    Oh he’s maddddd that it’s been revealed that the USA and Israel can’t even protect Israel right now. 😂 since Iran is going tit for tat right now, I wonder how much of the Middle East will lose power if Trump even attempts at strike.

    Threatening energy infrastructure in a conflict already centered around energy routes… that’s a dangerous feedback loop.

  3. Wouldn’t this cause disproportionate civilian damage and therefore be a potential war crime?

  4. Desperation creeping in for Trump. The others Middle Eastern countries just got the warning that their power station are about to go down too, you got 49 hours, because as soon as Iran’s go down, all of the ally of the American in the middle east will go down too, and the SOH will still be close.

    Expect gas price to rise on Monday again when the stock market comes back online.

    I’m convinced you could threaten to nuke Iran and they still wouldn’t voluntarily open the strait.

    He tried to overturn an election he lost. It got violent. People died. It was televised.

    And then, four years later, a feeble nation embraced him as its President.

    We deserve everything we are getting.

  7. This is going to go so well since this was all obviously thought through. What a clown.

    I can’t tell what the heck is going on over there! Can u imagine how the military must feel? We are gonna do this. We are gonna do that.

  9. Didn’t he just say yesterday we didn’t need the straight? How do republicans not see how fucking clueless this guy is?

    HEAR YE HEAR YE. YOU HAVE UNTIL MY FLORIDIAN GOLF MATCH AT MY COUNTRY CLUB IS OVER AND THEN…SOMETHING BAD IS COMING…

  11. Do that, and Iran will just strike neighboring countries again. With how pissed Qatar was, I’m curious if Trump will follow through with this.

  12. The amount of tantrums he’s thrown and threats to get his way is astonishing, especially for a war he says we won and yet will not be a long term thing.

    This idiot has no leverage and no plan. His only statements are “do what I say or else” when he’s being the aggressor.

    He’s probably also giving this timeline because of the markets opening on Monday. But because he has no plan at all, and no one is coming to help clean up another one of his messes, he’s losing control.

    Did not the sec of war say it was open? Did not potus say victory? Several times?
