Trump: “We’re offering a very fair and reasonable DEAL, and I hope they take it because, if they don’t, the United States is going to knock out every single Power Plant, and every single Bridge, in Iran. NO MORE MR. NICE GUY! They’ll come down fast, they’ll come down easy”

6 days after Trump made 13 celebratory posts in a hour claiming that Iran surrendered to all his demands and the war is over, he’s back threatening to blow up power plants and bridges.

1. Do that and Iran will attack the Gulf states' infrastructure and the Houthis will close the Bab el-Mandeb Strait

Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump

Iran decided to fire bullets yesterday in the Strait of Hormuz — A Total Violation of our Ceasefire Agreement! Many of them were aimed at a French Ship, and a Freighter from the United Kingdom. That wasn’t nice, was it? My Representatives are going to Islamabad, Pakistan — They will be there tomorrow evening, for Negotiations. Iran recently announced that they were closing the Strait, which is strange, because our BLOCKADE has already closed it. They’re helping us without knowing, and they are the ones that lose with the closed passage, $500 Million Dollars a day! The United States loses nothing. In fact, many Ships are headed, right now, to the U.S., Texas, Louisiana, and Alaska, to load up, compliments of the IRGC, always wanting to be “the tough guy!” We’re offering a very fair and reasonable DEAL, and I hope they take it because, if they don’t, the United States is going to knock out every single Power Plant, and every single Bridge, in Iran. NO MORE MR. NICE GUY! They’ll come down fast, they’ll come down easy and, if they don’t take the DEAL, it will be my Honor to do what has to be done, which should have been done to Iran, by other Presidents, for the last 47 years. IT’S TIME FOR THE IRAN KILLING MACHINE TO END! President DONALD J. TRUMP

18. Wonder what book of the Bible

will Trump cite in this week in"America Reads the Bible" ?

As posted on earlier threads here,he is supposed to be a guest speaker.

Nothing like a Sunday morning to threaten annihalation.

[COL Mustard]

37. Clearly the rarely read Book of Donaldus, Chapter 1, Verse 1

"In the beginning, there was Donald the Almighty. I'm still here, and I will endure in your memory forever. Blessed be my Holy Name."

Or something like that.

[BattleRow]

42. The BuyBull

Special editions available for a "love" donation of a million bucks each..personally signed in 14k gold ink.

[GiqueCee]

23. It seems as though...

... Trump thinks of this fiasco as nothing more than video game, and his psychotic threats are a path to level 10 or something.
Other people are just annoying abstractions to him; they're not real.

[NoMoreRepugs]

2. Well, the tremendous rally early Friday in the stock market did give the evil cabal an

opportunity to establish their short positions for Monday morning didn’t it?? All that is needed is something to upset the fragile balance in the MidEast.

[Bettie]

14. It's becoming very clear that this

is really about stock market manipulation, the rich want to take everything, they can't countenance even the thought of anyone else having a decent life.

[GiqueCee]

21. I'm reminded of a line from the movie...

... There Will Be Blood, in which Daniel Day Lewis' character says, "I have a competition in me. I want no one else to succeed. I hate most people."
I've known people who unapologetically reflect that exact sentiment. Definitely not people you want to shake hands with before you've had the shots.

[BattleRow]

43. Or before you GET shot by their henchmen

[GiqueCee]

46. I already watch my six...

... the orcs and goblins of ICE are just getting warmed up. They've already dropped the transparent pretense of rounding up thieves and rapists; now they've started arresting journalists, bystanders, and people on their way to work that inadvertently get behind one of their vehicles. They observe no laws and violently reject any restriction on their tactics. Soon, jaywalking will be a capital offense punishable by summary execution. They have every intention of ignoring laws against armed intimidation of voters at the polls.
As long as the Orange Menace is still shitting all over the Oval Office, and his corrupt minions defile the DoJ, ICE's crimes will continue to escalate. It's gonna get worse before it gets better. If it EVER gets better.

[Auggie]

24. THIS

[COL Mustard]

38. Follow the Money.

Kind of like Toucan Sam, but for money. It always knows.

[ZDU]

3. coo coo

[bucolic_frolic]

4. Engineering and infrastructure interests are salivating

[Walleye]

5. A deal from Trump is like everything else he does cheap and shoddy

Stable international agreements, take diplomacy and time. It’s tedious and technical. Trump thinks a deal is when he can cheat and bully people. He’s never been a good businessman and he certainly not a good diplomat. Anybody can blow stuff up.

[Attilatheblond]

31. Time and TRUST, which adds the amount of time needed

Nobody in their right mind trusts Trump. He has NEVER been trustworthy. And he is an infant, he wants what he wants and he wants it NOW. But what he wants can change so fast that nobody can keep up with trying to please him; something his cabinet, aids, and GOP pols on the Hill just haven't learned.

He is insane and there is no dealing with him. Iranian leadership knows this. GOP pols on the Hill need to accept and address the fact and remove him from office, perhaps put him on trial or have him committed.

[spanone]

6. Mr. War Criminal Says What?

[BootinUp]

7. Toddler Trump has no idea how to get out

Of this mess.

[COL Mustard]

39. Blame Biden.

Or Obama. Or, hell, even Clinton or Roosevelt. But TT (Toddler Trump--stole it from you) will never accept responsibility for any damn thing.

[wnylib]

41. Or he doesn't even want to get out if it.

There's money to be made as the stock market moves up and down according to Trump's social media.posts on the war.

There are political opportunities to use during a war, e.g. threats to strip more civil liberties in the name of national security.

In the beginning, I think that he expected a quick win via threats and bombs. Always an opportunist, when he did not get a quick victory in Iran, he switched to making money from the war and threatening opponents of it.

