trump isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer, but her "circular logic" on the Strait of Hormuz makes my brain hurt [View all]
LET'S UNPACK LARA'S REASONING, SHALL WE?1). Prior to Trump's war, NO ISSUES IN THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ
2). Trump attacks Iran, resulting in ISSUES IN THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ
3). As a result, Trump had to PRE-EMPTIVELY LAUNCH STIKES IN IRAN to deal with ISSUES IN THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ that DID NOT EXIST before he ATTACKED IRAN.
Did I miss anything?
