As much as I have no reason to believe Iran, I absolutely know trump is lying.

Iran has been very trustworthy lately.

Iran: If you do A I will do B

USrael: *does A*

Iran: *does B*

USrael + Western Media: *surprise pikachu face*

Also worth noting that Americans are literally retreating from Iraq after requesting a truce from Iranian affiliated militias.

At first I thought Trump really fucked up. Unusual specificity in his threat.

I already knew his followers would eat the shit right out of his ass, but it's somehow getting even more pathetic.

TACO means nothing to him. His followers just go with it every time.

...It could just be market manipulation. I hear DOW jumped when he made the threat.

i was watching some YT content and had the tickers on in a window to the side, saw a huge jump, and i was thinking wtf has Trump down now

[-] k0e3@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 months ago

I keep getting confused when I see "YT" nowadays. I can't tell if it's YouTube or white people.

[-] abigscaryhobo@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Oh it's definitely something like that. Trump may be dumb publicly, but he's also blindly loyal to his own ego and wallet. He has a reason for this, whether it's market manipulation or bribes, but he definitely has a reason that will serve him exclusively.

Donald’s Own Weiner did indeed jump
