The State Department has ordered 300,000 Americans in 14 Middle Eastern countries to evacuate but is offering no assistance. Airspaces have been closed, flights can’t leave, and they are stranded. The president was asked about the lack of preparations to protect American citizens. He responded, “Well, because it happened all very quickly, we thought, and I thought maybe more so than most. I could ask Marco, but I thought we were going to have a situation where we were going to be attacked. They were getting ready to attack Israel.” According to Trump’s own Pentagon, that is not true.
