The co-hosts of “The View” speculated during an interview with former Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel that the war on Iran was launched to tamper with the Epstein files.
Emanuel, who is believed to be a possible candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination, spoke about the ongoing war in Iran during an appearance on “The View.” He warned that ultimately, the biggest responsibility of any leader in the White House is making difficult decisions between “bad and bad,” saying President Donald Trump has clearly chosen the latter.
“We have a president who makes a decision – every president before him rejected this idea because it doesn’t work,” he said. “If Iran doesn’t show up, and we don’t have a plan to open the Strait of Hormuz, maybe, for the purposes of strengthening, they put our young men and women at risk.”
“We know he has no talent. I think he’s gifted. Why do you think he got in there?” asked host Joy Behar. “What could be another reason why we did this?”

“Because we stopped talking about the Epstein files,” suggested guest host Whitney Cummings. “It worked well.”
“Do you agree with that?” Behar asked, “Because I agree with that.”
“He could have given a different speech about denuclearization, the delivery of missiles, terrorist organizations and the disruption of Iran. But when he jumped on the tracks on the change of the political regime, and so on, first of all, you can’t do that in the air. It has never been done in the war,” replied Emanuel.
Emanuel went on to say that after Trump’s success in Venezuela and possible plans in Cuba, the president considered a decisive victory in Iran “his road to Mount Rushmore.”
Behar also said that the war in Iran is being used as a distraction.
“But it also keeps people out of the economy, it keeps people out of the Epstein files,” Behar said as the panelists agreed. However, I think all we are talking about is Iran, Iran, Iran now. “

Emanuel went on to joke that it’s no news to anyone that Trump is something of a narcissist.
He went on to say that the biggest problem of US presidents in the White House every day is that they pass by the works of art every day of great American presidents and historical figures of the past, thinking of themselves as successors.
The best way to help presidents, he said, would be, “Take all those down and put Tyler, Buchanan, Pierce, all the bad guys, because by the time they get to the Oval Office, their heads are going to explode.”
“You know what? Governance is a choice,” concluded Emanuel. “You made a bad choice.”
The White House responded to Emanuel’s comments in a statement to Fox News Digital.
“Rahm Emanuel congratulated Barack Hussein Obama when he entered into the Iran Nuclear Deal that enriched the terrorist regime in Iran and allowed its evil behavior. Previous presidents like Obama talked about the threat posed by Iran for 47 years, but only President Trump had the courage to act – now, the Iranian ballistic missile capabilities, nuclear weapons capabilities and nuclear weapons capabilities, nuclear weapons capabilities and dream power are degrading by the day, “said the spokesperson of the White House.
