    Okay, so Iran has apologised and surrendered and will be “the loser” until they surrender and they will be attacked today harder than ever (to make them surrender, presumably) because they’re behaving badly right now.

    What?

    (“they won’t shoot at their neighbours anymore”, “bad behaviour”, there’s that 5-year-old)

    Edit: checked some actual news sources and of course they haven’t formally surrendered, their president has “apologised” and basically offered a ceasefire (“we’ll stop attacking if you stop attacking”). Donnie just likes saying people have surrendered and is incapable of holding a thought from one sentence to the next.

      The “shoot their neighbors” thing is a legit psy-op. I have seen multiple news sources + John Stewart cover it that way instead of “fired missiles at US military bases in [neighboring countries]”

      Bahrain, UAE, Qatar, Oman, Kuwait, Jordan, Iraq, Cyprus, Turkey - all have US bases and that’s what was bombed. But they’re reporting it like Iran is doing it for no reason or as an act of aggression.

    Every time I force myself to read something he wrote I just feel dumber and bad in general. I don’t know why I keep doing it.

      For the life of me, i’ll never understand how anyone could ever read anything he wrote or hear something he said and think: “what a smart man.”

    I actually think it’s a smart move by Iran to gain the trust of its neighbors while the United States is losing it because it is unable to adequately defend them

    He says they surrendered and then he says something like “until they surrender.” Which is it?

    He called for their unconditional surrender yesterday.
