The King of Crazytown Can't Control The Chaos - Trump Thread #159

[Spandauer]

“Whether you’re a military analyst or a political analyst, whether you’re in the Democratic or Republican party, there’s a reality here. Donald Trump has met the moment of truth. The kind of fictional life that he’s led and evoked over the last four or five decades has now been unmasked as a deadly drama. It’s going to cost the lives of so many people. It’s going to devastate the US economy and the regional economy. It’s going to set back America and its standing in the world. It’s a horrific moment.”
Larry Jacobs, director of the Center for the Study of Politics and Governance at the University of Minnesota.

Heaven Obi-Wan Kenobi help us. You're our only hope.

Is there any maps of location being published ?

Thanks...could indeed be Combat Search and Rescue but of course could be other options since C-130s have all sorts of funny uses these days.

Flares could well being popped as Infra Red decoys rather than for illumination or signaling.

I guess we will have to wait and see if we get any more concrete info.

Not that I have seen

Let's hope it is that.

A French general just looked at Trump’s plan to build a runway inside Iran to fly out uranium under active bombing.
His response: “American officials should stop snorting cocaine between meetings.”

Vance has been made 'Fraud Czar'

New Game for us. Fake or Real.

Exhibit 1 image attached.

Real

The article I read said 'central Iran' which isn't particularly helpful given that Iran is a huge country

Maybe there will be geo-location data on the pics of the debris

That's the first truth from Trump about this illegal war- he wants the oil.

Agree that one's real - cheating a bit tho' as saw it elsewhere

.

Wait. Do you mean that is the first Truth he has posted about this war, meaning he posted it weeks ago. Or do you mean it's his first true Truth ?

I am confused :-)

I saw it on an "other" thread. I honestly thought fake.

I am TPF in case you weren't aware

Trump claims US could 'easily' open up strait of Hormuz but needs 'more time'
Donald Trump has been posting on his social media platform, Truth Social.

On Iran, he has written:

With a little more time, we can easily OPEN THE HORMUZ STRAIT, TAKE THE OIL, & MAKE A FORTUNE. IT WOULD BE A “GUSHER” FOR THE WORLD??? President DONALD J. TRUMP

Current petrol prices in the US.

Contrast effect on communities across Asia

The Gasbuddy map would be far more illuminating if they added a dimension of population in each price range. Because it feels like more people are paying >$5/gallon than $3/gallon, despite the impression the map gives.

(And remember: I never claim to be a statistician)

Apologies, I meant the latter. The first truthful thing he had posted.

Who remembers Gary Powers and how the Soviets slowly showed the US up as incompetent liars ?

Meanwhile, why on earth am I hearing echoes of Donald Trump in Paul Simons voice ?

Special relationship taken to a new level. There's a lot of heavy lifting going here 😂

Did you get that from the Sunday Sport? 🤣

NYT confirming US plane shot down.

American Fighter Jet Downed Over Iran, U.S. Officials Say.
The fate of the plane’s crew was unclear, as American officials scrambled to mount a search and rescue operation before Iran could get to any survivors, officials said. Iranian state media also said a jet had been downed.

Hearing that Bondi may have been fired so she can't testify on 14th April (which isn't the case).

Also Todd Blanche may not get the job
