Wasserman-Schultz claims Trump ordered Soleimani strike out of 'self interest'

Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz repeated a familiar talking point coming from Democratic lawmakers in recent days, suggesting President Trump ordered the killing of a top Iranian general this week to distract the American public from his impeachment.

"This action was taken more in President Trump's self-interest rather than our national interest," Wasserman-Schultz said Sunday on CNN. "We had damning developments in just the last day ... That is outrageous, and I think it has a lot to do with why the attack was carried out."

Wasserman-Schultz appeared to be referencing a report by the New York Times from over the weekend, showing the White House sought to conceal a series of e-mails between top Trump administration officials and the Office of Budget Management regarding frozen military aid to Ukraine at the center of impeachment.

DWS truly believes that everyone thinks the way that she does, self interest ruling all.

Wasserman-Schultz is a nut job and irrelevant. Guess somebody forgot to tell her. Wonder if she is going to mess with Bernie Sanders this go round.

OF COURSE he did it out of self interest. I've been saying it here for his entire presidency. It is about Trump, and only and always about Trump. It is and always has been Trump first. If America benefits as a bi-product, then double win for Trump.
