President Trump warns Iran that an attack on anything American would be met with 'great and overwhelming force' and lead to 'obliteration'

Washington President Donald Trump threatened Iran with"obliteration" on Tuesday, saying that an attack on"anything American will be met with great and overwhelming force."

"In some areas, overwhelming will mean obliteration. No more John Kerry & Obama!" the President tweeted. Earlier Tuesday, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said the White House is"suffering from mental disability" and behaving as"no sane person" in the wake of new sanctions imposed by US this week -- partly in retaliation over the downing of an American drone.

ChrisCoons Military confrontation shouldn't be any 'resort'!

ChrisCoons Congress NOT President, granted war power [Constitution Art 1, Sec 8, sub 1} Congress needs to assert it authority, pass legislation NOW before US gets in another unending war, limiting Pres deployment of military/naval forces etc. US Congress irresponsible no doing it's job.

ChrisCoons Nuke them first

ChrisCoons President Trump is handling Iran the correct way tightening the 'sanctions' and drawing a line if Iran crosses they will indeed feel the power of America! !

ChrisCoons Fools acutely underestimating a war with Iran ; they will hit on all fronts !

ChrisCoons So true.

ChrisCoons Remember the Iraq war was suppose to cost 250,000,000 dollars and be over in two weeks!! Bolton was there too. Lucifer’s mustache.

FAKE NEWS 😎

ChrisCoons And I am concerned that Coons doesn't have any marbles upstairs!!

ChrisCoons Under any circumstance there should be no boots on the ground. Any military actions that’s necessary should be done other than putting Americans in Iran. Bombs missiles are all OK

ChrisCoons

Right on. Take zero 💩. I’m glad our days of being a weak wussie nation are over.

ChrisCoons It is easy to criticize if you don't have to solve the problem or fully understand the problem and solving the problem was not giving Iran the green light to a nuclear weapon.

ChrisCoons To all who want war.

ChrisCoons For CNN, wanting war (at least at some point) is a prerequisite for the guests they select.

ChrisCoons Bottom Line.

ChrisCoons Lol ooo no just look at the map. And see where else we have troops we are going in Iran😢 can we go back to the moon or just do something beside trying to rule the entire world 🌎

ChrisCoons Iran is capable of sinking an aircraft carrier!!!

ChrisCoons Democrats, Media, Iran. BTF's 'Best Terrorist Friends'

ChrisCoons Sounds good. So, tell Iran to calm down and know their place and there won’t be a problem

ChrisCoons I'm glad that the president pushes back when countries like Iran threaten American citizens.

Donald, Daddy never taught you that the bully is always the weakest one in the room. The US doesn't have to make blustering, pointless threats. Everyone already knows what we can do.

Destroy all there nuclear buildings on top of ground and below if we forced to take action.

Good. They are bad actors and have financed killing Americans.

Is it true that “TheDonald ‘s” bone spurs are healed and he is going to lead the troops?realDonaldTrump

He can talk all he wants, but I fear he is on his own if he acts.

Trump compromised by rape accusation, that’s his reaction.

Does Trump not realize the world knows he’s full of hot air?

What's wrong with this two countries self

🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸

Trump's breaking the 'Iran Deal' is his fault. If he wipes them out with bombs that will only lead to the obliteration of The U.S..

Ha! Ha! The dog barks again !

Does this include American cheese?

The United States Army

This guy a clown

Let’s get it on

President Trump we are on standby

Always ready

Well.... Yeah. I would hate to get into another war but if Iran wants to pick a fight, they'll get a real good ass woopin. Please Iran, stop, just stop. Please.

Mr Big Mouth and No Action!!!!

He doesn’t know what those words even mean

Guess you like those lines in the sand. Especially when they keep moving. We need to call this like it is. The second coming of Obama. Fail

Tom&Jerry cartons no harm feelings just having fun

I guess somebody was watching '300' yesterday. Another Leon, another Persian...'Now, here on this ragged patch of earth called Plataea, Xerxes' hordes face obliteration!'.

Guess critical sanctions are now diplomatic talks.

My calculations maybe a bit off, but isn't 'obliteration' more than 150 death averted from last no go mission🤷‍♂️

Give it a few months and they’ll be exchanging wonderful letters. The best letters.

Oh here we go again. This is a rerun. Wasn’t good the first time around.

