I guess the FIFA Peace Prize just doesn’t mean what it used to.

@SharonSmith-d7e

I firmly believe that they are lying about how many of our troops have been killed and are missing

@FredMax-o9z

THE U.S. IS IN THIS HUGE MESS ALL BECAUSE OF YOUR ORANGE TURD. HE TORE UP A DEAL THAT OBAMA INITIATED WITH IRAN THAT WAS ACTUALLY WORKING. WE WERE NOT AT WAR, THERE WAS NO FIGHTING, THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ WAS OPEN, GAS AND OIL PRICES WERE LOW, IRAN WAS NOT ENRICHING URANIUM, THEY DID NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON AND INSPECTIONS WERE IN PLACE TO INSURE THAT. IRAN STARTED TO ENRICH URANIUM AFTER TRUMP TORE UP OBAMA;S DEAL TRUMP HAS WASTED AND COST THE U.S. BILLIONS OF TAXPAYER DOLLARS. HIS WORTHLESS MEMO (WHICH IS NOT A DEAL AT ALL AS HE PROMISED FOR MONTHS) ACCOMPLISHED ABSOLUTELY NOTHING FOR THE U.S. AND EVERYTHING FOR IRAN! HE IS AN INCOMPETENT PRESIDENT! WHEN ARE ALL YOU MAGA REPUBLICANS FINALLY GOING TO WAKE UP, REALIZE AND ADMIT THAT YOUR ORANGE TURD IS THE BIGGEST LIAR AND CON-MAN ON THE FACE OF THIS EARTH???????????????

@DarkMoonStarsong

He's getting us all killed 😢

@FredMax-o9z

Meanwhile, in the White House, we still have a known, disgusting, lying. 34 count corrupt, convicted criminal FELON freely walking the streets and not locked up behind bars where he should be. And he happens to be the current U.S. President. UNBELIEVABLE!!

@gabeallen8179

You asked if he would adjust his strategy.

@TheSphericalChicken

“Suckers and losers.” — Donald Trump when referring to active duty and KIA US servicemembers.

@anabelleharvey9342

I don't understand. Centcom is saying the strait IS open... Do you mean to tell me that they weren't being honest?? 😱

@Bob-n7b1r

We are headed for the same gas lines that Russians are now suffering

@ReefShark-ts8up

Doesn't it feel like all this shit could be avoided if we went all in on renewables? All that oil leverage would be gone.

@JohnnyFiction

Living in southern california I miss gas at 4 dollars. Hell I miss gas at 5 dollars

@kennethrschnear6926

It's time to focus on renewable energy. If we didn't depend so much on fossil fuels. they would no be able to squeeze our balls.

@michaelwolf9400

I always thought he’d destroy the country from within. But he might just blow up his own spot with this war because if gas reaches like $7 or $8 even maga will demand his removal. But how the hell do we clean this mess up? The damage he’s done might be irreparable.

@TorvikR-e4v

Iran has a right to defend itself. The US started an unprovoked illegal war of aggression on a sovereign state and clearly bit off more than it can chew.

@Krell666

Chaos is the strategy. While the world burns you grab all the money and power.
