From ‘peace president’ to Operation Epic Fury: Donald Trump’s road to war
AI Summary
While en route to Texas to deliver an energy-focused speech, President Trump ordered the launch of "Operation Epic Fury," initiating a war against Iran. The decision followed discussions with Republican senators John Cornyn and Ted Cruz during the flight. Actor Dennis Quaid, also present, participated in a filmed segment where he impersonated Ronald Reagan, seemingly endorsing Trump. This action marks a shift from Trump's earlier stance as a "peace president" who campaigned on ending foreign entanglements. Factors contributing to this change include susceptibility to foreign influence, a desire to distract from domestic issues, and the momentum of the US military. This decision makes Trump the first US leader since George W. Bush to initiate a regime change war against a major adversary.
