Giving out an ultimatum to blow up civilian infrastructure is a war crime right

    I think this is Trump. He hears the footsteps coming, so he’s getting desperate, and doing anything he can to stop the inevitable.

      He could try what Adolf did when the walls were closing in on him. That might be the only thing he could do this week to boost his approval numbers.

      He can’t actually do this. This would turn a lot of fencesitters against the USA, and give them a very clear and legally justifiable reason to do so.

      I mean, in no way am I super confident in this theory but there is something off to me about how egregious his posts were today.

        about how egregious his posts were today

        Right. Since he’s been much worse than usual today, I’m thinking he had a bad meeting with his lobbyist friends this morning, and all of them said, “Get this shit solved or we’re impeaching your ass and getting something figured out with Vance”.

        And Trump doesn’t care about fencesitters. He’s hoping he’ll come out ahead should he keep the lobbyists on his side.
