Politico: Trump spars with House panel, threatens Iraq and Iran
Democratic lawmakers have expressed frustration with the Trump administration's secrecy in striking Iranian military leader Qassem Soleimani.
President Donald Trump on Sunday tweeted that his social media posts “serve as notification” to Congress that the U.S. will retaliate against any attack from Iran — and the House Foreign Affairs Committee wasn’t having it.
“These Media Posts will serve as notification to the United States Congress that should Iran strike any U.S. person or target, the United States will quickly & fully strike back, & perhaps in a disproportionate manner,” Trump wrote. “Such legal notice is not required, but is given nevertheless!”
The House Foreign Affairs Committee, which is chaired by New York Democrat Eliot Engel, responded on Twitter: “This Media Post will serve as a reminder that war powers reside in the Congress under the United States Constitution. And that you should read the War Powers Act. And that you’re not a dictator.”

WNU Editor: This is what I was afraid about. The Democrat controlled House of Representatives impeached President Trump a few weeks ago, even calling President Trump a threat to national security who should be removed from office immediately. In such a partisan environment it is hard to see how both branches of government can now cooperate when there is no longer any trust between the two, especially on the issue of Iran. And speaking of Iran. The Democrats and the Washington foreign policy establishment have always believed in President Obama's Middle East strategy that sought to realign American interests with those of Iran. A part of me wonders if the White House delayed telling these committees what they decided to do because they felt that some of the members would have moved heaven and earth to make sure that Qassem Soleimani was untouched, knowing too well that his death would have put an end to this policy. This is all speculation on my part, but it explains the overwhelming negative reaction this weekend from these same politicians and foreign policy pundits on the death of Iranian General Soleimani. Even calling President Trump a dictator.

Exactly, talk about tipping Iran off
wnu editor calls it right I think. DT knows the House will do anything they can to thwart his efforts. It is laughable to think they could keep a secret that they could undermine him with by divulging it.
If he were truly a dictator, they would not be around yelping.
I meant whining not yelping.
They have dogs in Moscow that are nice and smarter than most democrat representatives.
If Caligula can make his horse a senator, I think it would be worth it to have Nancy Pelosi's district run by a dog from Moscow.
The Dems are jokes; why do we give them so much attention!? If they are worried about dictators, maybe they should start acting in concert with our democracy - but I’m not holding my breath. This is going to spiral down and we will have a chaos for a while; until Nov 2020!
Trump's vision for the next few years.
"Trump is only an idiot in certain directions so think of it as a timeline that even he can figure out:
Timeline 2020:
Trump is impeached.
Impeachment fails in the senate
Trump walks away convinced that the law does not apply to him.
Sees himself as above the law even more than he does now. He is untouchable.
He gets re elected.
Climate change becomes officially seen as a hoax. All reference to it is removed from government affairs.
Timeline 2022:
The oil fracking boom comes to an end.
The US economic system is unsustainable without surplus energy input.
With depleted oil, the dollar loses its predominance in global finance.
The USA economy crashes into serious depression widespread civil unrest increases due to lack of jobs and food. (food needs an oil infrastructure)
States threaten to secede along racial, geographic, religious, racial lines
Timeline 2023
Trump is forced to institute ‘emergency powers’ to stop uprisings. He becomes dictator.
Suspends 2024 election “as an emergency measure”
Timeline 2024
Trump family run the country.
Pelosi, Mueller, Comey et al are arrested as ‘enemies of the state’ and jailed without trial. The military recognizes the national collapse and falls in line behind whoever pays their wages
The US constitution is suspended as more enemies of the people are rounded up.
Timeline 2025-on
The Jesus freaks take over the dirty work of running the country’s law enforcement. They become his Praetorian Guard, as he has power they have power. Large groups of Americans that have not fallen in line, or who have not given up their assets are buried in mass graves, alive.
The USA becomes a Theo-facist dictatorship as civil war breaks out between seceded regions.
Trump's death is finally acknowledged and his body is preserved in a glass, gold highlighted coffin located in newly rebuilt White House lobby for all to see and revere."
Anon, even after viewing what is claimed to be Trump's corpse in the White House lobby, does not believe that his hero is actually dead.
