So, obviously he's lying, either about the address of the earlier strikes or about the intention to keep hitting the island.

But just consider how fucking bad this lie is. Like, if we actually take him at his word, what he's saying is that he will literally put pilots in harm's way, and kill and maim Iranians, as well as wasting a lot of money, just for his entertainment. That's your commander in chief, America, proudly declaring that he would happily sacrifice human lives just for "fun".

Honestly, assuming that he's lying is actually being kind to him at this point.
