2. lol

...we're a genocidal nation led by a madman. Let's hope this goes the same way as his other infrastructure weeks.

3. Wow, that's some unseemly, disorganized thinking from a sitting US President...the dementia is really rocking this guy.

6. living his best tinpot dictator life as an American 'strongman'

...with seemingly no clue how despicable that moniker is that he's chosen to emulate.

Hatred, killing and bondage is his ultimate revenge on the world that reviles him as he renders himself into the likeness of a diseased slug.

4. Jesus would be SO proud!

9. 'Doubting Trump'

...we're likely a breath away from a resurrection truther post from the godless freak elevating himself as the messiah.

5. Something tells me

that they are not as scared of his big mouth as he wants us to think they are.

7. Saber rattling his bone spurs

Hopefully trumpass is just saber rattling with his bone spurs, trying to to induce Iran to begging for mercy in light of his awesome awesomeness (Rachel Maddow/Steve Benen way of putting it).

8. Iran is thrilled. Trump has taken their bait and gone insane. More than usual.

A furious mentally ill commander in chief will make many mistakes and look like a fool.

Trump also puts our troops in great danger with this kind of talk.

10. Another TACO Tuesday?

11. how many planes will we lose this time. was Iran holding their fire for the first few weeks to lull trump and Bibi?

12. trump is not well

I saw this circulating and assumed (hoped?) that it was fake. Alas, it’s real.

Not only does it reflect a rapidly unraveling president, it comes just days after he expressed indifference to the Strait of Hormuz during his WH address. (“We don’t need it. We haven’t needed it, and we don’t need it”)
