This bad for all of the reasons, but it’s also amusing for the variety pack of dangerous shit, obvious lies, and petty boasting.

First president to join an NFL broadcast? Good for you, man.

Can we at least all agree that Trump’s strategy of insulting as many allies as possible before starting his war against Iran is not going well at all?

Luttig: Every single time Donald Trump opens his mouth or takes an action, the American people are forced to go into court and litigate. That’s the tragic place America finds itself in today.

It is only the Supreme Court that is standing in the way of the American people saving their country.

Buttigieg: "We lived through a war that was sold to us on false pretenses when I was younger. This war has not been sold on any pretense. The president just went ahead and did it."

The way our nation turned its back on those who helped us at great risk to themselves and their families is an unforgivable national shame.

We owed Mohammad Nazeer Paktyawal. Instead, ICE arrested him in front of his children and he died in their custody. We failed him and his family.

During the process of standing up my next book, someone told me, "get ready to be famous," and I was like, "I'm already famous enough, more than I want to be honestly. What I need is money."

Here’s my plea to the national security press: don’t report what he announces at face value. You’ve been suckered over and over to cover his fake trade deals and ceasefire “announcements” like they are real. He’s desperate to look like he’s got a plan. Make sure it’s not fake.

Foreign policy experts say the war in Iran was not necessary. A guy who beats his wife and drinks four gin-and-tonics before lunch every day says that it was. For busy Americans, it can be hard to know who to trust.

Ossoff: "The WH put out a video depicting this war as a video game. When service members are returning in flag-draped coffins, & even more have lost limbs or suffered brain injuries or are fighting for their lives, this WH treats war like a game. It's a disgrace. And it speaks to a moral rot."

Trump: "We're being nice. I could take out things within the next hour, power plants that create the electricity, that create the water, they have desalinization all over the place. We could do things that would be so bad they could literally never rebuild as a nation again. We're trying to be nice"

Eh, why should we research Alzheimer's, diabetes, cancer, and heart disease? It's not like these issues could ever possibly affect me, personally, because I, like every Republican, have no conception of time, probability, or cause and effect, I exist in a void filled solely by malicious urges.

Trump Knew the Risk of Iran Blocking the Strait of Hormuz. He Still Went to War. The president told his White House team that Tehran would likely capitulate before closing the strait, the world’s most vital shipping lane.

CNN: Trump underestimated problem of Hormuz
Trump: FAKE NEWZ!!
WSJ: Trump's advisors didn't underestimate the problem, Trump kept the smart ones out of the room and ignored what contrary advice he got

Trump’s comments were somewhat of a moot point — a day before his post was made, Iran Sports Minister Ahmad Donyamali had already said that the team wouldn’t participate. “Considering that this corrupt regime has assassinated our leader, under no circumstances can we participate in the World Cup.”

Trump’s Advice for Iran to Skip World Cup “for Their Safety” Leads Commentators to Question If He Is Threatening Players Iran had already decided not to take part in the World Cup in North America this summer, citing the U.S.’s attacks.

Trump suggested that the Iranian national soccer team should not come to the U.S. for the FIFA World Cup this summer, “for their own life and safety,” Trump wrote. Trump’s ambiguous post could be interpreted as a direct warning to players.
