This guy does not have complete control over anything, including his butt hole, bladder, or mouth. Why does anyone believe a word that slips past those fat painted lips of his is beyond me?!

And his cultists will have conveniently forgotten about our abandonment of the Kurds during his first term, and suddenly be pro-expansionism again…
It sounds like he's talking about American technology used by Israel, not about America acting directly.
Apologizer
Cool how the president can just declare war now with no heads up or permission from Congress with no consequences. The democrats sure have gotten fucking quiet these last several weeks
It's totally the fault of the people with no power! Down with the powerless! Down with the powerless!

The last time the US formally declared war was WWII. Presidents, both blue and red, have been taking advantage of the incredibly weak War Powers Act for decades now.
Pretty much this. Multiple generations of war TV have pointed this out. MASH has an episode about it for chrissakes.
I don't even think the Democratic party exists anymore, not really.. Just crickets

The ranting of a senile man with unknown amount of partial control over the military and government .
It is terrifying, especially after he said Tehran should evacuate. He completely freaked out a city the size of New York.

Americans, if you follow Trump into Iran you'll officially confirm that you do, indeed, deserve fascism.
“He wasn’t in control at all”
Our economy is just about fucked, so why not start a war? That's what we do, right?
We all know how this is gonna go if we go down this path. Ah, the good ol' days.
You mean the old good old days?
I forgot about those! I totally had some as a kid, you have brought back some memories.

"Be vewy vewy quiet. We aww in totaw contwow now."
Hey Republicans, you can fire him at any point. You can also reign him in at any time. Why aren't you?
Why would they stop him from doing what they want?
It has nothing to do with us. Trump you are a piece of human shit.
War has always been business.
Pretty insulting to human shit. Not sure what it did to deserve that.
