Trump says he will build an Iron Dome in America. What the actual fuck is this bullshit? (twitter.com)

I mean the only way that would work is less on the scale of the Iron Dome in Israel and more on the Star Wars program that was discontinued decades ago

America doesn't need to worry about short range attacks, it needs to stop intercontinental missiles. Sort of like the system they had in Tom Clancy's Endwar

But if they're the only ones that have it, everyone opposing the US is fucked because there's no more MAD, they can fully stop any attacks against them while any other country us fucked. Though considering the condition of the worlds nuclear stockpile, I'd put that on the back-burner and focus more on Cyberwarfare, drones and EMP warfare over this.

My point is why he is even talking about something like this now?

This won't gain him any votes. He might even lose more than a few votes just based on the stupid meme way he described how the Iron Dome works.

As much as I personally loathe Trump for how he fucked us with Operation Warpspeed, not crackdowning on the BLM riots and listening to Fauci on the COVID lockdowns, Trump is who the retarded GOP primary electorate in Iowa selected.

I think Trump is also a retard but alas he is still better than Biden.

If Trump wants to win, he needs to stop talking about nonsense like the Iron Dome and hammer against Biden on the economy, immigration and crime.

What he's talking about here is massive domestic military spending.

This is the main reason why the military industrial complex opposes Trump, because no new wars no new spending. They'd creme themselves to get a working defense shield because then they can fight anybody, they've just never dared to disrupt the MAD dynamic.

Generally people do things for a reason, so if you can't figure it out then you're the one missing something.

The Iron dome is an example of wasteful massive domestic spending.

No Trump voter has ever asked for this garbage.

The MIC will love this idea because they can overcharge for this shit Dome and grift off taxpayer money.

Trump really needs to focus on the essentials to win: economy, immigration and crime.

Stop making excuses for this dumbass idea.

I think you're still missing the point here. Trump already has the voters to win the election in a landslide (in an honest election).

What he has to do is convince the shadow government not to assassinate him and that his second term won't be so bad that they need to use another black swan like covid.

The 'iron hemisphere' gets the military industrial complex off his back. Then he mostly just has to fight the pedos.

He's using the Iron Dome as a workable example and applying it to Star Wars.

He should just be hitting on immigration but thanks to the Biden administration own actions they can't even claim to be for restrictions.

Essentially, the Biden administration are so shit all you have to be is not them and people will vote for you, Trump has a track record of not being them and those that despise Trump will vote RFK Jr instead not giving votes to Biden. We're at the point where people are more scared they'll try to assassinate Trump than of him actually losing the election or not being allowed on the ballot.

Trump can absolutely still lose the election if he runs a shitty campaign.

I still prefer the orange man winning over Biden.

Suburban independent voters will ultimately decide what happens.

If enough suburban indie voters stay home or vote for third parties in large enough numbers, then Trump can win in the electoral college.

Trump's best path to victory is third parties and voter apathy hurts Biden's suburban/urban coalition and Trump ekes out a narrow win in the electoral college by securing atleast 90 percent of GOP registered voters and by getting atleast 45 percent of independent voters.

The hardest fucking part is getting that independent voter number.

A lot of independent voters vehemently despise Trump. We need these people to stay home or vote third party, they will never vote for Trump regardless of how bad things get under Biden.

It's why I think RFK Jr running independently is the biggest win for Trump and RFK Jr KNOWS this and is running as a spoiler.

Some of his statements about reparations and the like seem to be him trying to court even far left voters, he's trying to basically do what the Bull Moose party did but to the Democrats this time.

Trump COULD still screw it up but him just not picking Haley as VP lowered that chance immensely. And it looks like most, if not all the court cases against him are going sideways so he is in a good position as Biden is getting dragged down more thanks to Israel Gaza war.

No matter how many anti-missile systems we have, the US is unlikely to start using nuclear weapons.