[BootinUp]

47. He has his fingers in a lot of different baskets. nt

[agingdem]

8. If "I'm an unstable genius" is a war-winning strategy

then so is “I’m a pathological lying delusional dementia brain megalomaniac Hitler wannabe psychotic clown..and I hate brown people from shit hole countries so be afraid/be very afraid!’ …now that might work..

[W_HAMILTON]

9. How utterly embarrassing for anyone who helped allow this fucking idiot into the White House.

And that goes for both the MAGA morons on the right AND those on the left that thought letting this madman control our country again would somehow help innocent civilians in the Middle East.

[BattleRow]

16. Shame is merely a concept with this cult..

Empathy is verboten.

[CrispyQ]

19. There are still people on social media trying to rationalize their Trump vote with,

"But Harris supported Israel." "Harris took AIPAC money." "The dems are pro-Israel." Well, the dems may take AIPAC campaign money, but they never took orders from Netanyahu.

We desperately need to get big money out of our electoral process. We need publicly funded elections & scaled back campaign seasons. People are sick of the constant campaigning. How do reps, who have two year terms, get any work done, when their main focus is raising money to campaign for their next election?

[travelingthrulife]

25. Exactly this. Get the money out of elections, shorten election season to 6 weeks or so.

Also, make stock trading illegal while in office, unless in a blind trust. Take away the grifting potential and the greedbags will not be interested in running for public office. Also, they must pass a civics test before they are able to run for federal office. They have to hit the ground running and most Republicans have no clue how our government works.

No public money whatsoever if you are uber wealthy.

[CrispyQ]

45. And some type of regulation about what they can do after they've retired from congress, too,

how much of a pay package they can accept, right out of the gate. And more terms in congress to get the reitrement benefits. The whole system needs to be updated & revamped. Money does not equal speech & it's corrupted the entire system.

[BattleRow]

32. Reps are doing their work.

Lining their pockets,and feathering their nests while picking us clean.

[Skittles]

50. yes

and I cannot forgive these fucking traitors, they utterly DISGRACED America

[Renew Deal]

10. OK. And then what?

It’s basically what Russia has done in Ukraine.

[travelingthrulife]

26. War makes for maximum grifting.

We could curb profits while the war goes on. I believe that happened during WWII. If the greedy jokers in the MIC can't make money selling war toys, then war is not nearly as much fun as it should be.

[Midnight Writer]

11. Is this where we sign on to the Jared Golden appreciation thread?

[Resistance1]

12. Now that you have telegraphed your plan

The Iranians can have their citizens line the bridges and power plants so that the world can watch you commit the biggest war crime in human existence to be recorded on camera. Dumbass!

[ShepKat]

13. getting tired of these emotionally unstable men running things

Can we have women in charge for the next 250 years ?

[travelingthrulife]

27. Yes.

[TheRickles]

15. It's not that big of a challenge - there can't be more than, what, 10 or 12 bridges in all of Iran, right?

Trump's an expert in this kind of stuff, so he obviously knows what he's talking about.

[RobertDevereaux]

17. To which Iran replies...

“Every power plant and every bridge is married, not a single one at all. By the way, release the Epstein files.”

[Goonch]

20. ;-{)TRUMP ADOPTS STRATEGY OF INTENTIONALLY ACTING UNSTABLE NO MORE MR. NICE GUY

[stumpysbear]

22. The most incompetent administration in history

[COL Mustard]

40. The best President in American history...

Except for all the others, even ones like Buchanan, Fillmore, Harding, etc.

[Martin Eden]

28. Trump is determined to join his buddy Putin on the ICC arrest warrant list

Neither the USA nor Russia are members of the International Criminal Court, but many of our allies (or former allies) are.

Would they have the cojones to arrest Trump if he sets foot in their country?

[orangecrush]

29. Get him OUT NOW

Somebody, please, for the love of God and humanity.

[KPN]

30. No surprise ...

are we doomed or will it be in time if we clip his wings after the mid-terms?

Serious question. We all know the guy is totally nuts and will blow up everything to spite the world against him. He has surrounded himself with equally insane sycophants. Who will stop him?

[COL Mustard]

44. The time between the elections (Nov. 3) and the new Congress (Jan. 3) will be critical, and potentially more dangerous

Than we know. He will still have essentially unfettered power and unless someone reins him in, who knows what he will do.

[KPN]

48. Yes, completely ... and I seriously wonder whether there is or will be adequate strategizing and preparation in

place among the non-MAGA powers that be to circumvent the madness. Don't take this lightly is an understatement.

[Doodley]

33. This is how Trump has behaved his whole life---being a bully to get his own way. That isn't negotiating.

[Joinfortmill]

34. IMPEACH THE MOTHERF*CKER!

Republicans are gonna pay a HUGE price for their cowardice and greed.

[Attilatheblond]

35. Has only had 2 gears his entire life: Threaten to hurt someone and Hurting someone

Nobody in their right mind seriously thinks they can negotiate with that kind of sociopath. No point in trying.

[Talitha]

36. Do members of his 'social' group ever comment on the insane posts?

Just wondering how may support him, and how many tell him he's nuts.

[Skittles]

51. we certainly are not hearing from them as much

I think because they know their Biden whataboutism wore thin some time ago

[Kid Berwyn]

49. Confessions of a War Criminal

Food for thought when he turns his sights on domestic targets, like Detroit, Philadelphia, Washington…

[marble falls]

52. EPSTEIN!

[thought crime]

53. Sundays are for threats. Tuesdays are for Tacos.

[applegrove]

54. Most of the water used by regular Iranians is pumped

up from underground. How is bombing power plants not a war crime?

[IcyPeas]

55. Trump killed 150 or so schoolgirls.

Monster.

[Emile]

56. I would rather my tax dollars spent on Universal Healthcare. Tired of

Policing the World bs.
