Donald Trump said Sunday that if no peace deal is reached with Iran in the next 48 hours, “we’re blowing up the entire country.”
The president made the threat Sunday to ABC News’ senior political correspondent Rachel Scott in response to a question regarding whether his previously stated timeline of two to three weeks for a deal was still accurate.
Concerns have been raised about targeting civilian infrastructure in Iran and the consequences that could bring.
To think that in the interest of electoral fairness, we let this guy be president again instead of putting him in a prison for life where he absolutely belongs.
To any democratic strategists out there who might be reading my post, if you want my attention, start getting your candidate to talk loudly and often about how they will punish Trump and every single member of his administration on Day 1. Lifetime prison sentences for Epstein related coverups. Hangings for treason, war crimes and crimes against humanity. Lengthy prison sentences for fraudsters who are insider trading and former DOGE staffers. Restitution to be paid back to the American taxpayers for the theft and embezzlement of tax dollars. Anything less that that is a mockery of justice.
100%. All these people saying we can’t win on MAGA Punishment can go to prison, too. I have my pet issues too like Universal Health Care and Campaign Finance Reform, but I recognize that we’re NEVER get this country back on track and reach a point where we can address those issues in good faith, until we deal with MAGA as the genuine National Security Threat that they truly are.
My candidate is the one that says, “The moment I’m sworn in, I will issue arrest warrants for every MAGA leader, and send them to Guantanamo Bay for extensive interrogation.” We will audit every account they controlled, personal, business, and governmental, and charge them for every single count they violated, and confiscate their entire fortunes and assets.
That’s the candidate that I will support. Any that blurt shit like “We need to come together,” is automatically disqualified in my eyes.

When a person has the means to commit genocide, is inclined to commit genocide, and has promised to commit genocide, does that create a moral imperative to kill that person? Asking for a friend.
And just a few minutes ago he said openly and directly that he was going to destroy their entire culture.
i think stopping a genocide is an ANTI-war crime.

I don’t have a clue what you’re going on about.
Good. Then my plan is working as intended.
americans showed the whole world they wanted this, he’s what represents them and it was their choice on the land of the free
And when a Democratic president gets in, the Americans will be like, “Oh, but we’ve changed! We’re going to be much better now! Really!”.
It’s like a psychotic ex-boyfriend begging you to take him back, because he’s really sorry and will do better next time. Promise!
I pray the world never forgives America for all this. I certainly won’t as a Canadian. If a century of good will and allyship can get pissed down the drain in mere months, why should any nation ever trust America again?

Reminds me of this classic Andy Griffith Show scene from the Opie and the Bully episode.
“So you want to fight? Step across this line. Alright, knock this off my shoulder, I dare you. So you wanna fight huh? Just step inside this circle.” 😆
We watched all but the last season or two of Andy Griffith during covid. Once Barney left we left.
Yeah, the series definitely overstayed it’s welcome.
I wish we had made the decision to drop Facts of Life earlier those last two seasons are painful.
This guy has never had any clue what he’s doing, only what he wants and how to get it. Now, he’s finally hit something completely out of his grasp and just like any narcissist, he’s not handling it well.
He will continue to chew through the entire world consuming people, economies, countries, and society until he’s stopped. This is the danger of dictators.
We’ve all been warning the Iran hawks this wouldn’t end well if they tried, for 25 years or more. This president is the only one dumb, and compromised by Israel enough, to not listen.
This comment could have been posted word-for-word in February/March 2020 and it would have had the exact same meaning. Even if Trump completely blunders this conflict it will ultimately be someone else’s mess to clean up.
If? What hasn’t he blundered?
Imo he has been looking for any excuse to launch a nuclear bomb since he first became president. I don’t even think he cares why, how, or who he ends up using it on, even if it’s his own people. As long as he gets to use his ultimate power as president and press that big button. And as long as he isn’t personally affected he won’t even give it a second thought.
I firmly believe he WILL nuke someone before his term is up if nobody stops him. I firmly believe people have already stopped him before.
He is the only person stupid enough to do it. I feel they’ll carpet bomb Teheran or something like that first, but since the army of Iran is decentralized it won’t do much. It would be a great excuse for the martial law in US if he drops a nuke. His insanity and the death cult around him makes him so fucking dangerous. Hegseth did a purge in the army, if they have only yes men left they will have no pushback from them.
Israel is the only one reckless enough to do it actually.
Problem is, Trump is listening to Israel.
Listening is a charitable way to put it. The president is the bitch of, he is being blackmailed by, would be more accurate.
Nevertheless, even he wouldn’t nuke them right now, Israel would. What the president would do, is bomb their nuclear reactors making a dirty bomb of sorts.
Israel is pushing the envelope with the genocide, they have like 90 nukes, they are probably waging if they can get away with it.
there is no big button that trump presses, that is the myth. the suitcase being carried with him, for some strange reason called nuclear football, is basically just a sat-phone that connects him to some joint chiefs operations center. from there, there is a long chain of command leading to some soldiers in silo somewhere, who actually have the button. anyone in that chain of command can still say no and break the chain.
The “big red button” is a metaphor.
bad one, since it can give you really incorrect impression, like “trump can one day wake up and press the big red button”. which he can’t do, because there is no such button. good metaphors try to help understand the thing they describe, this one does exactly the opposite.
Uh, interesting (and horrifying) theory. I wonder how his bootlicking allies would explain that away. Like Germany’s Merz going “we have to evaluate first whether dropping a nuclear bomb really constitutes a war crime. Maybe it was warranted and he had good reasons to do it” and then just never speak of it again and pretend everything’s fine.
His booklickers are locked in, no matter what. It’s basically mental illness. I expect they’d frame it as him saving us, as an Iranian nuclear attack was imminent.
He wants to be remembered, and he knows that there’s only one reason people remember Truman
Imo he has been looking for any excuse to launch a nuclear bomb since he first became president
I think I’d prefer he bombed a hurricane.

