Gen. Dan Caine, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, repeatedly warned Trump that Iran would likely disrupt the Strait of Hormuz in response to a U.S. attack, according to a new report in the Wall Street Journal.

Trump, 79, told his administration that he thought Iran would capitulate to the U.S. before it closed the Strait, adding that even if the Strait was threatened, the U.S. military could handle it.

    This asshole seems incapable of humiliation.

    He should be ashamed to even show up in public given what he’s done and what a dumbass he is, but I see him in front of cameras nearly daily, mugging and gesturing and holding forth, often for very long periods of time.

        “He says what I’m thinking!” (and gets away with it - that’s the thing that really sends a tingle up their legs - they have wet dreams about being able to say and do the sorts of things that PEDOnald did all his life and had no consequences for it)

      His neurons have rotten and fallen out of his ears, he doesn’t have the brain capacity to be humiliated

        I think even at 20, he didn’t really have to ever face real, grinding humiliation. Except for maybe from his parents.

        I think he and his cuckservative cult members all just tell themselves that anything that might be humiliating to him is just someone else having what they call “TDS”.
