This is unsettling. This is something that should *not* be involved in a war, as history has shown us time and time again. We need to know what’s going on with Trump and whether we’re missing any information, because his disconnect from reality is becoming more and more obvious every day. It didn’t used to be every day. It was every so often, and then every week, and now every day. This does not bode well. So, here, have a look at his latest. With gratitude to Raw Story:
President Donald Trump warned Iran Saturday that unless it re-opens a critical shipping channel to U.S.-aligned vessels by Monday, “all Hell will reign down on them,” invoking God in his explosive threat and disturbing onlookers in the process. Iran has shut down access to the Strait of Hormuz – a critical shipping channel through which 20% of the world’s oil trade flows – to U.S.-aligned vessels in response to U.S.-Israeli attacks, sending oil prices soaring and rattling global stability.
To which we say “huh?” ‘All Hell will rain down on them’? Seriously, what is that supposed to mean? We’re going to drop the US on them because we’re already in hell on earth? Is he somehow going to open a door to hell over Iran? Wow. This is out in la-la land. We don’t have an infinite supply of weapons to do something like that. We’re already burning through them at an unprecedented rate.
On a side note, I went to CNN to look for something. We have retrieved the other F-15 pilot. He is injured but will be okay. But here’s the fun part:
Iranian military officials warn the “gates of hell” will open for the US and Israel if infrastructure strikes continue, returning Trump’s threat to unleash “all Hell” if Tehran does not make a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz by Monday.
Iran really does win in the social media battles. But they’re up against imbeciles, so it’s not hard to do. Their Speaker knows more about us than one might think. He also has Trump pegged and knows just what to say. You don’t want to respect the guy, because yo, we’re at war with his country, but he’s said some really spot-on things.
Last month, Trump threatened to target Iranian energy plants unless the Strait of Hormuz was reopened to U.S.-aligned vessels within 48 hours. He ultimately extended the deadline by five days and again by another five days. The end of Trump’s second deadline extension lands on Monday, and on Saturday, Trump reminded Tehran that only 48 hours remained. “Remember when I gave Iran ten days to MAKE A DEAL or OPEN UP THE HORMUZ STRAIT,” Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social. “Time is running out – 48 hours before all Hell will reign down on them. Glory be to GOD!”
Glory be to God. Whoa. Whaaaaat? Seriously? Trump has never been one for religion. The few times he might go to a church are purely for show. He might go somewhere tomorrow since it’s Easter. The Savior rose from the dead. Trump is threatening to create more deaths. Those two don’t work together. Please don’t jump on me about religion. That’s a personal choice. I am quoting what I know of Christianity. Trump using it as a prop is disgraceful.
The president’s threat – coupled with his invoking of God – disturbed many onlookers, including author, researcher, and clinician Sam Youssef, who described Trump’s remarks as “deranged” in a social media post on X to their more than 750,000 followers. Others, like Christopher Clary, an associate professor at the University at Albany, made a telling observation about Trump having invoked God in his threat.
“Trump [is] only one month into his Middle East war and he’s already signing off his tweets with Allahu Akbar,” Clary wrote to his more than 32,000 followers on X, with “Allahu Akbar” being an Arabic phrase that loosely translates to “God is great.” //// Marc Polymeropoulos, a former CIA officer and national security expert, made a similar observation. “Trump ending with a Christian nationalist version of Allahu Akbar is quite a thing,” Polymeropoulos wrote in a social media post on X to their more than 52,000 followers.
WHAM. There you go. Trump is pulling in a religion he fakes. He’s saying the same thing that has been involved in wars, except in English. That’s frighteningly wrong. If you remember, back near the beginning of this war, there were comments made to a safe line from people in the military that they didn’t feel free to practice their religion because of what Hegseth was trying to force on everyone. This from Trump is no better. This is heading in a bad direction and could cause an even bigger mess. We can’t ask what he was thinking because we know he doesn’t think. Is he going to TACO, or follow through? We’ll know on Monday.
See you soon!
Friends, I know everyone begs you for money. I promise that among all those asking for spare change, we are the smallest and the hardest-working. We’re a group of old, disabled people, except for one writer in his mid-50s. The rest of us are in our sixties and seventies, and this is a labor of love. All we’re asking for is the chance to keep telling the truth about Trump and help ensure democracy survives. If you can help, please do. Thank you. Ursula
“…all Hell will reign down on them.” Is he trying to say he will rule the country (reign)? I’m sure the correct word in this context is ‘rain’ (rain falls down), but Trump is such an ignorant, uneducated fool, he doesn’t know the difference. What does Trump even mean with this idea? Shit, he’s got me doing it. Now I can’t even write a coherent paragraph.
Ha, I was waiting for someone to pick up on the reign. He’s such a moron. He can’t reign. He’s in enough trouble as our ‘president’ without trying to take over another country who does *not* want him there.
He’s blustering. That’s what he means. Typical Trump thinking he can get away with things. Too bad it’s not working for him anymore. It hasn’t worked for quite awhile, but he can’t see it.
Heh. This seemed perfectly coherent to me, so if he’s got you doing it, I am too. 😉