That’s exactly my thought too. And it makes me feel upset when I know there’s no one there to prevent him.
No longer does the country collectively agree to push forward on war. Now it’s just one guy who triggers very easily. WTF!?
It’s not just 1 guy, it’s most of the current administration. And 84% of the people that voted for Trump, still stand by their vote!!
I think your math is old. Trump is the least popular potus ever across all population sectors now.
I keep hearing this and I also keep reading how those same people who now think he’s unpopular, also voted for him 3 times and would vote for him again.
You have to take into consideration that the dumbest people are often the loudest- what we’re seeing is a equivalent of the village idiots screaming while throwing shit around the room because they’re afraid of losing the space they’ve carved out on social media. These are the dumbest humans on the entire planet- less resourceful and less intelligent than ancient neanderthals. They exist solely to pull the human race down, and the fact that their comments are often rife with the worst takes you’ve ever seen and some of the worst grammar possible is a testament to their functional illiteracy. They can read and write, but they’re wholly incapable of rational and intelligent thought.
Stats don’t lie, MAGA does
Have the day you
voted forgot as a result of election rigging.And I don’t say this as a “sore loser”. I say that trump rigged the 2024 election, because in August/September/October of 2024, trump had been saying repeatedly that he rigged the upcoming election.
Then towards October he was saying there won’t be a need for any more elections. That it was fixed so hard that he’s already the president forever.
Now, lack of fundamental understanding of mortality aside, he’s essentially admitted that he’s corrupted our government from the inside.
And you know the fucked up part? He won’t face consequences. If someone in a position to change things finds evidence, that evidence won’t be released until the year 2100. They only released the JFK files last year. He’ll be long dead by the time anyone comes out and says there was a corrupt election.
The numbers are 3 days old, and were posted here.
He’s so unpopular, he can start a war on twatter while shitting, and the whole country happily does what he wants no question asked.
Could you imagine if a female was president. Just running everything on feelings and emotions.
And that one guy is Netanyahu
Always has been
I live in a country where this one guy, all by himself, is allowed to just decide to murder thousands and thousands of people just because he wants to, over and over again. And, there’s no consequences, no check, no pushback, nothing that the other 300 million of us can do about it. Why do we tolerate this? Why is this just accepted as normal, even by the majority of people who disagree with him? I just cannot get over what a shit country the US is. Our government, our politics, our media, our culture, the people who live here are just endlessly awful. Will some nation, please just fucking do something about us?
The problem is, this very very tiny portion of like minded evil people have installed themselves via politics or capitalism into untouchable roles which drive the country in any way they wish, regardless of what the majority wants. And even physical violence isn’t really a protest option as the police and military are some of the organizations they control. So the US is basically the same as China or Russia now.
I trust China more than i trust the United States of Trump.
They’re all run by psychotic dictators, but at least Pooh bear isn’t threatening entire countries over twitter…
What a bar Donny has set.
I mean there’s a whole military that executes it. A bit less than half of America still wants it. It’s not really one guy, it’s a large part of society. It’s not one against 300 million, it’s 150 million against 140 million or some shit.
As of March, substantially less than half (closer to 1/3). I’d imagine it’s even lower now: https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/2026/03/25/americans-broadly-disapprove-of-u-s-military-action-in-iran/
I’m not saying that he’s doing it all himself, but he’s the one deciding to do it. This latest ‘stone age’ threat is all him. You’d think that a machine as large and powerful as our military would require more than one guy’s whim to move into action. BYW, I’m not absolving everyone else of responsibility. Everyone who decides to follow the orders is culpable.
As someone who doesn’t live in your country, I think I speak for a lot of people that we will never forgive America as a whole for what has happened under Trump.
Because bombing Iran has been a thing in republican politics for ever.

