If there's one thing that has been consistent all these years with President Dotard, it's been the cycle of an event:

1. Do something that brings chaos and unrest to the world
2. Learn after the fact what the consequences of said action bring
3. ALL CAPS TWEET BEGGING FOR THE CONSEQUENCES HE INCITED BE STOPPED!

Lmao. That is legitimately funny because he is actually serious.

Just needed the classic thank you for your attention to this matter, signed off by Donakd J Trump.

Of course that's why he did it. He's a petulant, narcissistic toddler who's only motivation is whatever benefits him personally.

MTG has been going after Trump pretty hard recently on her twitter. It's interesting that Trump hasn't targeted her yet.

Shouldn’t the invisible hand of the free market ensure that oil companies don’t gauge consumers?

The insecure obsession that Trump and the GOP have with Biden and the Democrats is ####ing creepy. And sadly their dunderhead MAGA followers eat it up as righteous and accurate gospel.

Reminder that the dementia Mensa test Trump aced involves:

- spelling words backwards
- identifying animals
- drawing a given time on a clock

The "math" portion of this test requires him to count backwards in increments of seven, starting with the number 100.

I'm glad such rigorous testing took place before giving him the nuclear football!

Another reminder. Trump claiming he aced basic cognitive tests means he didn’t ace them at all, and most likely failed. Just as his physicals under Ronny Jackson show him to be one of the fittest, most svelte specimens on the planet.

The nuclear deal with Iran was working fine until Trump backed out of it. None of this would have happened if Trump didn't cause the problem to begin with.

It's always the same story with him. Say baseline is zero, he takes things down to -20 and then claims victory when they settle out at -5 (borrowed that analogy from Andrew Chang). Even if the ceasefire lasts and Iran comes back to the table to negotiate an enforceable nuclear deal, recent events pushed the redline substantially and it's not an easy thing to pull back.

ABC, Associated Press & the Washington Post are all confirming tonight’s CNN story.
The official damage assessment shows that US strikes did not destroy Iran’s nuclear program. It likely only set it back a few months.
And Iran’s enriched uranium is now missing.

New York Times & Reuters now also briefed by three sources on the failure of the US attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities.
The leaked damage assessment report also references two other secret Iranian sites that were not attacked and remain fully operational.

Yup, this is all over the major news outlets now. Fox News is of course downplaying the severity of the failure/embarrassment, but you know it’s bad when even those idiots are reporting on it.
