Iran’s alleged plot to assassinate former President Donald Trump and hack the Trump campaign amount to “an act of war,” according to Republican Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina.

Just days after a would-be assassin’s bullet grazed Trump’s ear in July, the FBI announced that Iran had allegedly been separately plotting to kill the former president. Federal officials later revealed that Iran had hacked and stolen confidential information from the Trump campaign.

    Exactly. It’s Mr. Trump. Mr. Obama. Mr. Bush. Etc.

    We have stop normalizing reverence for former statesmen. Respect—where it’s deserved—sure but titles belong to the office not the person.

      When they call Trump president, it’s because they want to make the impression the election was stolen, and Trump is the real elected president.
      They don’t say former, they say it as if he is the de facto president. And it needs to be called out every time we can.
      It’s treasonous against the American democracy and the current administration.
