With the news of Trump’s actions in Iran, FOX News has brought on all of their primetime hosts and analysts to react on a Saturday night.
During the 6:00 hour, Bret Baier was on and spoke to senior political analyst Brit Hume about the Democrat reaction to the news.
Hume points out that if Trump pulls this off, and it looks like he will, it will be popular with the American people. He suggests that Democrats have become ‘trapped’ by their Trump Derangement Syndrome, which he acknowledges is real.
From FOX News:
BRIT HUME: “The public reaction is likely to be favorable, and I think these Democrats are kind of trapped.”
“These Democrats, with rare exception…feel their job in life is to resist and oppose Donald Trump in every way, almost no matter what he does.”
“Over time, those who are critical may feel vindicated if things start to go badly, but if they don’t, they’re going to be stuck with this.”
“If the Iranian regime goes down, and things turn out well in Iran, that will be a burden around their necks.”

Democrats have painted themselves into a corner on this. They can’t complain too much, because the Iranian people are dancing in the streets, yet they can’t appear to support Trump. So what will they do?
They will complain about the way Trump did this. All of their criticism will be about how it was done. Just watch.
