Trump is attacking Iran because of video of him raping children which Netanyahu and Putin have. And gives him excuse to cancel midterms and 2028 elections. He has totally miscalculated because Iran is prepared this time. Americans will be brought home in coffins!

The real value of Trump’s IRS settlement may not be the 1.8 billion dollar fund. It may be the reported release from IRS violations involving Trump and his family. That starts looking less like a settlement and more like protection. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGEJfNFyK-g
