Since returning from the disastrous summit in Helsinki, Donald Trump has been desperately searching for a distraction. On late Sunday evening, he reached for the ultimate attention grabber—threatening war with Iran. In a tweet delivered ALL CAPS to display his displeasure, Trump addressed Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, warning him “never, ever threaten the United States again” and, in a logic twisting exercise of the sort that leads to the failure of villainous movie super computers, Trump threatened to kill people … if there was a threat to kill people. xTo Iranian President Rouhani: NEVER, EVER THREATEN THE UNITED STATES AGAIN OR YOU WILL SUFFER CONSEQUENCES THE LIKES OF WHICH FEW THROUGHOUT HISTORY HAVE EVER SUFFERED BEFORE. WE ARE NO LONGER A COUNTRY THAT WILL STAND FOR YOUR DEMENTED WORDS OF VIOLENCE & DEATH. BE CAUTIOUS!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 23, 2018 To make matters even more tangled, it appears that the “threat” Trump was referencing was one in which Rouhani warned the United States shouldn’t start a war with Iran saying, as NBC News reports, that it would be “playing with the lion's tail.” So What Trump called Rouhani’s “demented words of violence and death” were actually a warning that a war between the United States and Iran would be bad. Meanwhile, Trump threatened to start a literal war over words. Words against war. If Trump’s words seem like a desperate attempt to sound tough, days after his on-stage demeanor with Vladimir Putin left him looking submissive and … even more submissive, that idea certainly has occurred to someone else. Where someone equals Donald Trump. xI predict that President Obama will at some point attack Iran in order to save face!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 16, 2013 What’s that again? xRemember what I previously said--Obama will someday attack Iran in order to show how tough he is.— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 25, 2013 Bad predictions… of President Obama. Read more
