This is the ranting of a crazy person

[Pototan]

Even by Trump standards, this Easter message on "Truth Social" is as bizarre and unhinged as it gets. On edit: As per CNN, it turns out the article cleaned up the message. Trump actually spelled out "fuckin'" and "bastards". Amazing

The US president ordered Iran to "open the f**kin' strait" or otherwise face hell, with the 10-day deadline he gave on March 26 coming to an end in hours. He went on to say "Praise be to Allah" as he warned the attacks on Iranian infrastructure will be like nothing seen before.

1. Madman

2. Iran is thrilled. Their strategy is working perfectly.

Trump is making mistakes and looking foolish and insane.

[dem4decades]

3. It does seem they have a plan and he doesn't.

[Irish_Dem]

12. So far, Iran's plan has been perfect and brilliant.

US military must have steam coming out of their ears and cussing up a storm.

Their CIC, president of the US, has ZERO self discipline, poor judgement, and loose lips.
Runs his mouth putting troops in serious danger.

5. Trump doesn't need help to look foolish and insane.

[Irish_Dem]

13. They are pushing him to look worse than usual.

[Hey Joe]

14. LOOKING foolish and insane?!!

He is PROVING that he’s crazier than a
shithouse rat!
He needs to be removed by force and incarcerated in a padded cell deep below ground.

8. Hhhmmmm.....someone on another thread suggested

the similiar sounding one posted yesterday might have actually been written by hegseth. This one sounds very close...hegseth in a drunken rage because he can't fire one person to give his buddy the slot?

9. Not him

This ain't him (I know ain't is not a word).

11. Crazy and unhinged?

That’s absolutely him.

Sure, it could also be Miller or Cheung or some incel staffer, but what about any of that says it positively couldn’t be the insane man we’ve been seeing for years?

[malaise]

10. And effin no one in the US

Has taken him out in a “Strait” with jacket

15. trump is not well

I saw this circulating and assumed (hoped?) that it was fake. Alas, it’s real.

Not only does it reflect a rapidly unraveling president, it comes just days after he expressed indifference to the Strait of Hormuz during his WH address. (“We don’t need it. We haven’t needed it, and we don’t need it”)

16. MaddowBlog-As Iran war enters its 6th week, Trump's unhinged missive reveals panic and desperation

More than a century after a president said “speak softly and carry a big stick,” Trump believes in tweeting loudly and carrying an overused cellphone.

On September 2, 1901, Teddy Roosevelt told attendees at the Minnesota State Fair, “Speak softly and carry a big stick.”

Nearly 115 years later, a very different kind of president believes in tweeting loudly and carrying an overused cellphone.

As many Americans woke up on Sunday morning, they were greeted with heartening news worth celebrating: A missing American airman who’d been shot down over Iran had been rescued as part of a successful military operation. Common sense might have suggested that Donald Trump, on Easter morning, would want the public to focus on the breakthrough developments.

The Republican president, however, appeared eager to change the conversation. MS NOW reported:

Fresh off the daring nighttime rescue of the U.S. airman shot down in Iran on Friday, President Donald Trump warned Iran Sunday morning, ‘Open the F*****’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell – JUST WATCH!’

The president then set a new deadline of 8 p.m. ET on Tuesday for Iran to reach a deal with the U.S., making yet another extension.

.....On Sept. 2, 1901, Teddy Roosevelt told attendees at the Minnesota State Fair, “Speak softly and carry a big stick.” Almost 125 years later, a very different kind of president believes in tweeting loudly and carrying an overused cellphone.

Journalist and historian Garrett Graff described Trump’s online message as “the most unhinged public comment by a president in U.S. history,” and though the competition is admittedly fierce, the assessment seemed more than fair. It was the kind of deranged missive that, in most advanced democracies, would immediately generate speculation about whether he could reasonably expect to remain in office.

But when we step back and assess the madness in context, what we see is a desperate and flailing president who doesn’t appear to have any idea what to do about an unnecessary war he doesn’t know how to end.

Trump’s online message, in other words, reflected panic.

Indeed, one of the great ironies of Trump’s public posture is that every time he tries to convey strength and command, he ends up doing the opposite. Instead of showing leadership, he comes across as a toddler throwing a tantrum after failing to get his way.
