You Say You Won by a ‘Mandate to End Wars’ — So Why Are We Geared Up for Two?

You told the American people you won by a “landslide.” You claimed you had a mandate to end endless wars. Ukraine would be over in a day. No more foreign entanglements. “Peace through strength.” And yet — here we are in 2025, 66 days into your second term, on the verge of not one but two escalating conflicts. • In Ukraine, you tried to gaslight the world, calling Ukraine the aggressor while Putin ignored your call, laughed at you on a public stage and kept marching forward. • In the Middle East, you’ve surrounded Iran with bombers, aircraft carriers, and threats. You’re launching strikes, issuing ultimatums, and dangerously cornering a regime known for lashing out. Your wishy-washy, whomever-is-my-friend-today diplomacy is less strategy, more sophomoric performance art, and it’s turning the United States into a dangerous global punchline. This is what you get when a volatile ex-TV star surrounds himself with cronies playing dress-up as diplomats — and calls it governance. Worse still, your reckless approach has cost America its allies. Nations that once stood shoulder-to-shoulder with us are distancing themselves — not because we’re strong, but because we’ve become unstable. We urge Congress to: • Reclaim its war powers • Demand transparency and real diplomacy • And remind this administration that saber-rattling isn’t leadership Mr. President, if you truly believe you were elected “by a landslide “ to bring peace, start acting like a leader — not a man chasing ratings from the Situation Room.
