Donald Trump has issued his latest threat to Iran and said that if officials fail to make a deal with the United States “the whole country is going to get blown up.”

The president also made threats Sunday morning to target civil infrastructure after it was reported that Iranian forces were refusing to allow ships to pass through the Strait of Hormuz this weekend.

    Honestly, I think Iran will win the war. The corruption of the Trump Regime has defanged the US in all kinds of ways. However much the rabid pitbull bites, it has only gums. The teeth are gone.

    Trump talks the talk, but I would be surprised if the Iranians didn’t quietly start to walk the walk and prepare some blowing up of their own.

    I blame the criminally passive GOP congresscritters and senators for letting Trump and his fascist henchmen destroy the country. All it would take is for a few of them to agree to 25th Trump’s ass and impeach Vance and Kegbreath for this madnest to end right this minute.

    History will not be kind to them, and I hope the courts will hold them accountable for what they did one day too.

      It will only make JD Vance president, and he is no better than Trump, and the American population will just elect another psychopath a few years down the road. We might as well get it over with and have USA destroy itself now.

        *the capitalist billionaire class will thrust two psychopaths one the American people and tell them they’re the only options.

        Americans haven’t had a say in decades, if ever.

        Indeed, you’re correct. Trump and MAGA aren’t the problem, they’re a symptom. The disease is a population with the IQ of a lemming and a penchant for fascism.

        But you will note that I said “stop THIS madness”. The next madness is next. But at least this one could be halted quickly.

        We might as well get it over with and have USA destroy itself now.

        I’m hip about that. The problem is, America is dragging the rest of the world down with it.

          Impeaching him will do nothing, it hasn’t really done anything to prevent a president in power since Nixon was threatened with it back in the 60’s.

          But you will note that I said “stop THIS madness

          “This” is not specific, I read it like the madness of USA, not the administration or congress, but the people electing insane psychopathic politicians.

        I guarantee you if God existed, he would not ro-ro with those clowns.

        If I was a Christian, I would feel offended by the GOP: they talk a lot about Jesus but they don’t actually follow the teachings of Jesus very much. And that’s hardly new.

      Don’t let them or the media convince you that their actions are passive. They have had many opportunities to put the brakes on this administration, and every time they deliberately side with Trump. Every Republican congressperson is complicit with his agenda.

    USA by criminals for criminals. Absolutely disgusting country, just as bad as Putin’s Russia.
    To the American population: The fact that you elected this corrupt criminal pedophile malignant narcissist of a moron twice will never be forgotten - never!

        Has it been forgotten, if you mention Hitler, does anyone still remember? No it will not be forgotten, just as the USA helping Europe hasn’t been forgotten. But the reason Germany was slowly forgiven was first that they were split in 2 making the power of Germany smaller, it was a different time, with no prior historical lesson to learn from regarding Nazism. and that the political environment in both parts of Germany was changed completely, with Western Germany taking responsibility more than any country had done before them.

            Back in 2000 he won fair. He did so by playing a strong conservative and nationalist campaign and ridiculing his opponents with the help of a lot media coverage from friendly channels.

            Even now I’d say he doesn’t even have to cheat in the elections themselves because he changed the country itself to the point where he can have any real threats thrown in jail or killed and has a firm hold over what most of the population knows and gets suggested just keeps him very popular.

            In a lot of ways it’s Trump, after he’s been allowed to stay in power for 26 years

      will never be forgotten

      Sadly, you’re wrong. It will be forgotten. That’s why history keeps repeating itself.

      If people didn’t forget, they wouldn’t have voted for fascists. After the war, people swore they would never forget the horrors of fascism either. And yet… Trump is soiling the White House today.

        Has Hitler been forgotten?
        This time it’s even worse, because Americans have been taught about Hitler and Nazism and the horrors that follow with authoritarian governments.
        Americans have no excuse, they should have learned enough from history to not repeat the mistakes of Nazism.

      Other statesmen and journalists should also learn – and make it clear that Trump is making himself look more and more ridiculous and that all his threats are simply weird and clumsy.

    The question is, will the Secret Service do its duty if he decides to nuke Iran? Because he sounds crazier than ever to me, if any President would, it’s him.

    Hopefully, an agent will follow their oath to protect the United States from all enemies, foreign and domestic.

      Considering the SS paraded the photographers and journalists around Trump when his “ear got shot off,” and that crane that slowly lowered the flag down for that infamous picture. I’d say they’re all for on board.
