United States President Donald Trump has threatened Iran after the funeral of slain Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei saw open calls for Trump’s killing and Israel warned him that the regime in Tehran was working on a plan to assassinate him.

In a typically bellicose post on his Truth Social platform on Saturday, Trump wrote: “1000 Missiles are Locked and Loaded and aimed at the Islamic Republic of Iran, with thousands of more to immediately follow, should the Iranian Government act on its threat, pronounced in many corners of the Globe, to assassinate, or attempt to assassinate, the sitting President of the United States of America, in this case, ME!”

He added: “Orders have already been given, and the U.S. Military is ready, willing, and able, ⁠for a one year period of time, subject to extension, to completely decimate and destroy all areas of Iran – PRAISE BE TO ALLAH!”

1. I can't even type what I'm thinking right now!

This is total insanity. Words fail to explain how anyone let alone a plurality of voters thought giving an obviously demented person control of the most powerful government in the world was a good idea. We will be lucky to come out the other side of this alive.

2. Threatening with that tiny fist.

9. The cowardice is unfathomable

3. That's not how democracy works

Or even how most any national government works. Even the dictator run countries don't blow up foreign countries they went to war with for profit.

When pedo Trump kidnapped Maduro, Venezuela didn't attack the US. When Pinochet walked away from his death grip on Chile then was prosecuted and died before he was convicted, no attacks or executions were ordered. Do you think if Venezuela manages to blow up Putin, Russia will continue it's war on the country?

Anyone who would follow those ridiculous orders of destroying a nation pedo Trump wants to extort through war should be removed immediately.

4. Is this just a threat?

Only one way to find out.

[Polybius]

5. Why are they just having the funeral for Ayatollah Ali Khamenei now?

Wasn't he killed like 6 months ago?

[Bayard]

7. I asked that last week

He must be very well preserved.

6. trump best check his stockpiles of weapons.

8. I'll bet they're shaking in their boots

[slumcamper]

10. Sounding like Kim Jong Ung??

11. Welcome to the circus, you have front row seating.The clown is in the center ring.

12. I'm willing to bet Big Macs get him before the Iranians...

Is there a link to buy him lunch?

[BigmanPigman]

13. Doesn't he mean the Islamic Republic of Japan?

Maybe in one of his psychopathic fits of rage he will start a war with Japan and instead of taking blame he'll double down and really attack them making up some BS excuse afterwards. He is so deranged at this point anything is possible.

14. Blah blah blah

what a whiny baby

[purr-rat beauty]

15. Quite an excursion ya got there

And the military will face consequences for following along.

[Aussie105]

16. Wouldn't it be poetic?

America (Trump) takes out the Iranian leader and expected surrender and a regime change.

What if Iran took out Trump . . . would it lead to a regime change - in America?

17. "Israel warned him that the regime in Tehran was

working on a plan to assassinate him”.

Can hardly rely on the same Israeli intelligence which slept through a major attack on their own territory a few years back.

Just sayin’.
