U.S. President Donald Trump on Saturday threatened to "obliterate" Iran's power plants if Tehran does not fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours, a significant escalation barely a day after he talked about "winding down" the war.
"If Iran doesn't FULLY OPEN, WITHOUT THREAT, the Strait of Hormuz, within 48 HOURS from this exact point in time, the United States of America will hit and obliterate their various POWER PLANTS, STARTING WITH THE BIGGEST ONE FIRST!" Trump said on social media.

And now Iran is responding by threatening to destroy the entire Mid-Eastern power plants and oil installations they can get their hands on if Trump does not back off. Now THAT is going to cause oil prices to skyrocket and the economy to take a nosedive!
What does it take to impeach this moronic, senile, narcissistic psycho?!!!!

I don’t think it’s possible. They’ve gone too far letting him do whatever he wants without facing consequences, he thinks he’s bigger than the Beatles.
He’s facing consequences from sticking his dick in crazy, but still not going to face any from us…

Does he? Does he really? Because it seems more like the entire world except Trump himself is feeling those consequences.
And I don’t know about you, but the entire world greatly outnumbers one cowardly, obese, senile, old draft dodger with an overinflated ego…
Doesn’t tell “allies” when he’s about to launch attacks with global repercussions and insults them in nonsensical ways for wanting a heads up, but announces very loudly to his enemies when and where he’s going to commit another war crime.
Oh right, deliberately targeting infrastructure that would cause more strife to civilians than any real military operations is a war crime. Another one. He’s done quite a few so far. And yet NOBODY takes advantage of the framework within the US armed forces - such as UCMJ to disregard illegal orders and relieve an officer attempting to issue such orders and most clearly codified in the Navy under section 1088 - to relieve a superior officer of their post in the face of clear incompetence, manifestly illegal orders, the commission of war crimes, medical AND psychological unfitness for duty, and irrecoverable damage to and prejudice of the public interest. As Commander in Chief of all the armed forces should the President not also be subject to all regulations thereof?

Yes, he is. His base, who he promised lower prices and no wars, are paying skyrocketing prices that they cannot blame on anyone but him. They’re seeing their kids deployed to a war that him started. His chickens are coming home to roost. And he’s hearing enough complaints to feel real fear that he’ll lose even the deplorables.
“And I don’t know about you, but the entire world greatly outnumbers one cowardly, obese, senile, old draft dodger with an overinflated ego…”
Well, not in his estimation. But HE’S the one left holding the bag after his latest tantrum, so he’s suddenly concerned.

I don’t think all that many would vote FOR it, but a LOT of people, the most they’d do would be to turn on the Walker Channel and say it’s a shame that such a great man was shot because he couldn’t even walk to the starting line.
But a lot of people would watch it like a reverse-polarity Game of Thrones… You don’t hope your favorite character wins, but you do pick the one you most despise and want dead, and watch until that episode.
Confused?
