Donald Trump |
Donald Trump shocked many last night as he tweeted a full-on, caps-lock threat to Iran.
According to newspaper reports, Iran's President Rouhani urged Trump to make peace with Iran.
Rouhani is quoted as saying “American must understand well that peace with Iran is the mother of all peace and war with Iran is the mother of all wars.”
Rouhani went on to warn Trump to stop “playing with the lion’s tail” and threatening Iran, “or else you will regret it.”
And so, the Trumpster's tiny fingers tapped out, "To Iranian President Rouhani: NEVER, EVER THREATEN THE UNITED STATES AGAIN OR YOU WILL SUFFER CONSEQUENCES THE LIKES OF WHICH FEW THROUGHOUT HISTORY HAVE EVER SUFFERED BEFORE. WE ARE NO LONGER A COUNTRY THAT WILL STAND FOR YOUR DEMENTED WORDS OF VIOLENCE & DEATH. BE CAUTIOUS!"

It's not clear who Trump was trying to impress with his swagger as Twitter has been banned in Iran since 2009. So, the folks there weren't reading this.
The Twitterverse immediately assumed some bad news is about to come down Trump's pike and this was a case of 'wag the dog.'
As we all know, Trump has tweeted the idea of threatening war with Iran as a distraction many times in the past.
There's always a tweet.
Now that Obama’s poll numbers are in tailspin – watch for him to launch a strike in Libya or Iran. He is desperate.— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 9, 2012
I predict that President Obama will at some point attack Iran in order to save face!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 16, 2013
Remember that I predicted a long time ago that President Obama will attack Iran because of his inability to negotiate properly-not skilled!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 11, 2013

Some Twitterers took the missive for the unhinged musing that it is and just inserted song lyrics at random:
