  • Trump's demented words of violence and death

    Trump has graduated to all-caps on Twitter:

    22 July 2018: To Iranian President Rouhani: NEVER, EVER THREATEN THE UNITED STATES AGAIN OR YOU WILL SUFFER CONSEQUENCES THE LIKES OF WHICH FEW THROUGHOUT HISTORY HAVE EVER SUFFERED BEFORE. WE ARE NO LONGER A COUNTRY THAT WILL STAND FOR YOUR DEMENTED WORDS OF VIOLENCE & DEATH. BE CAUTIOUS!


    Time to call in the men in white coats yet? How long does he need to tweet all-caps with demented words of violence and death before the Republicans finally tell him to put down the nuclear codes and step away from the presidency?

    As usual with Trump, the projection is strong, and his previous tweets are a good guide to understanding his mindset:

    9 Oct 2012 Now that Obama’s poll numbers are in tailspin – watch for him to launch a strike in Libya or Iran. He is desperate.

    16 Sep 2013 I predict that President Obama will at some point attack Iran in order to save face!

    25 Sep 2013 Remember what I previously said--Obama will someday attack Iran in order to show how tough he is.


    I'd say Donald the Weak is in a panic about the Russia investigation closing in on him. He needs to find a country he can attack within the month in order to distract everyone.

    Didn't he say something similar to the North Koreans which resulted in ending up with them at the negotiation table?

      If Iran thinks he is crazy enough to do something, they will think twice about antagonizing him. Might be a good strategy. Countries like Iran and NK seem to boast big as long as they think nobody will actually do anything. Little dogs with a big bark.

        Once again, low-information liberals are making the mistake of taking Trump literally rather than taking him seriously.

          About time we had a President that didn't run away with his tail tucked between his legs. We are where we should be - at the pointy tip of the world's spear. You can stay in your thumbnail country and thank the US for keeping you safe from threats that far overwhelm your 10 man military.

            tRump paper tiger threats are classic! twit! twit!

            A twit tweeting and tweeting and, ah . . . tweeting!

            Source: https://www.cnn.com/2018/07/23/politics/trump-iran-intl/index.html



            Trump tweets explosive threat to Iran

            (CNN)President Donald Trump issued a furious, all-caps challenge to the Iranian regime late Sunday night, warning that any threats to the US would be met with unspecified dire consequences.

            The tirade signaled an immediate escalation of tensions between Washington and Tehran, and capped a weekend of angry tweets by the President on the Russia investigation and the legal problems facing his former personal attorney, Michael Cohen.
            "To Iranian President Rouhani: NEVER, EVER THREATEN THE UNITED STATES AGAIN OR YOU WILL SUFFER CONSEQUENCES THE LIKES OF WHICH FEW THROUGHOUT HISTORY HAVE EVER SUFFERED BEFORE," Trump tweeted after returning to the White House from a weekend at his golf resort in Bedminster, New Jersey. "WE ARE NO LONGER A COUNTRY THAT WILL STAND FOR YOUR DEMENTED WORDS OF VIOLENCE & DEATH. BE CAUTIOUS!"

            Like his outrageous threats in twits against North Korea. Nothing of substance and actually nothing tRump can do to back up these empty threats. The results of negotiations with North Korea has resulted with nothing, and it is increasingly apparent North Korea will do nothing, but gain recognition and status in meeting with world powers, and an apparent end of joint exercises between USA and South Korea.

            For tRump and the USA, airballs!

                You almost had a great thread title there. I'd have gone with "Trump's demented declamation of violence and death."

                    I'm sure that Starlight understands that I broadly disagree with his stance on Trump. I'm just giving him a helpful pointer on memorable thread titles.

                        This looks like loony bin material, not civics.
                        The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                              To be specific Trump declared that he'd unleash "fire and fury" and "totally destroy" the country mentioning "total decimation" and even threatened Kim Jong-un with the same fate as Muammar Gaddafi if the North Korean leader "doesn't make a deal."
