Tumps exact words today!

WTAF? That sounds like he is about to drop a Nuke!

How the hell has the world got here?

Trumps truth social posts sounds more like something that a dramatic gleeful tv presenter would say in a game show. Not something a world leader threatening to blow up an entire civilisation.

What a load of old tripe.

I think the handmaids tale is living itself out in the strict Sharia law counties not the usa or democratic western countries.

These people are being ordered out. Their lives are controlled on a miniscule level.

Please tell me, whether you are in the US supporting Herr Trump or here in the U.K. supporting Herr Farage, when all of these displaced people turn up - having been ‘bombed into the Stone Age’ and therefore having no infrastructure to live (desalination plants gone = no way of sustaining life btw)- tell me, are you one of the pearl clutching anti migrant brigade?

Anyone else in the UK setting their alarm clock for 1am for when the show starts?

No I would rather not know. It's hardly something to celebrate. There's a fair countries that would like to watch us be burnt to the ground. One day it be our turn. Such is war

@Hallamule yes it is and it's also possible to believe that they won't bomb them back to the stone age but will try and get a shift in this regime.

I'm surprised no one else saw the lady crying on sky saying how desperate are we that we have begged another country to bomb us

These people are living in giant prison camps.

Reports from inside Iran have said that any support for Trump has disappeared. There no surprise given the US bombed a school full of children, has stated they they intend to bomb the majority of civilian infrastructure and have threatened to invade and destroy the civilians livelihood via the oil. Prior to Trump, negotiations were close to getting the enriched uranium. Now Trump has very successfully locked in support for the current regime, killed the leaders who disnt want a nuke and replaced them with hardliners and given the Iran Government an amazing way of getting billions of dollars per day to rebuild their arsenal. Just like Israel’s attack on Gaza, they have guaranteed the creation of future generations of terrorists and slaughtered huge numbers of civilians. Nothing about this war has come even close to helping the Iranian people or removing terrorism. It’s guaranteed the opposite.
how utterly heartbreaking. Trump and Netanyahu need to be removed as fast a possible.

BluebellShmoobell · 07/04/2026 21:59

Can someone Iranian come on here and tell me what they think please? My daughter works for Iranians and they are hugely supporting trump, I have no idea, im a working class English woman who can feel frightened about what's going on but I cant really have an opinion as ive not lived under a strict islamic state and from what my daughters bosses have said we really dont want to.

AnSpideog · 07/04/2026 22:04

@BluebellShmoobell of course you can have an opinion. Even if Iranians are clinging on to the hope of regime change because of this war, I don’t think it’s going to happen. Trump already admitted that there plan to supply weapons failed. It’s just very difficult to see how regeime change will come from this this.

And what is absolutely going to happen is that people are dying and the entire world economy is going to be affected. So we all have a right to an opinion.

HRTQueen · 07/04/2026 22:05

I know a number of Iranians, with family in Iran theu are desperate for the regime to fall I don’t think it comes down to if the support Trump it is about can at last they really be rid of a a regime that has made their lives a misery

and this is closer than they have ever been

Does your daughter work for Iranians living in Iran, or Iranians safe on the other side of the world?

I imagine he’s going to lie and say progress was made to avoid having to do something awful that won’t have any benefits to him.

No, am serious. Iran is a very dangerous country and their leaders are far crazier than he is. Open the Straits and the threat goes away.

Strait. There’s only one.

"The show"? That phrasing makes it sound as though that you find death and destruction entertaining!

I've just checked CNN's website and it mentions the looming deadline, nothing about the war ending?

Why should this thread exist? It's because a man who has serious personality disorders and is implicated in the Epstein files ( his name comes up more than Maxwell's), needs a deflection and has no support from those who surround him.

That man is Donald Trump, President of the US.

PottingBench · 07/04/2026 22:14

Hi2u · 07/04/2026 19:32

I don’t hold a strong view on Trump’s cognitive ability but In most cases people form opinions that align with the narratives or perspectives they already subscribe to.
Most people on mumsnet have confirmation bias
Try challenging yourselves.

Stop with the ridiculous word soup.

It's not his age that's making people say he's crazy - it's the evidence he presents every time he opens his mouth or touches a keyboard.

Britainisgreat · 07/04/2026 22:14

Nothing will happen though.

At this rate, he’ll soon be sharing the Epstein files to distract us from the war

Dragonflytamer · 07/04/2026 22:18

The ordinary Iranians must be thinking if this is how the West behaves maybe they were better off with the Ayatolla.

Why? Are the Aytollahs carpet bombing Slough?

It isn’t fit for humans now.

Exactly what people are going to be arriving if he chucks a couple of megatons on Tehran?

He (and others) gets away with this shit because it's beneficial for others to think that just maybe, he's that insane that he might actually do it. Trouble is that, sooner or later, with the removal of protections and other equally batshit motivations at play, one of them actually will. If it happens to be now (which I doubt, but who the fuck knows?), I'm pretty sure that nobody's going to fuck around and find out if he then decides to annexe Greenland, Finland, Kingston-upon-Thames and the third sunbed on the left at Bondi Beach.
