Regarding the impact of Trump's dangerous rhetoric about Iran, retired US Army Brigadier General Steve Anderson stated on a program: It is so sorry to see the degradation to the American culture and the way of life that Donald Trump is executing every day. The US is acting like a predatory bully. He says Trump is embarrassing the US every day and dragging the country down, adding that the US now has no allies. He also states that the Republican Party is letting down the nation and they're disobeying their own oath of office by not standing up and exercising their rights as the Congress of the United States.
