  1. Remember all of the times that Trump falsely accused President Obama of doing exactly  what he’s doing now?

    “Our president will start a war with Iran because he has absolutely no ability to negotiate. He’s weak and he’s ineffective. So the only way he figures that he’s going to get reelected — and as sure as you’re sitting there — is to start a war with Iran. I believe that he will attack Iran sometime prior to the election because he thinks that’s the only way he can get elected. Isn’t it pathetic?”
    –Trump, Nov 16, 2011

    “Don’t let Obama play the Iran card in order to start a war in order to get elected–be careful Republicans!”
    –Trump, Oct 22, 2012

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

    “Remember what I previously said–Obama will someday attack Iran in order to show how tough he is.”
    –Trump, Sep 25, 2013

    “Remember that I predicted a long time ago that President Obama will attack Iran because of his inability to negotiate properly-not skilled!”
    –Trump, Nov 10, 2013

    We now know that as usual, Trump was only fantasizing about what he would do if he were president.

    1. I hope that all those orange skidmarks can be removed with less than 15 flushes later this year…
      Bernie 2020 🌊🌊

    2. @Matt Gaetz congressman make a speech already you foolish little man… doesn’t change the fact your presiDUNCE is TOTALLY inept… 😐

  2. Whenever I read a t’rump tweet, all I hear in my head is the constant sound of a toilet flushing somewhere in the White House.
    🤔😃😆😂

    1. @Will HicksBaron Von Dump concurs with your sentiments

      Being a toilet is hard work under this administration.

  3. All of this destruction to avoid impeachment and possible imprisonment. The GOP is responsible for this tragedy and they all should be held responsible. We have no diplomatic core and they are lying trying to justify this chaos.

  4. US are in their own having alienated historical allies while an insane and incapable commandeering chief bumbles his way into another war

  5. It’s laughable to hear Pompeo say that “We have developed a strategy to attempt to convince the Iranian regime to behave like a normal nation.” Normal nations don’t threaten to blackmail other countries or destroy their cultural sites.

    1. Normal nations do not go on killing generals that they do not like , because they have being impeached and hated by most Americans, and lies and is a criminal , your president is sick 🤕 he shouldn’t be at the helm

    2. Laundry Sauce 2 agree , what he just did is a declaration of war , imagine if Mike Pence gets killed by Jordan 🇯🇴 because they do not like him .

  6. “brutal efficiency” in killing innocents as well. Trump needs to be turned over to them for his war crimes.

    1. It should read, “endangered species can’t shoot back, Ask Junior and Eric but a species I would love to see totally extinct would be the trumpanzees.
