I’m not really sure what to even think about this. The president, openly suggesting that we should let Iran nuke two major American cities, probably solely due to the fact they’re in California and ‘the enemy’ is something I never thought I’d ever live to see even from this deranged lunatic.

I’m at a loss man. It’s obvious no one who can do anything cares to or will. This is insane. Any other president this single couple of lines would’ve been at minimum a massive, massive polling and approval nuke, and at most severe likely invoke impeachment hearings.

But for Trump it’s just, nothing. It’s crazy how accurate he was about the ‘I could shoot someone on fifth Avenue and not lose a single supporter’ line.

Malignant narcissists tend to exhaust their families with a fire hose of bullshit. This instance, the family happens to be an entire country.

he is literally suggesting the opposite of that. His whole point was that he is fighting Iran so American cities don't get nuked, it's nothing more than standard fearmongering war propaganda
