Is Trump’s confrontation with Iran a ploy to get re-elected?

Not possible. Only a complete idiot would think that a President could use a war with Iran to get re-elected.

Kidding aside, Trump does not seem to want this war, but I don’t like the way things are going. Iran just shot down one of our naval drones, then followed that with some belligerent declarations.

  1. Typical libtard/snowflake response. When unable to debate clearly and reasonably, start throwing personal insults. Once again, I merely asked a question. You were the one who responded in an insulted, ‘why are you picking on me???’ manner.

    I was not offended or triggered by your statement, I simply wanted to know why you thought ‘yuge’ was apparently incorrect. You are obviously unable to explain why that particular pronunciation bothers you so.

    That’s OK. I was just asking.

    1. There it is. Get the Rolodex out baby! Libtard. Snowflake. Triggered.

      You forgot religious freedom, free speech, political correctness. You guys still using cuck? That’s a good one too. Not sure how you came up with this one. Maybe it was that pizza conspiracy thing? Is that one still around?

      You guys project so much, its hilarious. It’s funny what peer reviewed studies shows about how your brains work, and that objectively you guys are the ones so triggered:

      1) “In a 2012 study, liberal and conservative participants were shown collages of both negative and positive images on a computer screen while their eye movements were recorded. While liberals were quicker to look at pleasant images, like a happy child or a cute bunny rabbit, conservatives tended to behave oppositely. They’d first inspect threatening and disturbing pictures—things like car wrecks, spiders on faces, and open wounds crawling with maggots—and would also tend to dwell on them for longer. Essentially, to many conservatives the world looks like a much scarier place. This would seem to explain why so many major conservative viewpoints tend to be rooted in irrational fears”

      Explains why any discussion on any comments section regarding actual concepts and research go nowhere with you guys. Case in point, I bring up several legitimate actual issues with Trump – you can’t defend any of them in a debate. Then you nitpick some meaningless word to dwell on.

      2) Also: “Using MRI, scientists from University College London have found that students who identify themselves as conservatives have a larger amygdala than self-described liberals. This brain structure is involved in emotion processing, and is especially reactive to fearful stimuli. It is possible that an oversized amygdala could create a heightened sensitivity that may cause one to habitually overreact to anything that appears to be a potential threat, whether it actually is one or not.”

      Explains the rallies, the Twitter, the Fox News obsession. I guess I shouldn’t be so hard on you guys, maybe you just have brain issues like your hero. Hopefully you guys get help with your issues.

      1. Shiva H. Vushnu, it pains me to admit, but Gent isn’t all wrong here.

        It’s one thing to know a cow pie when you see one. It’s another to see one and go, “Hey, it’s a cow pie, don’t step in it”. But when you’re screaming “Cow pie!?! I hate these fucking things!!” and taking a running leap and landing on it with both feet – that may not be the best thing to do nor end well for you. Maybe get laid this weekend. Or get drunk enough to wake up with vague, embarrassing memories. If you can’t have fun, The Orange Terrorist has already won.

  2. I’m asking a simple question with no political implications, why are you so triggered by this, as if I didn’t know?

    1. You responded to me. You’re the triggered one. You were offended I made a comment about your cult leader, snowflake. Not the other way around.

      Go back to your conservative ‘safe zone’ pussy. How’s that for triggered?

  3. Why do you make fun of the way Trump says the word Huge. In saying it ‘yuge’, he is pronouncing it correctly, the H is silent, although pronouncing the H is also accepted.

    from dictionary.com:
    “huge[ hyooj or, often, yooj ]
    SYNONYMS|EXAMPLES|WORD ORIGIN”

    1. My apologies. I listed about five different ways he’s immediately manipulated, that you cannot even deny based on his factual behavior, and what you take from it is how huge was spelled. Sums you guys up in a nutshell.

      Hate Iran. Love Saudi Arabia.
      Hate China. Love Russia.
      Hate Liberals. Love Kim Jong-un.

      Glad your priorities are so straight here. Quick, someone made another photoshop on Twitter! To the persecution complex machine!!

    2. Dictionaries are not prescriptive. They don’t determine right or wrong pronunciations. They describe the way words are pronounced. “Yuge” is a regionalism peculiar to the NY-to-Philly metroplex, plus Cork and Dublin in Ireland. Outside of those areas, it sounds completely weird to about 99% of English speakers.

      And there’s no need to single out Trump. Bernie Sanders, another New Yorker, also pronounces it that way.

      It is unknown in Britain. Here’s the OED entry:

      1. So, after all that, my statement is correct. ‘Yuge’ is acceptable as a pronunciation of the word.

        Sorry if he got all bent out of shape over that simple question, but, what can I say?

