SWAMP ALLIANCE: Democrat Jeffries Teams Up With GOP Rep. Massie to HANDCUFF Trump's Military Authority on Iran

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries is backing a dangerous war powers resolution led by GOP Rep. Thomas Massie that would tie President Trump's hands when it comes to defending America against Iranian terrorist threats.

The unlikely alliance between Democrats and the Kentucky Republican represents a stunning attempt to kneecap Trump's ability to respond to Iran's provocations just three weeks into his second term. While Trump works to restore American strength on the world stage, these Washington swamp creatures are more interested in scoring political points than protecting our national security.

Constitutional Crisis or Political Theater?

Massie's resolution would force Congress to vote on limiting Trump's military authority regarding Iran, effectively handcuffing the Commander-in-Chief during one of the most volatile periods in Middle Eastern history. The timing couldn't be worse – or more suspicious.

Patriots remember how Iran's regime of terror operated with impunity during the Biden years, building nuclear weapons while funding proxy wars across the region. Now that Trump is back in the White House, ready to restore peace through strength, these establishment politicians want to strip away the very tools he needs to keep America safe.

"This is exactly the kind of deep state maneuver designed to undermine Trump's America First agenda," said one conservative analyst familiar with the situation.

What's particularly galling is seeing Republicans like Massie team up with the same Democrats who spent four years trying to destroy Trump through impeachment hoaxes and endless investigations. Where was this concern for "war powers" when Biden was sending billions in cash to Ukraine?

Iran Laughing All the Way to the Nuclear Bank

Make no mistake – Iran's terrorist regime is watching this political circus with glee. They know that a weakened American president means more opportunities to spread chaos, fund Hamas and Hezbollah, and threaten our ally Israel.

This resolution isn't about constitutional principles – it's about preventing Trump from doing what he does best: winning for America. The question patriots need to ask is simple: whose side are these politicians really on?

Deep state gonna deep state. They can't stand that Trump will actually put America first instead of starting endless wars.

Hold up folks - I'm as MAGA as they come, but remember Congress is supposed to have war powers according to the Constitution. Maybe we should read the actual bill before going nuclear?

Finally someone with sense. Article I, Section 8 gives Congress the power to declare war, not the President.

This is exactly what we're talking about when we say swamp creatures! Jeffries and Massie working together to tie Trump's hands when he needs to protect America. Disgusting.

Massie has always been a RINO when it counts. This proves it.

Iran needs to be dealt with and Democrats want to handcuff our Commander in Chief. Unbelievable!

I actually agree with limiting presidential war powers regardless of who's president. We've seen too many undeclared conflicts drag on for decades without congressional approval.

My son served three tours in the Middle East and he says the last thing we need is Congress micromanaging military operations. Let Trump do his job!

Thank your son for his service! You're absolutely right - politicians in DC have no idea what it's like on the ground.

Wait, isn't Massie usually one of the good guys? What's his angle here - does anyone know what this bill actually does?

The establishment is already trying to sabotage Trump before he even takes office. This is treason!