Trump trying to sound tough after aborted military strike. Pathetic man

Blah, blah, blah. Potus talks the talk but doesn’t walk the walk. Loser in Chief.

Absolute madman, he's gonna nuke em.

What a liar

His exit strategy is to hide under some mountain if Russia joins forces with Iran and blow the world to hell

Wow, dumb questions. We want these daily?

This is the same idiot who said he didn't care what happens to the deficit because he won't be in office when it causes damage.

The exit strategy is global annihilation. He just doesn’t believe they would stand up to the great and powerful man behind the art of the deal...,

What a complete dick! Look at the supplicants behind this man! Ben Carson - the worst administrator of HUD since it's inception. POTUS has no exit strategy cuz he can't figure out what that is.

But you should resign anyhow.

And the prenups determined that was a lie

NickRibs mattbudofsky this is good

stop making fun of Obama 😪😑you just like Zuma that want to private school

WashPo lie tracker will need some updating

Should the President of the “most powerful country” be using such attack words. I’d be very afraid if I were American. Luckily I’m not!!

Awww. Look at the moron attempting to look dignified.

His irresponsibility will get innocent people killed. The man is out of control

Blah blah blah....we have heard this before

Somebody tell him the Saudis beat him to it, and Iran is no more. Take his war away.

Translation- Iran don’t make fun of apple pie!

He’ll change his mind tomorrow.

Unless you write a beautiful letter.

A twitter tiger but in the real world he is coward and indecisive

realDonaldTrump LOSER TRUMP, THEY ALREADY ATTACKED AMERICAN GARBAGE, BYE BYE DRONE . IF THE US CAN HAVE NUKES , THEN SO CAN IRAN, NK. THE US DOESNT MAKE THE RULES

He's in way over his head and believes bullying is the answer to everything. WRONG!

PERFECT!

Yaaaaa, the fact that he’s used this type of statement before and it proved to be a bluff is a very dangerous situation!!!!

Yeh and Mexico is paying for a wall.

If I read POTUS cryptic message correctly... Theater Cmd. has the go ahead.... if.

If Trump thinks 'repeating lies' will turn into 'truth' he is highly mistaken.

The only 'Obliteration' needed is this corrupt administration.

Yeah yeah, fire and fury, ok. You couldn’t even oust Maduro and Venezuelans ACTUALLY WANTED YOU TO.

That’s what he says today or tomorrow it will be love letters🤪🤪🤪

Yada yada yada

Just before to say that the iran chairman is a great budy ... already seen that happend?

GreAt AnD OvErwHelmInG fOrcE

I am told d trump is a highly intelligent, caring person, so he well knows we're looking at potential holy war with Iran the likes of which will never have been experienced since the crusades, thousands if not millons of Americans will die horrible deaths in following him to war

realDonaldTrump you truly are unbelievable. What level has the presidency come to. It’s now quite amusing

Than stop sending our “american” anything over there. Namely soldiers. NoMoreWars EnoughIsEnough CongressDoYourJob

Aka more sanctions lmao. This is where bullying goes wrong. I guess the US doesn’t realize how many targets are on their back. It is prophesied, WW3 America will not win and will be the beginning of the end of a once powerful country that will be left desolate, thus saith GOD!!!

Where have we heard this before?

Just stop, POTUS we all know that anytime you’re up against a wall you provoke another leader (I use that term loosely with you) in order to divide and distract. I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone so transparent and so immature be in such reckless charge of so much.

CNNPolitics Says cadet bonespurs! To Trump supporters; it would be mostly your children dying in another middle east conflict; mi/billionaire children are too “precious” to go to war, and have the means to avoid it. Reinstate the draft!

Bro Bro speech writer is taking cues from Squashy Fat Man over in North Korea. Lawd.

Trump is a Fool.

Mr. Monster POTUS is just itching to go to war with someone. He's a narcissistic sociopath, totally self absorbed. He lies. He cheats on his wife, paid no taxes. This man has no business being a President of anything and needs to go. Quickly.

I hope they hit the White House first

Didn’t he make the same threat against NK? Next week he’ll be posing for photo ops with the Ayatollah.

Amazing... threaten “obliteration” to another country that has the means to obliterate us. There’s that great thinkin’ we have come to expect from this guy.

Maybe he should stop making threats and hitting the Iranians with sanctions in order to bring them to the negotiating table.

Unless it is American Democracy, that he will welcome with open arms.

