Might be smart for Iran to just attack trump’s businesses as retribution for the bombings; if they attack the military, we’ll surely get pulled into another war, but just going after trump’s businesses will probably avoid a military response and maybe will make republicans come around to the fact that he should have divested himself from his businesses when he became president.
More likely, it makes the poor baby (-hands) cry and throw a tantrum. Being the malignant narcissist he is, he thinks the resources of the United States government are entirely at his disposal. With that in mind, he's absolutely going to demand a military response to any attacks on his businesses.
Whether saner heads prevail, all we can do is hope.
Yeah agreed, he’s absolutely going to demand a military response to any attacks on his business, but maybe that’s enough to divide the republicans in congress and they’ll start to rein him in. Still going to take a lot for them to develop the balls to stand up to him, but might be good for us if Iran just goes after his businesses.
Yeah these are the dicks that cried terrorism when Tesla was "attacked"
His administration says damage to Teslas equates to terrorism. I don’t think it would go how you’re thinking.
With any other president I’d agree but this is Trump. A venal and petty man who wouldn’t think twice before using the country’s soldiers and even nuclear weapons to defend his sense of pride
The bombings are an act of war, so Trump's already dragged the US into a war with Iran at this point, despite the spin about being "at war with Iran's nuclear programme but not Iran itself"
I doubt Iran are that worried about the Americans starting a ground invasion either, it would be an absolute bloodbath and will have MAGA and non-MAGA everywhere calling for Trump's head.
