00:00:00
Trump has once again issued an ultimatum
00:00:02
to Iran. I think it's the 27th one,
00:00:04
posting on True Social on Easter Sunday,
00:00:06
quote, and let me just read this
00:00:08
correctly. Open the [ __ ] straight,
00:00:10
you crazy bastards, or you'll be living
00:00:12
in hell. Which sounds like a line from I
00:00:15
don't even think movies would write
00:00:16
those lines anymore. I don't mean to say
00:00:17
the word pearl clutching, but everyone's
00:00:19
like, "Oh, can you believe he said it?"
00:00:20
I'm like, "Yes, he seems cognitive
00:00:22
disabled to me. I'm not a doctor, but
00:00:23
he's as crazy as ever, and that's not
00:00:25
changed." Does that matter when he does
00:00:27
these sort of outbursts? I don't think
00:00:29
it's pearl clutching or or if it is like
00:00:31
I'm I'm I'm pearl clutching a little
00:00:33
bit. Not that I'm surprised, but that
00:00:35
I'm disappointed that we now have this
00:00:38
coarseness where the president of the
00:00:40
United States is tweeting fbombs. I
00:00:42
don't love that. Maybe that that's just
00:00:44
me as a small C conservative, but I do
00:00:46
wonder if there will be a backlash at
00:00:47
some point.