He told that to North Korea too. Became such great friends. Watch out Iran. Trump Tower coming.

What about the drone?

Studio Gangster.

Send the Space Force!

realDonaldTrump Look at you! Those are big words there, pal. Good job, champ! *whispers “encourage him” to others in the room* You did a great job with that empty threat, buddy! Let’s go get some ice cream, sport!

And in return Iran laughs in his face, because if experience has taught the world anything, it has taught them that realdonaldtrump does not stand by his word. He is a corrupt malicious liar who's words have nothing to do with reality. FakePresident

Tell us something we don’t know!

Jump on this cnn abc nbc cbs pbs. potus trump is blowing this completely out of proportion.

Macho.

Here’s his fire and fury talk lik with NK, and now he’s their lap dog. Iran’s leader doesn’t want to talk to him. He’s too stupid to get this.

Does that mean an Iranian ban on hot dogs ,apple pie and Chevrolet’s will start a retaliatory strike

THIS AFTER OUR DRONE WAS SHOT DOWN IN IRAN , WHO IS WAS ON A SPY MISSION , BUT IRAN IS THE AGGRESSOR?

realDonaldTrump You sure Iran is your type ?

Until he has 10 minutes left and says no I change my mind.

ohhh I hope to get my pay, Islam ran in a circle and 1 woman said I won't be used for the dead, Legal Dept Livid Dead I call it now and means can just sit in 1 place outside usually, so another is arrested in my presence. Even the Embassies know of most recent plot.

We must pray for peace!

Nobel peace prize?

Mentally_retarded

Trump can't do shit about Iran as Iran backed and supports by Russia and China it seems America fallen bad for the first ever

The delusion of his omnipotence can be anatomically measured

Fire and fury 2.0

yeet this shit boi

Is that Love.

Mr. President, you should rest on the nearest island in the United States to take the appropriate action🍷🍷🏝🚬

Why does this man want a War so bad as a distraction from his own criminal we need help Dems cannot help this Country we thought when we voted it was hope God is our only hope now HouseDemocrats SpeakerPelosi SenSchumer RepCummings RepJeffries JoeBiden KamalaHarris pray

That's because he wants war.! TrumpIsATraitor WorstPresidentEver BillionDollarLoser TrumpConcentrationCamps

He thinks 'obliteration' means getting rid of books.

Does he know what obliteration means?

The same rhetoric as against North Korea

Good. Bout time we took a stance!!! Get the illegals out of OUR country as well! They seem to have more rights than true AMERICANS. QUITE SAD

His bleeping mouth is going to get us all killed! Lord, I cannot wait to vote him OUT and Make This Country Great Once Again 🇺🇸

Iran has been screwing with us since Jimmy Carter. It’s amazing that we haven’t pissed on them yet. They need a good ass whooping to shut them up and show the rest of the world not to screw with us. I would bomb the shit out of their military bases.

Congress needs to act!

I do not watch CNN anymore! The Zionist, Warmongering, and Fake News Network; Fake News Network! ZNN was supporting Turkey coup...we do not forget your crimes.

Democrats are such pusses

he is anways trying to instigate a war since long, and he needs a war for his politics

Do you want world war with them? Are you trying to play games with them? Cause they are ready and I will kill myself before the war comes on our ground

If it were a real President than other country's would listen , with Trump he must have a way of making money for himself out of this situation .Vote him out of office and stop the country's embarrassment .

And the IDIOT has spoken .

I think Trump should say how he Really feels on this subject...

Our key board warrior will not let his bone spurs slow down his tweet threats from sending troops into harms way. A war might look good on his reelection banner.

Or course not including the attack that already happened but for sure any new attack would be met with power and bravado.

What's in for attacking the US constitution?

OK Good to know.

Quick, change the launch codes.

Trump is a discrace to humanity & definitely to the United States. He is person full of hate. He apparently has no thought process. no morals . He is a very weak individual & should never have been president.

You want sanctions Don? Try to stop consuming their oil by the thousands of gallons daily in your planes cars etc.

And everyone knows bombs only fly in one direction...

Dude need to pull it back. Nobody won’t to war ova tRump’s foolishness! This mess is because republicans dereliction of duty and another tRump failure.

His base likes this kind of talk. It doesn’t matter that he’s not going to follow up on it. So why give this clown free publicity? Report on what he actually does, not what he says. He does plenty of actual stupid shit worthy of scorn.

