In this installment of A Closer Look, Seth examines Donald Trump's appointees testifying before Congress and Trump's desire for regime change in Cuba (0:01). Despite previously promising to end foreign wars, Trump's current stance represents a dramatic shift toward active intervention (1:33).
Key highlights include:
- The New 'Lion' Philosophy: Supporters now justify US intervention in the Western Hemisphere, with one official calling the US the "dominant predator" in the region (2:02).
- Defending Dueling: During a hearing, Senator Mark Wayne Mullen bizarrely defended the legality of dueling between consenting adults (2:52).
- Tulsi Gabbard's Reversal: Once a critic of foreign wars, Gabbard is now grilled for omitting statements that contradicted President Trump regarding Iran (6:02).
- Invasion Plans for Cuba: Trump mused about invading Cuba, falsely claiming it is not in a hurricane zone (7:08).
- B2 Bomber Obsession: Trump jokingly talked about hugging a model of a B2 bomber (9:57).
Ultimately, Seth argues that the administration's claims of being anti-war were untrue, and they are primarily focused on asserting power (10:40).
