trump scared shitless, $80 mill from Iran for his head

[Miigwech]

I believe that trump was so afraid after the price was put on his head by Iran ... his properties ... that he had such a closed off speech today, safely right outside his Oval Office. He couldn't even stand at the podium by himself or walk down the hallway that is traditional for a Pres. to do, had to be surrounded by all of his flunkies to prop him up. Just this threat on his properties will cost him dearly because folks will avoid staying or living in one of them. He is pissing himself, snorting, gasping for air like a animal caught in a snare. I predict no more trump rallies for quite some time ... he is too scared to be in public. Paranoia setting in big time. No one wants anyone assassinated, especially any American President. But the parinoia has taken over and trump will be less available to the press and American people.

1. Source for this? Sounds like first-growth tonypandy to me. n/t

[MFM008]

8. common sense?

We all know about the bounty, only a brain dead maggot would rush to his properties right now.
If they do, especially in Malaysia and such, good luck.
Iranians have a long memory.
It drove Rushdie into hiding for years.

[TygrBright]

18. But HOW do we all "know about the bounty"?

I haven't heard anything from any reliable source.

At the moment it sounds like inflammatory bullshit to me.

curiously,
Bright

[cwydro]

27. Good luck with this.

It’s considered “true” on DU, along with a whole host of other “true” twitter stories.

[Midnight Writer]

43. Trump doesn't need a reliable source to believe anything.

He projects that his own Intelligence Services and Staff are just as dishonest and scheming as he is.

Plus, if you "hear" that a resort has, say, bedbugs, but you have no reliable proof, would that not affect your plans to stay at that resort?

One thing we have all learned from the Trump Administration is that facts, truth, evidence can all be replaced by "alternative facts".

[secondwind]

51. It's in the papers today

[Miigwech]

13. Just my own obsevation

Crazy times and crazy trump and the crazy closing in around trump ... he seems to really be losing it and his folks want to keep this under wraps

[greymattermom]

2. That kind of award may even attract some of his usual rally fans.

With their military style weapons.

[TheBlackAdder]

45. Twilight Zone's "The Mirror" reminds me of Trump. It's a dictator thinking everyone is out for him.

.

He starts thinking everyone around him is out to kill him, so he kills all of them first.

.

[marlakay]

3. Regular bully type paper tiger

Think they are tough but run if someone stands up to them.

[11 Bravo]

4. I'm not in favor of a bounty being placed on the head of a duly elected American President.

And if some miscreant should collect on it, I shall be, in the words of Susan Collins, "deeply concerned".

[SWBTATTReg]

6. Hey, in all fairness, I suspect with any president, there always is some sort of bounty put on a ...

president, regardless of who it is (who the president is). It's one of the unfortunate benefits of being president.

[unblock]

9. Frankly the last thing we need is for him to be assassinated

His supporters and enablers need to be humiliated by being seen as siding with a disaster that the country finally rejects.

Promoting him to martyr would be a disaster.

[Miigwech]

16. Well I think no one is, including me

But all I am trying to point out is that trump knows that fact that he has been targeted and he is paranoid scared, which should be concerning to every lawmaker and every American. We have a very mentally unstable Pres. ... add paranoid ... @#$*&^%$##@ - OK

[True Blue American]

21. Oh, yes, that would be

Deeply concerning, bless their hearts!

[uponit7771]

46. +1

[coti]

54. "Deeply"?? Oh, come on, let's not get overdramatic, here. nt

[Jamastiene]

61. Pfft!

You owe me a new keyboard.

[unblock]

5. Plus I'm sure he thinks he's worth more.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

28. maybe they'll offer a reduced bounty for just the hair ...

See, e.g., Ruthless People (movie with Bette Midler from the '80s).
"I've been kidnapped by K-Mart!"

[Thomas Hurt]

7. Trump will be out lying his @## off at his next rally for two hours.

I don't know what is going on with Trump but it is going to have to be much more public and debilitating to get rid of him.

[dewsgirl]

30. Tomorrow night. Toledo, OH We'll see how he acts, tomorrow night.

[AncientGeezer]

10. No....c'mon this is silly..laughably so

These terrorists can't even get Rushdie......and he doesn't have the backing of our Intel services or Secret Service

[Haggis for Breakfast]

53. $80 million is a LOT of incentive.

There are sleepers everywhere. And not all of them are hot-headed lunatics. For some, this is the last straw. Remember that bin Laden's final break was over the Saudi's allowing US forces in the area. Not a bombing. Not an invasion. Not an assassination.

If trumpie's isn't worried, he's a bigger moron that we thought.

[lamp_shade]

11. There's a rally tomorrow night in Toledo. No word yet if he'll cancel it.

He'll be a nervous wreck I suspect.

[Miigwech]

22. Didn't know that. So we will see if he shows

amidst he clearly panicked and paranoid display today. Maybe many drugs needed, so if he shows, well lets see if he has both hooves on the floor!

[True Blue American]

23. Remember how he dodged in the Dayton Municipal Airport

When a College student tried to get on stage?

[former9thward]

35. This bounty was a made up internet rumor.

Sad to see so many here fell for it.

[onenote]

36. sad but not surprising

[Silver Gaia]

47. It doesn't matter whether we believe it or not.

It matters whether or not HE believes it, and we all know he believes all sorts of crazy internet stuff. If it was rumored on the internet, and it was, then he's seen it. He may very well believe it. And even if there are people reassuring him it's not true, he may still be unsure. We can't know whether or not he believes it. I think the point is that his even more bizarre behavior today might indicate that he feels vulnerable in some way, and given what we know about his tendency to believe stuff he reads on the internet, this very well could be why.

[former9thward]

52. Ahh no.

Any president has access to far more information than any of us. If you want to believe otherwise there is no point in discussion.

