Trump’s War on Iran, Canada, and Us | The Coffee Klatch for August 29, 2026

Friends,

Today Heather and I examine what Trump is doing as his war on Iran — which he promised would be over in “four to five weeks” — now exceeds six months, with no end in sight. Eager to show that he can still dominate and bully, he’s declared a nonsensical trade war on Canada. And he’s escalated his war on human rights here in the United States. It’s pathetic and also dangerous.

Please pull up a chair, grab a cuppa, and join the conversation.
