... "The Iranian delegation has expressed its protest to the American side and is now reviewing appropriate response to Donald Trump's recent verbal threats," Iranian officials said through Iran's semiofficial Tasnim news agency translated to English, adding that "any form of threat is considered a serious violation of the agreement."

It was unclear which of Trump's statements they were referring to, however earlier Sunday Trump posted on Truth Social that "we'll hit Iran very hard again, just like we did last week, only harder!!!" unless it stops "their highly paid PROXIES in Lebanon," referring to Hezbollah.

And in a phone interview Sunday morning with Fox News, Trump said he spoke with the Iranians overnight, delivering a stark warning that if Iran closes the Strait of Hormuz, the U.S. will "blow the s--- out of them."

"You close it and you won't have a country," Fox News' Trey Yingst reported the president's telling him Sunday morning. "You won't even make it back to your f------ country." ...

Well, they are negotiating with a mass murdering psychopath who killed over 80 of their leaders in a sneak attack, a clear war crime, so there is that. One place in the world where strutting about acting crazy doesn't exactly make you stand out.

"Peace talks stumble"? Someone tell the oil market that, the price will go up instead of down. Oh it's from Lamplighter who gets his news from Mad Magazine.

Only Trump could make the Iranian regime look downright reasonable and rational. Just when we think he may have come to his senses he has a complete meltdown and temper tantrum. How can anyone respect or condone this?

Meanwhile, the entire world gets to suffer while we all know he's going to have to agree to their terms eventually anyway.

Trump is just trying to keep his options open for he needs the ability for an all-out war to declare martial law if the midterms look like they are going the wrong way.

Trump takes on every task with a two-pronged attack that combines belligerence and incompetence.

You can't prove that...

But we can prove your boy informed... YOU...his base... that the word "dumb" has a "b" in it... because not many of you know that the word "dumb" has a "b" in it.

That's the only thing I've seen Trumpanzee get right.

#7 - Hilarious that he thought he had made a point of some kind. Like he had just discovered that there's a "b" at the end of the word. Maybe the doctors can add that to his weekly cognitive test.

Trump's big mouth always mucks things up.

How predictable was that? A 10-year old coulda seen it coming.

Plus the V.P who follows along behind him with a mop to clean up Trump's classless vulgarity.
