Gen. Dan Caine, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, repeatedly warned Trump that Iran would likely disrupt the Strait of Hormuz in response to a U.S. attack, according to a new report in the Wall Street Journal.
Trump, 79, told his administration that he thought Iran would capitulate to the U.S. before it closed the Strait, adding that even if the Strait was threatened, the U.S. military could handle it.
This asshole seems incapable of humiliation.
He should be ashamed to even show up in public given what he’s done and what a dumbass he is, but I see him in front of cameras nearly daily, mugging and gesturing and holding forth, often for very long periods of time.

Yeah that’s what it seemed like, he thought he’d just bomb a little and everything would go his way. Got hopped up success in Venezuela and thought it would be the same.
How does anyone still listen to him? Every decision he’s ever made has not come from a place of intelligence, reason or foresight, but just what he feels at that moment.
There are a whole lot of dumbasses out there would rather have a complete idiot in power rather than someone that makes them feel stupid, or, in other words, is clearly smarter, more educated, and more capable than they are.
It’s an infuriating trait and I don’t understand it at all.
I could do a better job than this idiot, and I am self-aware and smart enough to realize I have no business being anywhere near that kind of job. I happen to want people far smarter, more experienced, more education, and more wisdom than myself in there. I don’t feel smaller by having someone better than me in there.
This is about the only job I can think of where there are certain types of idiots that cast about for non-experts for that role. You don’t people agitating to have “outsiders” in their sportsball team. You don’t see them calling for things like “term limits” on sports, either. Same for a whole host of occupations. People don’t put out ads for positions at companies seeking someone with zero experience, but who makes them feel good about their own capabilities in comparison.
But, for a role that We, The People hire for, we have this incredibly bizarre and stupid selection criteria - dumb things that include “wanting to have a beer with them”, or “running the country like a business”. Things like intelligence, capability, education, wisdom, and experience don’t seem to really matter for this hiring process.
A combination of: the people in positions of power stand to benefit personally for decisions that are bad for everyone else, and a failure of the people to hold him to account (which is itself caused by a mix of apathy, ignorance, and hatred).
It’s only surprising if you have taken the competence and stability demonstrated over the last 70 years for granted.
How can it be miscalculated when it wasn’t even calculated at all to begin with?
jfc what fucking president says “bombing the hell out of the shoreline”. This isn’t call of duty with your buddies dumbass
I’m hoping that the military leadership is starting to realize that they WILL have to forcefully remove Trump, if anything to protect the safety and security of the country. Also the PRIMARY purpose of the US Armed forces is:
- To support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign or domestic.
Not one fucking word about protecting pedos or presidents.
They’ve already been purged, dude.
Remember, within the first month of this term, he fired all the 5-star generals and other military leadership who would have had the wherewithal to pull this off.
You say “fired all the five star generals”, I say “created new leadership opportunities for disgruntled veterans”.
America is going to end up with two armies, one full of soldiers and one full of sycophants and idiots. Boy, this doesn’t sound familiar or anything, does it?
It would not be a difficult math problem nor a stretch to calculate and conclude that he is a domestic enemy.
Dipshit dips shit.
Still using the bad archive site.
Why does Trump want the strait OPEN?
He’s the one that CLOSED it.
Ooh yea, that OLD trick he uses when he makes a problem and then fixes the problem he made.