“we’re blowing up the entire country.”
What country is that? USA?
For those not aware, Trump is actively destroying USA not Iran.
For every escalation USA is just making it worse for themselves.No nukes! Somebody please stop that idiot from using nukes!!
Everyone and his dog will be getting a nuclear weapon if that happens. The future of humanity will be very bleak indeed.
Israel would rather rule over Hell on Earth before admitting defeat and facing international scrutiny for real this time
If they use one they are going to very quickly become the first nation made entirely of glass.
will be
That’s future tense. I think you mean “has been since 1945”
What do you mean? Nukes ensure stability, do you think anyone would attack a nuclear Iran?
Nukes mean not using them.
John Kiriakou (ex CIA whistleblower) mentioned in an interview that Israel threatened to use a nuke in the 12 day war last June which prompted Trump to bomb Fordow and Natanz with B2 bombers.
Zionist fanatic Sheldon Adelson advocated nuking Iran a few years ago. Zionist war criminal Ben Gvir was asked on israeli TV why they haven’t used a neutron bomb on Iran yet and he grinned.
Theres a real danger that Netanyahu uses a nuke or orders Trump to do it given the Zionists 30 year desire to destroy Iran. Trump is just a puppet.

But we saved gaza, right?
Right?
It’s too bad your favorite cop thought supporting a genocide was more important than winning the election. Alas, your candidate was shit.
I’d argue the people who thought their smug self righteousness was more important are shit myself.
But hey, now we all get to live in this hell right? Or not live I guess.
Let me get this straight
refusing to stop supporting genocide: not shit
refusing to support a genocide: shit
If you just have to take whatever crap politicians shove down your throat instead of making demands of them why do you care about anything Trump does. If you love the boot that much then shut up and take it.
Sorry for being ‘self righteous’ about a literal genocide you fucking ghoul. If you’re unwilling to exercise electoral leverage to stop a genocide then just abandon the entire concept of democracy. It is not the left’s fault that Kamala and the DNC thought the genocide must continue at all costs.
Voting against Hitler isn’t garbage because those in opposition could have influenced Harris or used their intact democracy to work on the issue by primaring dems.
The destruction of usaid alone will cause millions of preventable deaths including many kids. The stadium full of dead kids doesn’t care about your feelings
Yeah but they saved gaza!
Only they didnt. If anything their efforts have started to associate anti-genocide with a disaster like trump and practically guarantee people either switch off in disgust of their rethoric or just jump to the other side to avoid all the tankie bullshit.
‘disgusting anti-genocide rhetoric’ literally burn it all down if that’s where we’re at.
started to associate anti-genocide with a disaster like trump
So you’re saying your party is so pro-genocide that they can’t even convince people they meet Republican moral standards, which basically don’t exist.

Maybe harris should have thought it was worth not supporting a genocide to prevent that then.
You guys still haven’t caught on that you’re missing the core of this. There were 2 groups that refused to budge which allowed trump to take power. One group refused to support a genocide, one group refused to stop supporting a genocide.
So how the fuck are libs more mad about the anti-genocide group for refusing to budge? Seems worth being stubborn about to me, you know, if you think genocide is bad.
I would have maybe a single ounce of sympathy for the lib side of this argument if the stakes were lower. ‘You don’t always get everything you want’ is a hell of a lot more convincing if the left had refused to play ball over healthcare reform or something. But jesus christ ‘don’t do genocide’ is the lowest possible bar to clear and Kamala still refused.
Harris isn’t responsible for how we vote that is our and only our responsibility.
They did the beat job providing a convincing platform they knew how obviously insufficient but she like us got one vote
Harris is absolutely responsible for her platform being pro-genocide what are you on about. It is the candidate’s job to appeal to voters, all she offered to the left was ‘I’m not him so you have to vote for me’. Turns out we didn’t have to. I’m not going to leave the house to maybe get 99% hitler with 1% handwringing instead of 100% hitler.
- Organizations other than the CIA are capable of distributing food and vaccines
So you don’t care how many poor people die as long as “US bad”. I’m glad their lives are bargain chips to you
Unlike the Gazan lives that you definitely aren’t willing to concede as bargaining chips.

