Trump （選挙などの）運動をする 掴むs on Soleimani 殺人，大当り
WASHINGTON (AP) - Donald Trump once 警告するd Barack Obama not to "play the Iran card" to 上げる his political prospects by starting a war. Eight years later, Trump is showing no 不本意 to 出資する 政治上 on his order to kill a 最高の，を越す Iranian general, 製図／抽選 告訴，告発s that he is weaponizing 外交政策 for his （選挙などの）運動をする's own 伸び（る）.
Trump's （選挙などの）運動をする has used the 殺人，大当り of Qassem Soleimani, the 長，率いる of the Islamic 革命の Guard's エリート Quds 軍隊, as a cudgel against the 大統領，／社長's Democratic political 競争相手s and to コースを変える attention from his 差し迫った 告発 裁判，公判 in the 上院.
"Americans want to see their 大統領 事実上の／代理 decisively and defending the nation´s 利益／興味s and that´s 正確に／まさに what 大統領 Trump did," Trump （選挙などの）運動をする 広報担当者 Tim Murtaugh said.
"共和国の／共和党のs are good at 殺人，大当り テロリストs and this is a 思い出の品 of that," 追加するd Michael Ahrens, communications director of the 共和国の／共和党の 国家の 委員会.
The 大統領，／社長 was 推定する／予想するd to amplify those messages on Thursday in Toledo, Ohio, during his first （選挙などの）運動をする 決起大会／結集させる since the drone strike last week. Trump´s （選挙などの）運動をする 購入（する）d 広告s on Facebook 最高潮の場面ing the Soleimani 殺人，大当り.
The 米国防総省 said Soleimani "was 活発に developing 計画（する）s to attack American 外交官s and service members in Iraq and throughout the 地域." But the Trump 行政 has 辞退するd to 供給する any 明確な／細部 （警察などへの）密告，告訴（状） about the nature or タイミング of the 申し立てられた／疑わしい 陰謀（を企てる）s, leaving Trump open to 疑惑s that the attack was driven, at least in part, by a belief that it might help him in the 投票s.

Those around the 大統領，／社長 堅固に 解任する any suggestion of political 動機. But they have been happy to use the 殺人，大当り to contrast Trump with his Democratic 競争相手s, 絵 him as a strong leader and 告発する／非難するing 民主党員s of appeasing Iran with a failed 外交政策 approach.
にもかかわらず the short shelf life of most Trump news stories, Trump 補佐官s 認めるd すぐに that the strike - 認可するd by the 大統領，／社長 at his 私的な club in Florida during his winter break - could play an outsize 役割 in the 近づいている （選挙などの）運動をする, 特に if Iran 報復するd and the 地域 descended into 大混乱.
That シナリオ began to play out Tuesday night when Iran 解雇する／砲火／射撃d a 一連の 弾道学の ミサイルs at two Iraqi bases 住宅 U.S. 軍隊／機動隊s and 警告するd the 部隊d 明言する／公表するs and its 同盟（する）s in the 地域 not to 答える／応じる in 肉親，親類d.
The 大統領，／社長 himself told one confidant that he 手配中の，お尋ね者 to 配達する a 警告 to Iran not to mess with American 資産s. And he was eager to 事業／計画（する） an image of strength and replicate the message he 配達するd late last year after 認可するing the （警察の）手入れ，急襲 that killed Islamic 明言する／公表する leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi: The U.S. will 追跡（する） 負かす／撃墜する its enemies anywhere in the world.
The al-Baghdadi 殺人，大当り has become a 中心的要素 in Trump´s （選挙などの）運動をする 広告s and at his 決起大会／結集させるs, and Soleimani´s death was 推定する／予想するd to receive 類似の 治療.
"ANOTHER dead テロリスト," 宣言するd the 支配する line of a Sunday （選挙などの）運動をする email 爆破, which 述べるd Soleimani as a "monster 責任がある THOUSANDS of American deaths."
The 大統領，／社長 （選挙などの）運動をするd on the 二重の 約束s of getting 堅い on Iranian 侵略 a nd 身を引くing U.S. 軍隊／機動隊s from overseas entanglements - 優先s seemingly at 半端物s with one another in the wake of the strike. Trump has 増加するd the number of 軍隊／機動隊s in the 地域 since he took office, にもかかわらず his 約束 to end the "endless wars" in the Middle East.
Trump´s 外交政策, dating 支援する to his first （選挙などの）運動をする, has always had its 内部の inconsistencies: As much as Trump 押し進めるd the drawdown of 軍隊／機動隊s in Iraq and Afghanistan, he 約束d nightly to "爆弾 the hell out of ISIS" and has been eager to strike a posture of American 軍の strength.
