The same Bush hawks President Trump has frequently eviscerated for orchestrating America's “endless wars” were cheering him on this week
Cable news carried a distinct 2003 vibe this week, with Bush administration officials blanketing the airwaves to make the case for an attack in Iraq.
Throughout the week, when Trump faced criticism — including from some usual boosters like Tucker Carlson — that the president was leaning on suspect intelligence to rationalize dangerous military actions, he had a coterie of Bush aides there to defend him. In the pages of the Wall Street Journal, key Bush political strategist Karl Rove mused about whether time would “reward or punish Democrats for being skeptical of Trump’s triumph” during an election year. On Fox News, Rove claimed that the attack “could help with a very small sliver of the electorate that’s up for grabs” and criticized Democrats for their skepticism of the attack.
Top Trump aides at times even echoed the Bush playbook of vaguely linking enemies to the terrorists behind the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
