Democratic leaders were outspoken during the massive US military buildup in the Middle East,
⭐️decrying his unwillingness to engage with Congress and lack of long-term strategy for Iran.
🔸They noted that it was Trump, during his first term, who shredded Barack Obama’s nuclear agreement with Iran.
Once the US and Israeli military struck on Saturday, the sharpest voices accused the president of riding roughshod over the constitution.

"And so the state of Trump is that he is stuck. He is failing at fascism. He can break things, but he cannot make things. He can bluster, but he cannot triumph. He is tired, and every day is harder than the day before, and there are rivals in the wings, and elections coming."

Oh, I see that news.google.com is now re-writing headlines. Or at least synthesizing them from URLs. Whatever the method, what Google shows in its news is not the same as on the article if actually viewed by a reader.
For instance in the following article the actual headline is:

Even before extremist Republican Donald Trump returned to the Oval Office on January 20,
