Trump's psychotic "shoot and kill any boat, small boats though they may be" Fatwa should help the "peace talks"

The war, which the president claims the US has already won, has now been raging since the beginning of March and, despite White House announcements of a ceasefire, it continues with constant skirmishes.

That type of fighting appears to be accelerating with a presidential announcement on Truth Social on Thursday morning.

“I have ordered the United States Navy to shoot and kill any boat, small boats though they may be (Their naval ships are ALL, 159 of them, at the bottom of the sea!), that is putting mines in the waters of the Strait of Hormuz. There is to be no hesitation,” he wrote.

He added, “Additionally, our mine ‘sweepers’ are clearing the Strait right now. I am hereby ordering that activity to continue, but at a tripled up level! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP.”

Sometimes you just have to do the math, and no matter how you add this one up, yeah...the murders that started with 160 innocent Iranian school children seem to have Trump in a perpetual state of arousal.

He has a half-billion dollar "war chest" that he COULD use to help Republicans in the Midterms, but I'd say chances are high that he'll just KEEP it. Then again, he could use it to fund a primary challenger to anyone who finds their spine and speaks out.