[ck4829]

56. Voices in his head and what Alex Jones is saying right now don't count as information sources

Also:
His gut
Staying up late and watching TV
The comments section on Breitbart
What Ivanka tells him
WorldNetDaily
Jerry Falwell Jr cutting open a chicken and reading the entrails
What the now 40th big crying guy is saying
QAnon

Do not count as access to information either, sorry.

[Silver Gaia]

57. Information sources make no difference

if he only BELIEVES what he wants to believe, and that is usually conspiracy theories and the like.

[ck4829]

64. Indeedily-doo

Even if Trump could have access to fabled perfect information (The literal dream of rational choice theory), Trump will still go with "his gut" and what the leprechaun who tells him to burn things says.

[ck4829]

55. Very true

[Zoonart]

12. WH says...

He is going to the Clemson v LSU game in New Orleans .

[dhol82]

15. We'll see.

[Zoonart]

19. Indeed we will.

[dewsgirl]

31. Is that Saturday?

[Zoonart]

39. It is Monday.

[dewsgirl]

40. Thank you.

[dhol82]

14. My personal opinion about the reason he looked so bizarre at that news conference

is that he was having a massive panic attack. I think it started last night and he went bat shit crazy and continued into today.
Yes, he probably has cardiac issues and all the other stuff. But, what I saw was somebody scared shitless.
Don’t know who his keepers are at this point but they sure have a trip on their hands.

[RKP5637]

25. Same thoughts. This guy is used to being a bully, shouting, throwing money around in

situations/environments where he had some control and could also intimidate them. He's gotten himself into a deep hole with his big mouth. He has absolutely no idea what he's doing. I would think the pressure he is internalizing must be huge. He was definitely on something today. If not, he needs to be evaluated quickly. Hmmm, evaluated either way. The guy is a loose cannon rolling around.

[dhol82]

33. Yup.

[GeorgeGist]

17. Twitter nonsense.

[cwydro]

49. Yes indeed.

[cyclonefence]

20. This is genius

Doesn't matter if the bounty is real or not, doesn't matter if Trump is terrified or not--would you want to stay at any Trump property these days? Would you want to play golf at one of his courses? I bet this kerfuffle, serious or not, is costing Trump lots of money, and that makes me happy.

[Miigwech]

24. Agreed

We have nothing to fear but fear itself .... whoops ... unless you are toxic narcissist ... then you fear everything that you can't control

[SallyHemmings]

29. I am right there with you.

[onenote]

38. doubt it will have much impact.

How often is he at any of his properties other than Mar a Lago? There are plenty of folks who stay away from Trump's properties not because of any risk but because they don't want him to get a dime of their money. On the other hand, the folks that do stay at his properties tend to be big fans and they aren't going to stay away because of an internet rumor that has less chance of impacting them than getting food poisoning at one of his properties or getting killed by a stray golf ball.

Here's a question: how many members of Congress will stay away from the SOTU address because of this rumor?

[tinrobot]

26. He's probably trying to figure out how to fake his death so he can collect it himself.

The guy is so broke, he needs the cash.

[magicarpet]

32. Maybe trDump could sell some of the White House dishes and silverware to make ends meet.

If money is getting low for the trDump tribe they could pawn some of the White House antiques.

[Pachamama]

42. Bwahahaha....

This made me laugh - sadly, he is such a money grubbing slime, your right....

[LakeArenal]

34. Normally Dump ain't worth a plug nickel.

[Joinfortmill]

37. Agree

[Pachamama]

41. If this is true, I bet if a go-fund-me page was set up and people could donate with crypto currency,

there would probably be over 80 Billion from all over the world in a matter of days.

[warmfeet]

44. I'm in.

[Mr.Bill]

48. I'm sure Trump or any president in modern history

gets multiple death threats every day. But I have noticed since his first day in office you do not see him anywhere near unscreened crowds. He never walks along a rope line shaking hands. For that matter I don't recall Obama doing that either. It's sad, but it's just the way it is now. If Trump doesn't wind up in jail after leaving office he will have to live in a vault for the rest of his life. Jail may be the safest place for him, but then maybe not.

[Stinky The Clown]

50. No exactly true, exactly . . . . . .

https://www.businessinsider.com/soleimani-eulogist-calls-for-80-million-trump-assassination-bounty-2020-1

snippety . . . . .

"We will give a prize of $80 million to whoever brings the head of the person who ordered the killing and terrorism of our big revolutionary hero," the eulogist said in Farsi, Iran's main language, in a video posted on Twitter by the NBC News correspondent Ali Arouzi.

"Anyone who brings the yellow-haired lunatic to us will get $80 million from the Iranian people," the eulogist added.

Earlier reports circulating on social media erroneously said that the $80 million figure was officially backed by the Iranian government.

. . . . snip snip

[justgamma]

58. Wonder what kind of pre-nup the 1st nude has?

[Raine]

59. Death threats are common for all Presidents

I don't see that this one is any different. .

[jcmaine72]

60. No President received more death threats than President Obama.

And he got them from people far more hate-driven than the Ayatollahs of Iran. President Obama handled them all with brave aplomb. Yet another startling difference between the two.

[Jamastiene]

62. Why just his head?

That's too much work for $80 mil. Actually touching him, for $80 mil? Not even for that.

Yes, he is paranoid. I doubt he will cancel too many rallies. He likes to be worshiped far too much to not go do those.

[pecosbob]

63. Pretty sure both Bushes had prices put on their heads by a number of groups

If you're going to act all neo-con World Policeman and change regimes at whim that kind of thing's bound to happen. The really illustrative thing is that nobody abroad ever threatened to assassinate Obama...only vile and reprehensible Republicans did that.
