#CAPSLOCKDIPLOMACY!

So, the Trump-Rouhani summit should happen sometime around January, then..

Let's note that Trump repeatedly accused Obama of wanting war with Iran as to divert attention from something else. Someone tell him that he's taking orders from Obama..

I do wonder if we could get Trump to reverse some of his terrible decisions by pointing out that he's doing the thing he told Obama not to do. Then again, Trump thrives on saying one thing and doing another, so I'm not sure this would carry much weight.
 
That could easily pass for a 13 year old raging in all caps in an online game of counterstrike. He is good with Russia and Putin, but Iran warrants an all caps rage case tweet.

Must play better to his base. Russians are the wrong complexion to hate on. The irony is the US shares some responsibility for the destabilizing of Iran by facilitating the coup that put the Shah in place. Which then led to the revolution that put the religious fanatics in control. All motivated by oil, sounds familiar...
In this case it is motivated by the long term U.S. policy of solidifying Saudi hegemony in the region by destroying all rivals. Why our government thinks elevating the most whack, anti-western regime in the region to supremacy is a mystery.
 
Trump has only the bigliest brain, the best brain. He really is very smart, he went to Wharton after all.

And the school's administrators get sphincter cramps and their ulcers make more holes in their tummies every time Trump mentions the school's name. Fer sure they rue the day they agreed to take those bribes to let him buy his edgamuhkashun degree there.

They need a crisis to exploit before the mid-terms..

It is unhinged, and also childish, stupid, embarrassing and pointless. But it gave the lazy media a clickbait headline and Trump's base a collective orgasm, so look for more to come.

As Trump is finding out, in world politics, having a history of bad faith negotiations sticks with you, threatening war isn't all that effective.
 
Wow, so tough!
We'll know it worked when Iran never threatens the US again.
I voted Republican Conservative every election of my life until this past election for President.
I just couldn't vote for a 7 year old mentally challenged 70 year old who believes in nothing aside from his over-inflated sense of self.
Epic disaster.
 
Well, Iran shouldn't threaten the US. However, merely saying you will Defend yourself is a serious affront to Trump. Just ask Justin Trudeau or any US ally.

There's a very long list of things Iran shouldn't do. I'm pretty confident Trump's tweet won't change any of it.
 
I think I saw it in the past.....NK maybe? Next week you will hear they're planning a US/Iran meeting.

That exactly what I was thinking. A few weeks of saber rattling and then a summit/Trump victory. This reality TV show is become a bit predictable.

Oh and I can’t wait to see the nicknames he comes up for this one.

Oh wow, you did. 😳

But I missed it because your lazy ass couldn't be bothered to take a screenshot!

My post is much more effective and therefore far superior to yours. 😛

My ass is lazy, I admit. Not for lack of screenshot though 😛
Hell, my OP doesn't have the screenshot!
