Trump threatens to blow Iran ‘off the face of the earth’ if it attacks US vessels

Donald Trump has threatened that Iran will be “blown off the face of the earth” if it attacks US vessels trying to reopen a route through the strait of Hormuz.
The US launched an operation on Monday to help hundreds of ships trapped with their crews in the Gulf, dragging the region back to the brink of full-scale war.
Over 800 ships and roughly 20,000 crew members remain stranded in the region.
Threatening war crimes again, eh?
Part of his 100 point plan for distracting from the Epstein files.
Once you're doing warcrimes weekly they just let you get away with raping kids apparently
Or vice versa
A negative times a negative.
Please lose the midterms and get dragged out of office, it would be so funny
Honestly even if Congress is swept by Democrats, I would be completely unsurprised if the controlled opposition faction of the DNC (read: the vast majority of them) does nothing at all due to how diViSiVE it would be. And even if they do, the Tribunal of Six will probably try to declare impeachment unconstitutional or something like that.
I really hope Americans have learned something from this and that is to not elect demented pedophiles to be presidents FUCKING TWICE, third time's the charm right? right?? And while everyone else is trying to deescalate the situation he and his "top" officials are trying to make it as difficult as possible to reach a peaceful solution.
come on now you think the yanks have learned something? they haven't learned a thing for decades. Did they learn anything after Reagan? Bush Senior? Bush Jr twice? you honestly expect them to figure it out NOW?
A good percentage of the US population would elect Satan himself as long as he was "sticking it to the liberals."
... and claim Satan was actually Jesus all along
Satan as in Lucifer? The light bringer? The symbol of knowledge and enlightened thought? That Satan?
Would be way better than what we have right now.
It could be worse. We accidentally voted for an orangutan. But it could have been a WOMAN OF COLOR! Really dodged one there... /s
Be nice to orangutans, they're so chill. They can't help that a reviled wannabe dictator dyed himself orange for some stupid reason. :(
I'd vote for president actual-orangutan over of any of the garbage choices we keep getting.
A baked potato would cause less chaos than this monster.
Americans have no such self-awareness. The ones that do do everything in their power to leave the country or isolate themselves in communes and imply don't participate.
Tempting, to just go inna woods and run from society, but from what I've seen the ones that have self awareness are actually flooding the streets across the country with protests and getting teargassed and stuff.
I get that the internet can be a collective jar to sigh and vent into but let's not discount the sacrifices many are making because they believe tomorrow can be better.
All you had to do is not do the stupid blockade, Iran at that point was ready to open the damn strait, ships were going through. Now we 'll have stupid pointless escalations because fuck the global trade
All you had to do is not do the damn blockade, DJ!
All he had to do was not shred the Iran deal we already had in place (and was working) because it was negotiated and put into effect under a president who was black.
What exactly does he think "closed" means?
The same thing he thinks women and children's closed legs means.
I know it's a joke, but people who don't know what they are doing are relatively easy to predict.
Content warning: needless uninvited pedantry ahead
Trump acts like a toddler. And any parent can tell you that predicting the inevitably dumb behavior of your toddler isn't rocket science.
He's so predictably stupid and selfish that most of the time, everyone else but him knows what he's doing. It's a fun meme but I think the reality is the opposite.
🤣🤣
So are we at war or not? Last week he said the war was over because there was a cease fire in place. Then, over the weekend, when asked about gas prices, he said they’d drop immediately “after the war was over.” So which is it, donnie? Make up your mind, you brainless pos.
I wish the press would collectively start talking to him this way at conferences. Word for word. 😂
No backsies!
