"Although President Donald Trump says he has “destroyed 100% of Iran’s Military Capability”, the 0% that remains is playing havoc with the global economy".

How the Iran war is hurting Donald Trump

Donald Trump faces mounting political pressure as his war with Iran drives up petrol prices across America, threatening Republican prospects in the midterm elections.

@Climatehistories "An unpopular conflict and costly fuel could hobble his presidency"

So there's an upside?

@maccruiskeen 😁 However, it is also going to cost the Ukraine more blood as pootin is raking in the cash 😢 @Climatehistories
@Climatehistories Now that his acolites control the totality of information in his country, that's a fact that will be banned over there. I can recall another country, waging a war hidden from the eyes of its citizens.
@Climatehistories
People shouldn't watch any more Hollywood movies!

@Climatehistories

Boasting is not a political strategy…

If anything it is weakness.

@Climatehistories

If I were Trump I would absolutely lie all the time. His base is too stupid to figure it out or doesn't care and the leftists will tell everyone both sides are the same. Bernie Sanders has a frequent habit of showing up on right wing media and telling them both sides are largely corrupt.

What's the actual penalty for being the most dishonest and corrupt president of all time? The only people that oppose him are the Democrats and that's not going to change.

@Climatehistories Yes, that 0% seems to have a lot of drones and missiles... And people (bad) behind them who are not demented and imbecilic like Drumpf.

@Climatehistories

Next week Trump will declare that we destroyed the 150% of Iran's Military Capability
