Iran Proves It: TDS Is An Incurable Disease

You can almost hear those suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome pondering this question as they struggle to absorb the spectacular success President Donald Trump just achieved in Iran.
They’ve already given their answer.
Before the dust had a chance to settle over Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan, leading never-Trumper David Frum declared “Right move, wrong team.” (As though this attack would have been better carried out by the dimwit Frum voted for in the last election.)
“Trump did the right thing, but he did that right thing in the wrongest possible way: without Congress, without competent leadership in place to defend the United States against terrorism, and while waging a culture war at home against half the nation,” Frum writes from his perch in the Trump-loathing Atlantic magazine. “Trump has not put U.S. boots on the ground to fight Iran, but he has put U.S. troops on the ground for an uninvited military occupation of California.”
This is the same David Frum who, when Barack Obama was negotiating his horrid deal with Iran, declared that “A nuclear weapons-capable Iran is a priority-one threat to U.S. and Western interests in the Gulf area. That’s the thing we need to stop.”
It’s the same David Frum who confidently predicted – on Saturday, the day Trump dropped the bombs – that Trump would “chicken out” when it came to attacking Iran, partly because of his “unwillingness to ever do anything that Putin does not want.”