But Trump 補佐官s 表明するd 信用／信任 that the 大統領，／社長's 支持者s would not punish him for prioritizing one over the other, at least in the short 称する，呼ぶ／期間／用語. Instead, they argued that 的ing what they called テロリスト leaders had little to do with prospects for a 長引いた ground war. And they argued that the 殺人，大当り could be used to create their own 見解／翻訳／版 of Obama's 非公式の 2012 スローガン, "Osama 貯蔵所 Laden is dead and General モーターs is alive."
At the same time, Trump's （選挙などの）運動をする and White House have tried to use Democratic 批評 of the 大統領，／社長's 殺人，大当り of Soleimani to paint party members as 過激な and out of touch.
Two of Trump's 競争相手s, Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth 過密な住居 and Vermont Sen. Bernie やすりを削る人／削る機械s called Soleimani´s 殺人，大当り an 暗殺 - a label that 暗示するs a political rather than 国家の 安全 動機.
Trump's 助言者s, 一方／合間, are out to make the 事例／患者 that the 大統領，／社長 continues to tend to the nation´s 商売／仕事 - in this 事例／患者, the 排除／予選 of a dangerous adversary - while 民主党員s obsess over 告発. 補佐官s also believe the （警察の）手入れ，急襲 can be used to 最高潮の場面 possible 外交政策 vulnerabilities of possible 対抗者s, 含むing former 副大統領 Joe Biden´s support for the 人気がない Iraq War and 示唆するing 過密な住居 and やすりを削る人／削る機械s are unwilling to stand up to 全世界の bad guys.
"FACT: 大統領 Trump Is きれいにする Up Joe Biden's Iran Mess," the （選挙などの）運動をする wrote in a Monday email 爆破 that slammed the "Obama-Biden" Iran 核の 取引，協定 as a 災害 and （刑事）被告 them of a 政策 of appeasement that emboldened Iran.
In the Democratic 指名するing contest, 外交政策 has yet to become a 前線-burner 問題／発行する, even as Biden, the leader in most 国家の 投票s, has tried 断続的に to 出資する on his long 任期 on the world 行う／開催する／段階. Biden on Tuesday scorched Trump for his "危険に incompetent" 扱うing of Iran, first by abandoning the 多国間の 核の 取引，協定, then 非難する into 許可／制裁s and ordering Soleimani´s 殺人，大当り without 協議するing 議会 or U.S. 同盟（する）s.
"I said not long ago that as the 塀で囲むs の近くに in on this 大統領，／社長, I worried that he was going to get us in war with Iraq, as the ultimate wag the dog," Biden said at a fundraiser, where he twice appeared to 混乱させる Iraq with Iran.
Yet the 審議 over the 知恵 of 殺人，大当り Soleimani has also divided some 共和国の／共和党のs, 含むing the two most popular personalities at Fox News Channel: Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity. The two 一般に reach more than 3 million テレビ視聴者s apiece in the 網状組織´s prime-time 顔触れ, often 含むing the 大統領，／社長 himself.
Carlson has questioned the 大統領，／社長's move, 説 it perplexes him Trump 支持者s who have taken a skeptical 見解（をとる） of the 知能 community now unquestioningly 受託するs its 査定／評価 of 未来 脅しs from Iran.
"It seems like just 20 minutes ago we were 公然と非難するing these same people as `the 深い 明言する／公表する´ and 誓約（する）ing never to 信用 them again without 立証," Carlson said on Monday night´s show.
Hannity, whose show 直接／まっすぐに follows Carlson´s on Fox, 申し込む／申し出d a typically 十分な-throated 弁護 of the 大統領，／社長 Monday and said "the 暴徒, the マスコミ, the Democratic Party" are distraught over Trump´s 抱擁する success.
Trump, who has a long history of obfuscation and exaggeration, has 主張するd that his move 妨げるd an 切迫した attack and was 令状d given Soleimani's past 行為／行う.
"He was planning a very big attack and a very bad attack for us, and other people, and we stopped him. And I don't think anybody can complain about it," Trump told reporters Tuesday in the Oval Office.
Yet Trump himself has 燃料d 憶測 about leaders starting wars for their own 利益.
"ーするために get elected, @BarackObama will start a war with Iran," Trump tweeted in November 2011, 警告 a year later: "Don't let Obama play the Iran card ーするために start a war ーするために get elected--be careful 共和国の／共和党のs!"
