Trump was driven by his vanity rather than by the necessity of stopping Iran from attacking America, rather than by the necessity of stopping Iran from attacking America when he bombed Iran and started a war.

Late last month, in the presence of most U.S. cabinet secretaries, senior White House officials, corporate and media VIPs and a broad cross section of the press, another attempt was made on President Trump’s life.  I had tuned in to CNN’s live broadcast to watch the White House Correspondents Association Dinner to see what tone the president would strike in his remarks, having finally accepted the association’s invitation to this historic dinner which paired the president and the press.  I got more than I bargained for, including a hard look at how well the Secret Service plans and executes at a large event like this – especially after two earlier attempts on the president’s life.