Not voting says you are happy for either candidate to win, not that you want neither to win. If you want that option, campaign for PR. What is your plan to get rid of Trump now?
your favorite cop
Most of us don’t like Kamala, but we voted for her because we’re not fucking morons.
Who was your candidate?
The arrogance behind that statement is disgusting.
He’s right! That Communist Kamala would have sided with Israel and gaza would be nothing more than a pile of rubble.
If it wasn’t for Trump, both the Ukraine war and the Israeli war on Gaza would still be happening! Fuck think of all the dogs and the cats he’s saved in Bumfuck Nebraska from those immigrants!
^…checks notes…^ fuck.
‘you stupid lefties wouldn’t settle for sacrificing tens of thousands of Gazans so that we could go back to brunch, I bet you sure regret it’
-person who still hasn’t questioned why sacrificing Gaza was a foregone conclusion
One note Gaza Gaza Gaza. I don’t hear you fucks ever talk about all the other suffering in the world due to Trump and his regime, just Gaza.
Almost like your arguments are all bullshit and you’re just shills for all parties who want to tear down the Western world.
If you were eligible to vote in the US general election, and you didn’t vote for Harris in November, you helped Trump win. Simple as that.
‘just shut up about the genocide I wanted to ignore’ No. Everything trump has done so far still pales in comparison to Gaza.
Unless your only barometer for suffering is how much MSM talks about something I don’t see how you could think otherwise. Yeah ICE is evil, not tens of thousands of murdered children evil. Certainly not when we would still have ICE anyway even if Kamala won.
You don’t have to shut up about genocide to talk about other awful things happening directly because of the US.
No? It was never on the table, considering US and Israel’s history, was it?
But US coming face off? And even their loyal vassal states not touching the shit you get into.
Yea, can’t hide those war crimes behind the world police and hollywood “good guys” facade anymore. Scum
We had a canidate that wouldn’t be committing these war crimes.
But glad you’re happy that you can prove the US isn’t the good guy and it only cost Iranian lives
We had a canidate that wouldn’t be committing these war crimes.
Jill Stein? I guess I don’t remember them saying anything supporting Israel but they were also just a known spoiler candidate so they hardly count.
You know international law gets fuzzy with supplying weapons and money. Which is what the US was providing Israel. Now we have the US military attacking nations directly.
So let me be clear we wouldn’t have invaded Venezuela and we wouldn’t be invading Iran. Those are the war crimes.
And were not even getting into the domestic issues thse days, lots of death there too.
But yeah let’s focus on one thing and ignore all the other way worse direct involvement actions that never would have happened
Have you been doing any Palestine solidarity work or is gaza just a gotcha for you?
Did we though?
You clearly didn’t. I’m not American so I’m not part of your “we”. Your turn: is Gaza just a gotcha for you?
Good. Neither am i.
“You can only care about Gaza if you pass my morality test. Don’t worry no matter what you did, I’ll arbitrarily judge it as not enough.”
Congratulations you defeated the strawman you created.
I asked for a minimal (do you do anything or is it just a rhetorical device?) not any kind of maximal (pass my morality test).
I pointed out the ludicrousness of your morality arguements. You want to talk rhetorical fallacies you’ve created a character arguement and set yourself as the only judge.
You threw out the facts and changed the arguement to be about the commentors’ morality, as you perceive it.
Don’t pretend to care about fallacies when your own hypocrisy is pointed out
The moral argument I made is precisely this:
Have you been doing any Palestine solidarity work or is gaza just a gotcha for you?
That’s the fact, visible to anyone just a few posts up the thread. Nothing thrown away.
From this you assumed that I was setting up a different kind of gotcha, where I would instantly dismiss as not enough anything the other party would say. That’s your assumption, not what I said. The fallacy you accuse me of requires your assumption, does not stand on what I wrote alone. That in turn is exactly a strawman fallacy.
Criminal is gonna war crime.
His opponent was a woman! Fancy that!

Sounds like he wants to use the big bombs. I really hope somebody can physically intervene if he goes for the button.
He wants to be known as the man who was “strong enough” to nuke a country into oblivion.
Yep
I’ve been saying this since his first term, but people said that I was overreacting
Genuinely the first thing I thought when he was elected. They’re going to hand this deranged lunatic the codes and he will find any reason to use them just to prove how powerful he is.
And I’ve also been told I was overreacting at every turn, until he did exactly what I said he would do. And then they said I was overreacting about the next thing he ended up doing. “Of course he’s going to give up the presidency if he loses the election, he’s not going to try anything weird or illegal, don’t be ridiculous!”
Yeah, it’s been a very long, exhausting decade.
“The missiles are flying, hallelujah!”
There is no button he has unilaterally press and never has been its an order that must be given to others who actually launch
Yes, but they’re also legally required to follow that order, except for certain circumstances. The question is if someone in the chain will have the moral backbone to stop said order, and it can’t just be the person launching it as there are more that can be launched. It needs to be someone high up in the chain. It may also require them physically stopping him from just asking the next person.
And they all blindly worship him soooo it’s not looking good for the world.
He does kind of have a ‘button’ in the form of the “football” that sends the order straight to the ICBMs silos but I’m pretty sure those are pre-aimed at Russian targets. He doesn’t push the button, an unthinking brainwashed military pawn does it. That is sent to more unthinking brainwashed military pawns who actually launch the missiles.
Tactical nukes would have to go through more people but they’d probably just follow orders too.
They won’t.
