Difference between eventual and imminentTry a different dictionary, not that he or any other politician has displayed perfect word use, he is certainly no wordsmith.Imminent is a relative term, you'll agree. Not worth quibbling in the long run.Trump didn’t lie about what happened?Janitors don't see much so your claim is a lie. On the other hand, anybody with internet, and a brain, can quickly figure out where we are positioned.
But, Trump didn't lie about what happened. Unlike your festering hero, the obummer did.
Then why did he claim “an imminent threat “ and then back down when asked to identify the threat ?
No, imminent means time is of the essence
It means you have identified a specific threat
Trump said he had and now is walking it back
We have all heard predictions of earthquakes describe as imminent, that did not occur for years.
imminent (adj.)
1520s, from Middle French imminent (14c.) and directly from Latin imminentem (nominative imminens) "overhanging; impending," present participle of imminere "to overhang, lean towards," hence "be near to," also "threaten, menace, impend, be at hand, be about to happen," from assimilated form of in- "into, in, on, upon" (from PIE root *en "in") + -minere "jut out," which is related to mons "hill" (from PIE root *men- (2) "to project"). Related: Imminently.
Does anyone doubt, Iran and/or proxies would strike again, on American or allied targets? It has been common enough in the past, kind of like earthquake predictions.
I had no doubt. I have no real regret at his action.
Iran wasn’t striking US targets before Trump
The US Embassy in Iraq is not a US target? Do tell us more!
