YouTube Description
as posted by the channelVan Hollen uses Trump’s own words and record to paint him as a liar and serial projector on Iran. He reminds the Senate that Trump tore up the Obama‑era JCPOA, even though that deal had strict inspections and kept Iran from pursuing a nuclear weapon, and that Trump’s own DNI said before the war that Iran was not building a bomb. Van Hollen notes that after U.S. strikes on Iran’s nuclear program, Trump publicly declared the program “obliterated.” Later claimed he had to start a war to stop that same threat, showing how Trump’s justifications keep shifting. He highlights Trump’s boast a month earlier that “we won,” asking, “If we won, what the hell are we doing there?” to underscore the gap between Trump’s victory rhetoric and the reality of a costly, open‑ended conflict.
