Back in 2002 and 2003 Jay Inslee became an outspoken opponent of the invasion of Iraq. I didn’t have to research that because I remember him doing that. Today as Donald Trump stumbles toward a war with Iran, advised by the never correct, habitual war monger, John Bolton, in an apparent cynical attempt to shore up Trump‘s evangelical base. Apparently Mr Trump gives no more thought to startling a War with Iran than he does to ordering a bucket of KFC.
So tonight when asked (in turn) what America’s biggest national security threat is I expected Jay Inslee to say Climate Change. But Inslee is correct when he answered “Donald Trump’ without any hesitation. The audience reacted with the most enthusiastic cheering of the evening. Mr. Trump is the more immediate national security threat to America.

“It’s the right answer — he is the greatest threat to American security for multiple reasons,” Inslee told Hill.TV on Thursday.
“He’s a threat to our ability to keep our plant from burning up because of the climate crisis,” he continued. "He’s what stands between Americans and clean energy jobs. He’s a threat in the Mideast because of his irrational, chaotic Iran policy, where we had an agreement."
