Bigmouth Strikes Again The dumbest things Trump has said about the war in Iran

March 14 (after telling the UK he didn't need their help & then saying the Strait of Hormuz was in great shape): "Hopefully China, France, Japan, South Korea, the UK, and others… will send Ships to the area so that the Hormuz Strait will no longer be a threat." unprecedented.ghost.io/archive/bigm...

The SAVE America Act is a voter suppression scam. It would take away the rights of working people to make their voices heard at the ballot box.

The Senate must reject this bill.

Nothing says β€œeverything is under control” like someone constantly yelling at everyone not to panic

More Americans have died in the illegal undeclared Iran War than died during the Afghanistan withdrawal that was portrayed to the American public as a presidency-annulling catastrophe for Joe Biden.

Trump says Iran is ready to negotiate a ceasefire but he's not ready to make a deal The president said the "terms aren't good enough yet" to make a deal with Iran amid a widening war in the Middle East.

Trump said US strikes on Kharg Island β€œtotally demolished” most of it but that β€œwe may hit it a few more times just for fun.”

Blowing shit up and killing people for no good reason, Trump says, is a lot of fun. The entire Republican Party laughs along in agreement. www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled.

A truly extraordinary moment.

We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT.

He is begging like a dog, one might say.

This war and Trump’s alienation of our allies may go down as among the greatest foreign policy failures of any presidency in history.

Also, be sure not to spread this video of Justin Fox, the other DOGE bro who revealed that he's a malicious moron who caused incredible destruction.

Do not hurt Justin Fox's reputation just by linking Justin Fox's name to the sworn testimony Justin Fox gave about what Justin Fox did.

This Trump tweet is a work of art and needs to be kept for posterity. It turns out that the US has destroyed 100% of Iran’s military capability. Yet, to combat a military with no capability he is left pleading with allies he has regularly insulted to save him in the Gulf.

Anastos' line came on September 16, 2009. The program had aired on Fox 5 News,
 WNYW. Anastos was bantering with weatherman Nick Gregory. While they were
 discussing something about chickens, Anastos dropped the line which went on to
 become iconic among fans. Decider reported that Anastos might have tried to say 'Keep
 plucking that chicken!,' but he did not say that. Instead, he said 'keep f**king that
 chicken'. A snippet from the now viral moment was uploaded on YouTube.

He was a local newscaster in NYC and one time he said, on air, β€œkeep fucking that chicken.” He died this week.

Pentagon’s Boat Bombings Are Illegal, Human Rights Panel Is Told

It’s crystal clear now that Trump has lost control of this war. He badly misjudged Iran’s ability to retaliate. The region is on fire.

Trump Administration Readies Plans to Dismantle Renowned Science Lab

Many Countries, especially those who are affected by Iran’s attempted closure of the Hormuz Strait, will be sending War Ships, in conjunction with the United States of America, to keep the Strait open and safe. We have already destroyed 100% of Iran’s Military capability, but it’s easy for them to send a drone or two, drop a mine, or deliver a close range missile somewhere along, or in, this Waterway, no matter how badly defeated they are. Hopefully China, France, Japan, South Korea, the UK, and others, that are affected by this artificial constraint, will send Ships to the area so that the Hormuz Strait will no longer be a threat by a Nation that has been totally decapitated. In the meantime, the United States will be bombing the hell out of the shoreline, and continually shooting Iranian Boats and Ships out of the water. One way or the other, we will soon get the Hormuz Strait OPEN, SAFE, and FREE! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Days after declaring total victory and boasting that no other military could match the US, Trump is now begging other countries β€” including China β€” to send warships to stop his Iran war from spiraling into catastrophe.

A galactic humiliation.

Trump posted this to Truth Social where he brazenly admits his puppet-master role over censorship & firing decisions at the FCC, CNN, CBS, Comcast & Disney, among others.

So much for Bari Weiss and David Ellison's claims to be independent, free press champions.
