Trump threatens to attack Iran's power plants if Strait of Hormuz not opened within 48 hours

So I have a crackpot theory…

The Mueller tweet and now this, I’m starting to actually believe this isn’t Trump at all, and this is a team conspiring to 25th him and give them an out of the Iran situation.

Like “ok, we admit it he’s gone nuts, so whoopsie and Iran don’t worry we will make this right so let’s just settle down now”

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 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.

Oh yeah the orange turd only does logical and legal things have you not been paying attention?

I have, and that’s my point.

Obviously he’s done stupid shit. But as far as I can see, this is the only time he’s issued such a specific threat with a agressively specific deadline…ever? And it happens to be an obvious and very serious war crime.

And right after a tweet that goes out of its way to be extremely tasteless, even for Trump.

It’s just…off. His bluster doesn’t usually scare me, at all. This one scares me.
