I will oppose any War Powers resolution pushed by @SpeakerPelosi so as to allow this President to have the latitude he needs as Commander in Chief.
The last thing America needs is 535 Commanders in Chief. Americans elected one: @realdonaldtrump.
I think the vast majority agree killing 600+ Americans is well beyond justification to say: enough is enough.
And yet here we are, where Democrats are falling all over themselves equivocating about a terrorist, and writing a resolution to prevent POTUS from responding. Wow.
President @realDonaldTrump’s National security team — @VP Pence, @SecPompeo, @EsperDoD, and national security advisor O’Brien — are doing a great job helping President Trump navigate Iranian provocations.
Stay steady. Stay strong!
President @realDonaldTrump took decisive, preemptive action to foil a plot directed at American personnel.
As to what happens next: It should be clear to Iran that President Trump will not sit idly by if our people and interests are threatened.
When it comes to the death of General Soleimani, there is no one to blame but himself.
He effectively signed his own death warrant by planning massive attacks against U.S. personnel in Iraq and throughout the Middle East.
We killed the most powerful man in Tehran short of the Ayatollah.
This was not an act of revenge for what he had done in the past.
This was a preemptive, defensive strike planned to take out the organizer of attacks yet to come.
