On Wednesday, Townhall<\/a> posted an article with a headline that asked a very interesting question:<\/p>\n

Why Haven’t Any Living Former Presidents Publicly Supported Trump for Enforcing Their Unanimous Red Line?<\/h1>\n

All of our living former Presidents (and a number of legislators) have stated at one time or another that Iran should never be allowed to obtain a nuclear weapon. Some of our former Presidents said this despite giving Iran large sums of money that were probably spent on developing a nuclear weapon.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

This is a fair question from Matt Continetti, who recites some of the relevant quotations before posing it. I’ll add to the list. President Bill Clinton described a nuclearlzed Iran as intolerable and signed<\/a> the Iran Nonproliferation Act of 2000, “which authorize[d] him to take punitive action against individuals or organizations known to be providing material aid to weapons of mass destruction (WMD) programs in Iran.” \u00a0President George W. Bush intoned<\/a> in 2008 that “permitting the world\u2019s leading sponsor of terror to possess the world\u2019s deadliest weapon would be an unforgivable betrayal of future generations.” \u00a0He added, “for the sake of peace, the world must not allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon.\u201d \u00a0The Atlantic’s\u00a0<\/em>Jeffrey Goldberg cooed about President Barack Obama’s “crystal clear promise<\/a> to stop Iran from getting a nuclear weapon.” Obama himself said in 2012 that “when the United States says it is unacceptable for Iran to have a nuclear weapon, we mean what we say.” For added emphasis, he said, “I don’t bluff.<\/a>” \u00a0President Joe Biden declared<\/a> that the Iranian regime would \u201cnever get a nuclear weapon on my watch\u201d in 2021.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) has become more important in some peoples’ minds than the safety of America. It is interesting that after President Trump was the only President to act on the promise that Iran would never obtain a nuclear weapon, there was no acknowledgement of the accomplishment by those who failed to do it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