Nothing to worry about here folks. Trump will get a love letter like he did from Kim and the two leaders will make nice nice and the whole world will be at peace again.

Trump is only good at talking nothing more

'an attack on anything American would be met with... 'obliteration'' 'Obliteration'? Doesn't this seem odd after declaring reluctance to hit the launch site for fear of being not 'proportionate'? 'Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive'

OMG!

Fear monger/war monger!

This guys sounds like he’s getting his ideas from video games villains :))

Oh please, the world has caught on, DerangedDonald is a complete idiot incapable of follow through on anything. He is the BillionDollarLoser biggest failure in history.

KAGA2020

IranAttack 'Fire and fury' of Trump should backtrack his terrible move of getting out of Nuclear deal. Creating a crisis in the first place and then aggravating it with threats is dangerous

Obliterate by sanctions?

Obliteration......Sounds Nuclear.....

Very diplomatic, really ? This over Hillery? Poor choice!

You should not fight with iran you should fight with Russia because you are both equal 🇵🇰

💪🏼

Yeah! Mr. Rocketman!

i mean, look what we did to iraq.

Can't wait to see Iraq War Part 2...

He forgot to end it with the usual “the likes of which has never been seen before”

Smh

Trump is in need of a psychiatric evaluation.

Tough talk from a rapist.

I hear that Iran is not his type.

The USA has to understand that Iran is not like Afghanistan, Syria or Irak and the consequences of an eventual war would be catastrophic for Washington and its allies due to Iranian ties with different groups throughout the world.

Trump’s got Twitter cajones

Don't worry Donald, you still get your war!

Kim is laughing all the way! Am sure Kim is advising the Ayatollahs to write a beautiful letter to Trump!

That’s what Freedom is all about

He’s such a tough guy

And our mom can beat up your mom! childish

Lord, spare us from this man. THIS man, not any Ayatollah, dead or alive. THIS man!

We’re at the “Fire and fury” part of the season.

Kind of like CNN and the Democrat party.....

Strange way to make Iran great again

Like his approach to a well done hamburger

Lol.!!!!! Amazing What are you do sir ? Eat sugar

The Cowardly Crook looks like a bigger fool every day. Didn’t think that was possible.

But he pulled back from that last week over 'anything American'

He won’t do shit.

DumbAssPOTUS

What would be Obama response?

Because they called him “retarted” this morning. This in itself should scare the shit out of everyone.

Just like you said about North Korea

On Twitter and that's all what he can do

Didn't he threaten north Korea in a similar way and now he believes he is their bestest friend...I'm just saying if hes looking for friends threatening them is not the way.

Putin won't let you do that.

Trump likes to talk tough but when the rubber meets the road he backs off and tells the Democrats to do it. He is nothing but a coward.

Американскими пуканами завалит.

Donald wasted a 110 million dollar drone on Iran? As much as the millions he's wasted on his trips to Mar a Lago. Maybe the Defense Dept. can use a different and cheaper drone they can shoot at. You don't have to look far.

Not if Putin tells U to shut it...again..

Blah blah blah...

Time for Donnie’s meds!

Chuck Schumer: ‘The American People Deserve A President Who Can More Credibly Justify War With Iran’WASHINGTON—In a pointed critique of President Trump’s foreign policy leadership, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer stated to members of the press Thursday that “the American people deserve a president who can more credibly justify war with Iran.” “What the American people need is a president who can make a much more convincing case for going to war with Iran,” said Schumer (D-NY), adding that the Trump administration’s corruption and dishonesty have “proven time and time again” that it lacks the conviction necessary to act as an effective cheerleader for the conflict. “Donald Trump is completely unfit to assume the mantle of telling the American people what they need to hear in order to convince them a war with Iran is a good idea. One of the key duties of the president is to gain the trust of the people so that they feel comfortable going along with whatever he says. President Trump’s failure to serve as a credible advocate for this war is yet another instance in which he has disappointed not only his colleagues in Washington, but also the entire nation.” Schumer later concluded his statement with a vow that he and his fellow Democrats will continue working toward a more palatable case in favor of bombing Iran. Sad chuck is a “hater and loser” like Donald says. Our president (Mr Trump) fights hard to protect us from those who would kill all us good Christian Americans, like the irainians. This so absurd of a headline that I momentarily believed it. Sign of times we are living in. Yeah, bring back Dubya and Colin Powell
