The Toddler-in-chief threatening to throw an apocalyptic tantrum over something that he fucked up in the first place.
He not only needs to be removed from office - he needs to be on a psych hold. He's deranged and dangerous.

Boomers can't do math and if they could they'd be very disappointed
He remembered how bored he got after he had solved the conflict in Ukraine on day one.

This guy has never had any clue what he’s doing, only what he wants and how to get it. Now, he’s finally hit something completely out of his grasp and just like any narcissist, he’s not handling it well.
He will continue to chew through the entire world consuming people, economies, countries, and society until he’s stopped. This is the danger of dictators.

Imo he has been looking for any excuse to launch a nuclear bomb since he first became president. I don't even think he cares why, how, or who he ends up using it on, even if it's his own people. As long as he gets to use his ultimate power as president and press that big button. And as long as he isn't personally affected he won't even give it a second thought.
I firmly believe he WILL nuke someone before his term is up if nobody stops him. I firmly believe people have already stopped him before.
He is the only person stupid enough to do it. I feel they'll carpet bomb Teheran or something like that first, but since the army of Iran is decentralized it won't do much. It would be a great excuse for the martial law in US if he drops a nuke. His insanity and the death cult around him makes him so fucking dangerous. Hegseth did a purge in the army, if they have only yes men left they will have no pushback from them.

Uh, interesting (and horrifying) theory. I wonder how his bootlicking allies would explain that away. Like Germany's Merz going "we have to evaluate first whether dropping a nuclear bomb really constitutes a war crime. Maybe it was warranted and he had good reasons to do it" and then just never speak of it again and pretend everything's fine.

there is no big button that trump presses, that is the myth. the suitcase being carried with him, for some strange reason called nuclear football, is basically just a sat-phone that connects him to some joint chiefs operations center. from there, there is a long chain of command leading to some soldiers in silo somewhere, who actually have the button. anyone in that chain of command can still say no and break the chain.

I live in a country where this one guy, all by himself, is allowed to just decide to murder thousands and thousands of people just because he wants to, over and over again. And, there’s no consequences, no check, no pushback, nothing that the other 300 million of us can do about it. Why do we tolerate this? Why is this just accepted as normal, even by the majority of people who disagree with him? I just cannot get over what a shit country the US is. Our government, our politics, our media, our culture, the people who live here are just endlessly awful. Will some nation, please just fucking do something about us?
The problem is, this very very tiny portion of like minded evil people have installed themselves via politics or capitalism into untouchable roles which drive the country in any way they wish, regardless of what the majority wants. And even physical violence isn’t really a protest option as the police and military are some of the organizations they control. So the US is basically the same as China or Russia now.

so let me get this straight. Just so I'm clear, it's unfair when Iran blockades. But when dumpy does it to cuba, that's perfectly fine?
No longer does the country collectively agree to push forward on war. Now it's just one guy who triggers very easily. WTF!?
It's not just 1 guy, it's most of the current administration. And 84% of the people that voted for Trump, still stand by their vote!!

Could you imagine if a female was president. Just running everything on feelings and emotions.

To think that in the interest of electoral fairness, we let this guy be president again instead of putting him in a prison for life where he absolutely belongs.
To any democratic strategists out there who might be reading my post, if you want my attention, start getting your candidate to talk loudly and often about how they will punish Trump and every single member of his administration on Day 1. Lifetime prison sentences for Epstein related coverups. Hangings for treason, war crimes and crimes against humanity. Lengthy prison sentences for fraudsters who are insider trading and former DOGE staffers. Restitution to be paid back to the American taxpayers for the theft and embezzlement of tax dollars. Anything less that that is a mockery of justice.

Sounds like he wants to use the big bombs. I really hope somebody can physically intervene if he goes for the button.
He wants to be known as the man who was "strong enough" to nuke a country into oblivion.
Yep
I've been saying this since his first term, but people said that I was overreacting
Genuinely the first thing I thought when he was elected. They're going to hand this deranged lunatic the codes and he will find any reason to use them just to prove how powerful he is.
And I've also been told I was overreacting at every turn, until he did exactly what I said he would do. And then they said I was overreacting about the next thing he ended up doing. "Of course he's going to give up the presidency if he loses the election, he's not going to try anything weird or illegal, don't be ridiculous!"
Yeah, it's been a very long, exhausting decade.

“we’re blowing up the entire country.”
What country is that? USA?
For those not aware, Trump is actively destroying USA not Iran.
For every escalation USA is just making it worse for themselves.
There's no salvation for this man. I hope someone stops him, and my thoughts are with civilians of the region.
Blud, my thoughts are with all of us that didn't sign up to be part of this fucking insanity.
What the fuck is everyone over there so afraid of? Get him the hell out of that damn office already! Holy shit.
Presumably they’re afraid of getting shot by his brownshirts

He is manipulating markets
My question for him is which country does he mean. Because I’m not sure at this point.
Neither is he.
When a person has the means to commit genocide, is inclined to commit genocide, and has promised to commit genocide, does that create a moral imperative to kill that person? Asking for a friend.

Remember the big present and that no one knew who was leading the country but he’s talking to the right people and they gave a beautiful prize
Which one is it? 4th time?
Because he's been holding back so far?! Lol no he hasn't. He comes across as a bit desperate to me.
Trying to say that the US doesn't need or care about the strait of Hormuz on Wednesday, then following it up with today's post was a choice.
Guy has exactly one tactic: start from a relative position of power and bully the little guy. It's not working like he assumed and he's floundering.

I still have hope that he's dead or dying. Has anyone seen him alive yet, other than tweets which anyone can post?
