Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Tuesday, June 17, 2025

Donald Trump has posted on social media that the United States knows the location of Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. He added that the US would not kill Khamenei but called for Iran's "unconditional surrender". "We know exactly where the so-called Supreme Leader' is hiding. He is an easy target, but is safe there - We are not going to take him out (kill!), at least not for now. But we don't want missiles shot at civilians, or American soldiers. Our patience is wearing thin. Thank you for your attention to this matter!" Trump posted on his social media platform Truth Social. He followed up with a second post a few minutes later, writing: "UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!" In a post published about thirty minutes earlier, Trump said, "We now have complete and total control of the skies over Iran."

We told you that if Trump were elected the man would start a war.

We're about to have a Trump war of choice and a Trump recession of choice simultaneously.

As am I.

Especially if a random reporter is included in the chat.
