So Trump just told the US Navy to "shoot down" Iranian boats....

How do you shoot down a boat?

Don't you shoot down planes?

This guy is dumber than a box of rocks....


Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump tweeted Wednesday that he has instructed the US Navy to "shoot down and destroy any and all Iranian gunboats" that harass US ships.

"I have instructed the United States Navy to shoot down and destroy any and all Iranian gunboats if they harass our ships at sea," Trump wrote.

No matter what he does, no matter where he goes, no matter what he does, his name will be forever associated w/ the CV.

Or, better known as the TRUMP virus.
