In a passionate and fiery defense of the choice, Ronny Jackson reflected on his experience sitting in the Situation Room during the operation. He praised Trump’s leadership, stating that the president had looked over all the intelligence and had made the “absolute right call.” As a former combat doctor in the Marine Corps, Jackson recalled the horrors of war: “I saw many of them die…and it was all because of Soleimani.” A faction found his impassioned presentation persuasive, while others merely dismissed it as political theater.

The lone tweet speaks in favor of the operation in contrast with the two camps evident in the response. One sarcastically retorted, “Hey look, another perfectly trained audience member for this reality-TV produced presidency,” mocking, of course, Jackson’s position. “Israel could turn to a parking lot tomorrow and America would be fine, actually. Stop the lying.”
In contrast, the supporters rocket up with gratitudes: “Thank you Ronny for your service,” one supporter commented, while another said, “My coffee is SO tasty this morning. So proud to be an American.” The opposition tells its side: one said, “Trump is the weakest president in American history,” while another accused Jackson of choosing his “cult over family,” implying their own sons might get drafted.
But things darkened. One provoked with a claim about retaliatory attacks,oths] that the “Shia terrorists” would enter the U.S. through “Biden’s open borders,” while another dismissed the whole affair as a “dumpster fire,” adding, “blood on Trump’s hands.” Indeed, conspiracy theories resurfaced, questioning whether gestures made by a general during the announcement constituted some kind of coded signals.
At least for some, Jackson’s military background certainly added credence, whereas others totally dismissed it. “You sound coherent. You finally off the alcohol?” mocked one detractor, an allusion to past controversy. Meanwhile, songbirds defended Trump, saying that Trump “made his decision on the information he has gathered, not from paid influencers blowing crap up your a$$.”
All in all, the thread turned into a vessel containing the divided American political atmosphere-part victory lap, part battleground. The unshakable defense of Trump’s decision coming from Jackson illustrated the devotion that the former president commands in his base world, yet opposition came fiercely from those who view this operation as reckless and self-serving.

Nevertheless, what is beyond question amid the mounting tide of tension is that this operation had reopened the field at all—a foreign intervention, presidential authority, and national security, with both camps seemingly unmoving in their institutional position. The operator has got to be decided by history, so is this operation the savior of the world or its destabilizer, while the present is surely a digital battleground.
