Trump: "Upon information and belief, Iran or its proxies are planning a sneak attack..."

Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump

Upon information and belief, Iran or its proxies are planning a sneak attack on U.S. troops and/or assets in Iraq. If this happens, Iran will pay a very heavy price, indeed!

He wrote this himself. "Highly reliable intelligence" or "trustworthy & believable intelligence" would make sense.
This tweet doesn't!

That didn't take long and though he is the biggest fool of all on this day...

Hey, how about a nice distraction or two? Really. Isn't it time? You bet. Get out whatever you got and throw it like a monkey flinging poo now. That's how you handle a pandemic.

HEY! LET'S GO TO WAR! That mucho macho El Presidente gets ready to putt another pile of steamy deflection.

Brace yourselves and that's on BELIEF!

mount anything worth a hoot, being that they're probably pretty occupied w/ other things. rump is just trying to gaslight again. Of course no evidence either.

Nothing gets the holli-polli in the streets with torches and pitchforks like being hungry.

But, I have every confidence Ol' King Poop Midas will get there.

but famine is pretty slow moving, and maybe the newly unemployed 30% of the population will handle growing and picking the crops so they don't rot in the fields.

war is a much easier play, i feel like i should have seen this move coming
