‘This is over the top’: Lindsey #Graham and Mick #Mulvaney begged Trump not to kill Iran’s top general, but 4 days later he did it anyway, according to Woodward’s new book
“Trump and Graham were playing golf at the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida, when Trump floated the idea.
“Oh boy, that’s a giant step!” Graham replied, apparently unnerved by Trump’s suggestion, the book says.
The South Carolina senator told Trump that if he ordered Soleimani’s assassination, he would also have to plan what steps to take if Iran escalated the conflict.
“If they retaliate in some way, which they will, you’ve got to be willing to take out the oil refineries,” he said. But he added that if Trump did that, “this will be almost total war!”
“You kill him, new game. You go from playing $10 blackjack to $10,000-a-hand blackjack,” Graham cautioned.”

STOP! rubbing salt in the wound of the profound sadness of the Iranian people resulting from your wrong decision to assassinate #Soleimani.
This level of callousness mocks God.
God will not be mocked.
