4. Who would have predicted that a purposefully ignorant blowhard who won't do homework

or listen to anyone who tells him things he does not already believe or want to hear would end up being ENTIRELY wrong, yet again?

8. Was he crapping his pants watching the people there galvanized against the US on his TV?

Because he should have been. Their response is what will drive Iran's reactions here. So far their people are behind them by a majority and against us n

9. This asshole.. is so dumb. Did he really believe that? Nah, that has to be made up

None of his " best people" schooled him on how revered Soleimani was?
Furthermore his best people didn't school him on how tired the American people are of war? We have been are at war for for almost 2 decades - so no war is not popular asshole- Do you not weigh the consequences of war?Do you really think the American public wants to see a steady stream of dead bodies returning home night after night on the news again. Sure that will be popular on the teevee again. Yup that will be politically popular again asshole.
