President Donald Trump has also just issued a remarkable, profanity-laced warning to Iran, warning of severe military action should Tehran fail to make a deal or reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a critical oil thoroughfare.

He said in a post to social media that Tuesday, “will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!!”

Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH!

The missive marks the president’s latest signal regarding US plans to target Iran’s critical infrastructure.

Trump’s deadline for Iran to reopen the strait has repeatedly shifted and during an address to the nation, he suggested the strait would “open up naturally” when the conflict is over.

But the virtual shutdown of the strait, which accounts for the transit of approximately 20% of the world’s oil, has led to a major increase in gas prices.

The war is deeply unpopular with Americans, according to CNN polling, and Trump has suggested it could be over in a matter of weeks.

Not Borowitz. I triple checked sources.
What do you think? Is it yet enough for someone to DO something?

The Constitution is a "fukin' joke, as Trump says

2. 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”)
