## Resource

Even as the ink dries on the 60-day memorandum of understanding with Iran, attacks on American cargo ships persist. Whatever President Trump chooses as his next course of action, he must be mindful of the fast-approaching November midterms. One wrong move leads to lost Senate or House seats and two years of lawfare by the Democrats. President Trump may need to reply to Iran's attacks disproportionately or risk being a lame-duck president with only a phone and pen as power. 👉Alliance Defending Freedom - Visit JoinADF.com/HANSON or text HANSON to 83848 to give today.
