Donald Trump told a Florida crowd that it is “treasonous” to say the US is not winning the war in Iran. The US president was speaking at The Villages in Florida, the world’s largest retirement community, when he made the remarks. Trump came to tout supposedly fulfilling his 2024 campaign promise to remove taxes on Social Security. It came after the president told Congress that the war in Iran had already ended, despite his earlier issuing a fresh threat to Tehran.

    Trump thinks any criticism of him and his failures is treason.

    he likes to frame it as treason, because he wants to kill people who are critical and oppose him.

      I would never say that the US is not winning the war in Iran, because I do not want to be deported by ICE, Trump’s S.S., since I have a foreign look. Heil Drumph, heil U.S. of A!

      Which war? You mean the Epstein War? The one that Trump started to distract from the fact that he trafficked and raped dozens of children?

    “Trump says”

    C’mon, I understand that rawstory or similar outlets post this shit but a “normal” news outlet? This is not news. Trump is a bad troll with no mods in sight.

    Yes, he also runs one of the largest economies in the world into the ground and actively kills and fucks over people everywhere. So make that the headline. Not one of his idiotic speeches fits of logorrhea.

    Pay more attention to what’s going on behind the circus.

          I’m more concerned about the USA’s nuclear weapons at this point. Why can they have them, but Iran can’t?

          Trump has single-handedly encouraged them to develop this program by destroying the Iran nuclear deal in his first term.

          This is ALL his fucking fault.

              What? The Obama deal ensured they could enrich past nuclear power plant levels which is about 85% bellow bomb making. And getting to 95% or greater enrichment is extremely difficult.

                Yeah, they showed you how difficult it really is back in '24

                You’re betting the farm on it they won’t ever be able to technically do what a bunch of pioneers did 80 years ago?

                  Lol back in '24 you mean when Trump canceled the deal? I don’t think that’s the argument you think it is. And once again. All our actions have proven is they need a nuke for self determination.

            Maybe the reason he canceled that deal was so that he had an excuse to manufacture pretense later.

            I don’t think he has that much foresight, but maybe the people pulling his strings do…

              Ya because that’s how deals work… The fact that one took years and thousands of experts from all over the world to broker is testimony to how dumb this notion that Iran doesn’t have the right get something back in negotiations is laughable. Also inserting that they don’t have the right to self determination via self defense is also insulting to everyone involved.

                It’s insulting not to want a bunch of murdering religious nutjobs to have nukes?

                Maybe they should free their people before I’ll entertain the thought that they have ‘the right’ to such horrible weapons

                  Are you taking about Israel?

                  Because the Ayatollah had a fatwa against nukes, which is the sole reason it didn’t have one.

                  So, who should have nukes? Just America and their allies? Every country has seen that as soon as they lose nuclear capability they crumble from imperialism, so why would they give up their weapons?

                  Ideally Iran or NK or Russia (or America) wouldn’t have nuclear weapons, but that’s not reality.

                  We’re the religious nut jobs dude. (and Isreal) Free their people? Who has more imprisoned citizens? Iran or America? Do you have any idea how Iran’s nut jobs can to power? We are making the same fucking mistakes we did 100 years ago. Also, only one nation has used nukes in violence. Acting as if we have the moral high ground here is alarming.

                  Also wanted to add the Obama deal prevented them from getting nukes. You know how I know that? I read the fucking reports from the international inspectors. Iran passed every search and were complying with the deal. Trump threw it out and started bombing again. Not Iran. Where are you getting your news?! Seriously. You are either willfully ignorant or a troll.

          If that were the case, they wouldn’t have killed the Ayatollah, the one man preventing Iran room having a nuclear weapon with his religious Fatwa against nuclear weapons.

              No.

              Iran is a civilization with political factions and a robust political system.

              The faction that thought nukes would be stabilizing for the region (and time is showing that they were correct) wanted to be able to have nukes very quickly should the Ayatollah change his mind.

              Your understanding of Iran is basically just spoon fed propaganda with no critical thought. Go comment on things you actually know anything about.

        Permanent distraction from the fact that Trump trafficked and raped dozens of young girls with Jeffrey Epstein. That’s the entire goal.

        Israel forced Trump into this war because they have that proof of him raping children hanging over his head. Israel is just your standard genocidal imperialistic religious fanatical fascist regime that views any Muslims as “animals” or “subhumans” (their own words).

          The goal of the war? Establishing Greater Israel. Netanyahu is really keen on the neighbor’s land. Trump is just there as the muscle, barely know what’s going on and just acts though to protect his reputation with his flunkies.
