No you don’t like it one bit. It has taken days for someone to finally hammer it home with you that you cannot bomb cultural sites and I suspect it was the Pentagon.

He claims that he likes to obey the law, huh. Well, that’s a lie.

Nah. Mecca and Medina are in Saudi Arabia and he would not DARE upset his Sugar Daddies there.

(and if he did, there are 2 Billion Muslims that would be out for our blood for doing it.)

Remember the international indignation when the Taliban blew up the ancient Buddhas in Afghanistan? They claimed a religious rationale. Trump wants to do the same thing, with no particular rationale. Another feather in the cap for America: a President who emulates the Taliban at their ignorant worst.

And I like killing children at the border.
And I like people dying when I take away their medical care.
But what is a coward to do to prove he is a man?

Remember when the Nazis were retreating from Italy and blew up most of Florence except the Ponte Vecchio, the Uffizi, the Accademia, Bruneleschi’s Duomo on the Cathedral?

Trump - worse than Nazis.

Agent Winter suddenly kills everyone except the President and introduces himself as Nikolai Tarkovsky, another member of the KA. Winter incapacitates the President and begins aiming nuclear missiles at Mecca and Tehran to incite a billion Muslims against the United States

"…Trump responded that “they’re allowed to kill our people, they’re allowed to maim our people, they’re allowed to blow up everything that we have”

They are ?

ETA I think he just sees someone “getting away with something” & in his black hole heart, is jealous that he “can’t”

“I will say this — if Iran does anything that they shouldn’t be doing, they’re going to be suffering the consequences and very strongly,” Trump said.

“And by ‘anything that they shouldn’t be doing’ I mean anything that makes me look bad.”

Two words:

Since when?

So Trumplethinskin thinks he likes to obey the law. This may be the most risible statement made in his term of office. Listing the times he actually obeyed the spirit of the law would be much quicker, and the list of the times he obeyed the letter of the law wouldn’t be much longer.
