When Donald Trump announced to the American people that he ordered coordinated strikes against three of Iran’s most heavily protected nuclear development sites, he described the result as a “spectacular military success,” adding that “Iran’s key nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and totally obliterated.”

Trump further asserted, “There will be either peace or there will be tragedy for Iran far greater than we have witnessed over the last eight days. Remember, there are many targets left.”

The news proved that Trump had been entirely truthful regarding his repeated position that Iran would not be allowed to develop a nuclear weapon.

Yet the reaction from the mainstream media was anything but positive. Instead, Leftmedia outlets ginned up the idea that Trump was risking igniting World War III. Never mind the fact that the operation was a massive success, that it had significantly crippled if not completely destroyed the threat of a potentially nuclear armed Iran.

Well, unless you believe CNN and that leaked “intelligence report.”

Furthermore, it is increasingly clear that this was not Trump igniting a larger conflict; rather, it was him putting an end to one.

However, Trump Derangement Syndrome is a seemingly incurable condition, and much of the MSM is deeply infected with it. The examples abound.

Politico’s senior foreign affairs correspondent Nahal Toosi lamented, “Trump’s decision to bomb Iran’s nuclear sites this weekend is the latest sign that he’s now in a phase where he’s willing to take enormous risks with little concern about the blowback. … If Trump’s hope for a one-and-done strike devolves into an endless tit-for-tat, he will have led the U.S. into the very type of war he’s long promised to avoid. So much for the ‘isolationist.’”

The Washington Post’s Dan Balz, apparently wringing his hands in a near panic, wrote, “Donald Trump has taken the United States to a place no previous president was prepared to go — launching an all-out assault on Iran’s nuclear facilities with the goal of denying the Iranians the capability to produce a nuclear weapon. Having started down this path, the president — and the world — will await the Iranian response and whatever wider consequences follow. There is no way to overstate the significance of what Trump has set in motion or to predict how it will end.”

The New York Times’s David Sanger suggests that Trump’s action ensured that Iran will “exit the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty and take its vast program underground." Umm… news flash, Trump authorized the U.S. military to use the never-before-used GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator, or MOP, precisely because Iran has literally taken its nuclear weapon development program underground.

Sanger ridiculously tried to make his upside-down argument make sense by pointing to North Korea’s development of a nuclear weapon program, observing, "Today, North Korea has 60 or more nuclear weapons by some intelligence estimates, an arsenal that probably makes it too powerful to attack.” He predicted that Iran would now follow suit.

Iran was already following the North Korean playbook. The big difference now is that instead of negotiating repeatedly until North Korea eventually built its nuke, Trump has acted aggressively and decisively to help Israel destroy Iran’s nuke program. If anything, Trump observed the failure of the U.S. and West to prevent North Korea from getting nukes via feckless diplomacy efforts and used the stick when that became the only realistic option available.

Other Leftmedia talkingheads, while liking the results, still blasted Trump for not going to Congress first, suggesting that he was overstepping his presidential authority. Never mind the fact that Barack Obama authorized over 500 drone strikes without notifying Congress. Also, there’s the fact that America has every right to strike back at Iran for the numerous attacks and terror campaigns it has carried out against the U.S. over the decades.

Then there’s MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow, who dove into the global conspiracy realm, claiming that Trump has acted in accordance with the dreams of a political faction within the U.S. that has long wanted to go to war with Iran. Maddow argued that Trump had failed to make a compelling case for why this action was urgently needed.

Evidently, Maddow has been living under a rock. Trump has been repeatedly making his case to the American people and the entire world for weeks leading up to this action.

What all these commentators and pundits have in common is a raging case of TDS. Trump has shown decisive and impressive leadership that may bring about positive peace for the Middle East, and all they can do is wail that he’s destroying everything.

Once again, this is why many people lack trust in the mainstream media. Journalists appear committed to delivering a narrative that promotes the view that, regardless of the issue, Trump is always the problem.
