Trump is Incredible

In this high-stakes episode of 'Part of the Problem,' hosts Dave Smith and Robbie Bernstein dissect the escalating crisis surrounding U.S.-Iran tensions, focusing on Donald Trump's increasingly erratic and contradictory rhetoric. They critique Trump's shifting stance on the Strait of Hormuz, from dismissing its importance to threatening to 'bomb Iran back to the Stone Age' and declaring 'power plant day and bridge day'—a plan that would destroy civilian infrastructure and constitute war crimes under international law. The hosts expose the moral contradictions in the U.S. narrative, particularly the admission that the U.S. sent weapons to Iranian protesters, undermining the claim that the conflict is about liberating the Iranian people. They also highlight the dangerous precedent set by justifying civilian targeting through the 'dual use' argument, a tactic long used by Israel in Gaza and now being applied by the U.S. in Iran. The episode underscores the absurdity of Trump’s 100% approval claim from a CNN poll of MAGA voters, while revealing his plummeting approval among independents—worse than Bush after two disastrous wars. The hosts warn of a potential endless war, fueled by Trump’s bluffing, ego, and refusal to acknowledge reality, as the world teeters on the brink of a catastrophic escalation with no clear exit strategy.
