Trump has such contempt for the voters of South Carolina that he elevated someone utterly unqualified for senate who knows absolutely nothing about anything connected to the job who reads scripts given to her by MAGA handlers while calling the qualified Democrat names and slurs.

Only in a government run by Trump and a State Dept run by Rubio can an unqualified grifter like Kim Guilfoyle remain Ambassador to Greece after all the scandals that have come out just in the last week. But she obviously has A LOT of dirt on the president’s son, so tough to fire.

A war that was intended to demonstrate the reach of American power has now done the opposite. It is a lesson in unintended consequences.

U.S. forces are retreating. That's what this means.
"Pulled out and returned to their home stations in the U.S. as potential Iranian threats raise base security concerns" is a fancy way of saying the Iranian military has the U.S. military in retreat.
This is unbelievably embarrassing.

WATCH: All U.S. bombers deployed to RAF Fairford in England have been pulled out and returned to their home stations in the United States as potential Iranian threats raise base security concerns across Europe.
