If Iran doesn’t FULLY OPEN, WITHOUT THREAT, the Strait of Hormuz, within 48 HOURS from this exact point in time, the United States of America will hit and obliterate their various POWER PLANTS, STARTING WITH THE BIGGEST ONE FIRST! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP
Giving out an ultimatum to blow up civilian infrastructure is a war crime right
He can’t actually do this. This would turn a lot of fencesitters against the USA, and give them a very clear and legally justifiable reason to do so.
I mean, in no way am I super confident in this theory but there is something off to me about how egregious his posts were today.
Oh yeah the orange turd only does logical and legal things have you not been paying attention?
I have, and that’s my point.
Obviously he’s done stupid shit. But as far as I can see, this is the only time he’s issued such a specific threat with a agressively specific deadline…ever? And it happens to be an obvious and very serious war crime.
And right after a tweet that goes out of its way to be extremely tasteless, even for Trump.
It’s just…off. His bluster doesn’t usually scare me, at all. This one scares me.
Right. Since he’s been much worse than usual today, I’m thinking he had a bad meeting with his lobbyist friends this morning, and all of them said, “Get this shit solved or we’re impeaching your ass and getting something figured out with Vance”.
And Trump doesn’t care about fencesitters. He’s hoping he’ll come out ahead should he keep the lobbyists on his side.
Have you not seen all of his recent responses which are, verbatim, “I can do whatever I want.”?
Oh I’m aware of what he thinks. But that rarely reflects reality.