  4. Well you’ve got a President, basically a trash-talking ignoramus, who knows zilch history in general and probably next to nothing about the Middle East and West Asia, areas with a very complex history. You have a Secretary of State who wanders around saying things like Trump has been raised up by God to save Israel. You have a foreign policy honcho who is a wingnut and was part of the second Iraq fiasco. You have a vacuum at Defense and an intelligence network the Stable Genius doesn’t listen to because they don’t tell him what he wants to hear. And idiot pols like Cotton who think a war would be a stroll in the park.
    Then there are our two main allies, one run by a scumball who wants a war and the other run by a homicidal maniac.
    And then there’s Iran, a theocracy full of itself and the state within a state of the Republican Guard (it wasn’t the Serbian Govt’s idea to kill the Archduke, it was their military intelligence). And proxies all over the place not completely controlled by their foreign bankrollers and with their own interests.
    Nothing to worry about. Jared will save the day.

    1. Iran just needs to learn the game.

      1) Call Trump and tell him how yuge his inauguration crowd was years ago, and he’s doing a unbelievable, believe me, job and they thought the drone was sent by BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA that why they shot it down. Also throw in an Iranian styled McDonald’s value meal for him.

      2) Like four or five Tweets on his Twitter page, and declare on Twitter that he’s doing a great job, and Iran will put 25% tariffs on all Mexican imports! (Doesn’t matter if they import anything, just do it.)

      3) Also throw in something about Hillary’s emails or something. Go dig in that inbox and do a blanket search for Hillary and find some mention some low level ambassador sent years ago or something, and then tell him you found THE SMOKING GUN EMAILS!! Then Lindsay Graham can immediately push for another $20 million Senate investigation.

      Comeon Iran, this isn’t not hard. Negotiating with Trump is like letting your 5 year old nephew win at checkers.

      1. You forgot to name a golf resort in his honor. Or a potential shit hole disguised as a future condo complex.

  5. Pro-Trump comments not loading again today.

    Anyway, genius, go look at bloomberg. Merkel agrees with Trump.

    1. Nice of your reply to start off with another censorship conspiracy. God knows how you people LOVE your free speech persecution complex. I don’t even give you people the benefit of your fetish, say whatever the hell you want, I don’t care.

      It’s just sad that your entire platform is just that your lives are so pathetic, you actively seek out things to affirm your ‘persecution’ instead of doing actual research or taking a class to understand things better. Maybe try that, and your lives wouldn’t be so miserable as to want to feel better by trying to make everyone else as miserable as you people are.

    2. Has nothing to do with pro-Trump. Any time a comment includes a link, it goes into a pending file for manual review. (Most of those are spam.) Since I’m not on 24/7, there can be a delay.

    1. It’s not hard to find the comments from Japan, the UK’s opposite party, Germany (up until recently), UN representatives, among others who have questioned it.

      Now even Trump flying off the cuff again, opposite of before:

      [“I find it hard to believe it was intentional,” Trump said during a White House meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

      “I think they made a mistake, and I’m not just talking the country made a mistake. I think that someone under the command of that country made a big mistake,” Trump said.”]

      The point isn’t whether Iran did or didn’t do something, the point is he does absolutely no research on ANYTHING and his entire worldview is based on what he hears randomly or who compliments him or is against him at the time. Guessing his latest Iran comments come from a nice phone call or something.

      Tomorrow morning after another 4 hours of sleep and FOX News binge watching he’ll jump onboard whatever they say until the next compliment or aggravation.

  6. Trump has no motivations other than his binary perspective on what’s either for or against him, at any given time, in his dementia afflicted mind.

    It took him no time to say that Iran was responsible for attacks on an oil tanker, despite other countries calling into question the report.

    Meanwhile, there is encyclopedic knowledge of things like Saudi Arabia’s ordered murder of a US citizen on sovereign territory, Russia’s ordered murder of a journalist who was exposing corruption in the government, and North Korea’s laundry list of death camps and execution squads.

    Yet, since he may have exchanged pleasantries and gotten a compliment to the above dictators, he ignores it all and even endorses them.

    Our government is literally run by a sociopath with no cognitive ability, who also likely has severe mental illness, with war hawks like John Bolton in office. I think we’ve been extremely lucky to this point that there’s been virtually no rogue attacks that can be used to justify war in his regime, because he could be easily manipulated to do so.

    The only thing saving that at this point is his complete inability and effectiveness in getting staff to carry out orders, because they don’t take the ramblings of a madman seriously.
