In a Friday appearance before reporters from the tarmac at Fort Bragg, President Donald Trump was questioned on what's left to bomb in Iran if he truly "totally obliterated" the country's nuclear sites as he's previously claimed.

The off-camera reporter cited Trump's speech after last June's military strikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities, in which he deemed the bombings a "spectacular" success that had "completely and totally obliterated" their targets. "What's left to go after?" questioned the reporter.

"Well, you could get whatever the dust is down there," responded Trump. "That's really the least of the mission. If we do it, that would be the least of the mission. But we'd, you know, probably grab whatever's left," before adding that Iran "has been obliterated, as you know."

Last week, Trump spoke with NBC Nightly News anchor Tom Llamas, insisting that the Supreme Leader of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, "should be very worried" about U.S. threats of force. According to a Friday report from The New York Times, when Trump threatened military action on Iran last month, "the Pentagon was in a poor position to back him up."

1. He couldn't answer the question. He's a cornered criminal rat that will do anything to divert from the Epstein files.

Grow a spine pukes before he destroys the world.

[democrank]

2. ".....probably grab....."

Trump is so in over his head.

[LiberalArkie]

9. Grab whatever is in the vaults like the Bush people did in Baghdad when they got there.

Remember Heritage is old school. Old school says that war is to rape and pillage the defeated country. Take their treasury back home to fill the conquerors vaults.

11. He is governed by whim--his and others.

There is nothing strategic whatsoever. He is like a kid playing with toy soldiers before his mommy tells him to go to bed.

[no_hypocrisy]

3. Reminds me of a stupid textbook from the Forties.

It said that if a person in Massachusetts were found guilty of witchcraft, for the first offense, he/she would burned to death.

Which leads me to the next question: What did they do to you if you did it again?

[Harker]

8. Use witchcraft to reanimate you so they can do it again?

[johnnyfins]

4. I really like that this reporter asked this.

A lot MORE of this please!!!

[pandr32]

12. It is like a breath of hope.

We need more of this by intelligent reporters. Old lardass needs to be exposed as the vacuous airbag he is--all greed and no reason.
The lights are on, but nobody's home.
Excellent point made!

[johnnyfins]

5. Use his ridiculous, over the top, language

Against him.

[Dave Id]

6. ...and that damned Sweden...

refuses to award Trump the Nobel Peace Prize which he 'so richly' deserves. Go figure!

[Escurumbele]

21. Its not Sweden, its Norway

Nobel Peace Prize awarded to Venezuela's María Corina Machado
The Nobel Peace Prize is awarded and presented in Norway (specifically Oslo) by the Norwegian Nobel Committee, a five-member group appointed by the Norwegian Parliament (Storting). While other Nobel Prizes are awarded in Sweden, this specific award follows the will of Alfred Nobel.

7. He has said if we are at war there will be no elections

he'll start one but it'll be a short one lasting only a few weeks, ending the first week of Nov.

[Seinan Sensei]

19. "Wag the Dog"

[paleotn]

10. Shut the fuck up, Donnie.

Or perhaps don't shut the fuck up. You're just digging yourself deeper every time your dementia brain connects with your yap.

[Exp]

13. A poll question I'd like to see: How much of his brain do you Trump still has? My A:

He could just "probably grab whatever's left" with his tiny, tiny hands.

[usonian]

14. Translation:

[generalbetrayus]

15. There is precedent for what Orange Julius was talking about.

My older brother flew an A-7 attack bomber over North Vietnam for six weeks shortly after the notorious Christmas carpet bombing of Hanoi and Haiphong. He told my mother that he didn't know why he was making those bombing runs because all he was doing was "making the rubble bounce",

[ShazzieB]

17. Oh, I forgot about that one!

Fucking Tricky Dick.

So many unnecessary atrocities in that war (not that atrocities are EVER necessary, of course). Every escalation just dug us in deeper and led to further escalation.

When I was in college in the early 70s, a popular graffiti slogan was; "Nixon pull out (like your father should have)!"

[generalbetrayus]

23. My favorite was "Don't change Dicks in the middle of a screw, vote for Nixon in '72."

[2na fisherman]

16. Radioactive Dust?

"Well, you could get whatever the dust is down there." If there are any remnants of nuclear materials down there, it sure doesn't make sense to scatter them with more bombing runs. He shows his ignorance about the hazards of such materials by making statements like this. But he's the President who reportedly said, "We have nukes, why can't we use them?"

[ShazzieB]

18. He constantly shows his ignorance about everything.

He knows NOTHING about ANYTHING, but insists that he knows "more than anybody" about EVERYTHING.

[Aussie105]

20. Of course Iran won't think of complaining, will they?

They will just bow down and apologize for being sneaky, won't they?

And they won't think of some sort of kickback, will they?

Won't be thinking of a plane hijack and flying it into some US buildings. 9/11 style, or putting a bomb on a plane like the Lockerbie plane crash?
Would they be that rude?

Questions:
1. Does Donny not know or learn from history?
2. It's not paranoia thinking others are out to do you harm if you have given them lots of reasons to do so.
3. Trump is using a big shovel to bury fallout from Epstein. Should we let him?

[calimary]

22. I am SO DAMN TIRED of this S.O.B. That I almost can't stand it anymore.

But I still am DETERMINED to outlast him and to encourage Democrats to undo all the damage he’s been allowed to do. SOMEBODY could have stopped him before all of this shit happened. But nobody who could, bothered to.
