"I think it's an overstatement to say we're at the brink of war," Rep. Jim Himes (D-Conn.) said Monday on CNN's New Day of President Trump's late-night Twitter threat against Iran. But, Himes added, there is real cause for concern. "If you look back at a bunch of Trump's tweets before he was president," the representative said, "he criticized several times Barack Obama and said, 'You just wait, he's going to start a war with Iran if it feels like he's on the political ropes.' And so that's in his head; that's what worries me." After reviewing a few of the Trump tweets in question, Himes argued that we "need to be sensitive to the fact that this president, who doesn't have a very sophisticated sense of international relations, regards a war as a way to solve political problems — and that's a scary thought."
