"This complete f---ing lunatic really thinks Iran gives a s--- about his stark raving mad social media posts."

Trump threatened military retaliation if the country interferes with oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz.

"If Iran does anything that stops the flow of Oil within the Strait of Hormuz, they will be hit by the United States of America TWENTY TIMES HARDER than they have been hit thus far," Trump wrote in his post, adding: "Additionally, we will take out easily destroyable targets that will make it virtually impossible for Iran to ever be built back, as a Nation, again — Death, Fire, and Fury will reign upon them — But I hope, and pray, that it does not happen!"

The Strait of Hormuz is a critical chokepoint for global oil trade.

Critics were left aghast at the rhetoric.

Independent journalist Aaron Rupar wrote on X, "Trump is completely flailing. He didn't anticipate the economic blowback and now he's trying to undo the past 10 days and contain the damage."

The popular X account Polly Sigh wrote, "This complete f---ing lunatic really thinks Iran gives a s--- about his stark raving mad social media posts."

That we have no leadership and are in disarray.

I'd say the bombing of the girls' school easily qualifies as a war crime, an "international incident."

And yet, somewhere down the road, I'd say it's a guarantee of Trump whining about the Nobel again.

The girls' school bombing pretty much disqualifies him for the rest of his worthless life.

We are run by a corrupt crime syndicate.

Our country has gone to the dark side of corruption, greed, hatred, violence, racism, sexism.

Our enemies have achieved their goal of breaking up the US.
And destroying our global leadership role.

We are no longer respected or admired.
Our power is greatly diminished.

vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers, and you will know my name is is Trump when I lay my vengeance upon thee”.
I believe our badass president was channeling Samuel L. Jackson.

Bullying is all Trump has ever had and that one tool does not work with people who know who they are.

He lost this war the moment he let Netanyahu bully him into it. Such a pathetic fool. He's constantly being led around by others who don't care much for our nation.
