Social media is not the place to release this type of inflammatory language. This idiot is going to put us in a major conflict. Anything to distract from Epstein. Billionaire narcissists need to be as far away from the levers of power as possible.
Honestly this is just standard posturing, no threat. Not revealing exact positions either. Putin probably does this sort of shit daily (not on social media though).
Anything to distract from more pressing issues as you said.
And he clearly did not write this one himself.
Taunting North Korea's leader in 2017 by calling him "Rocket boy"*, that was a different matter: for a moment we all held our breath. Ultimately nothing happened, he even stumbled into probably his one and only diplomatic win, but still: that was inflammatory.
* (and any number of similar tweets since then; that was just the first one while in office)
Rocket boy low key sounds badass
Made me remember this song tho: https://youtu.be/FBnAZnfNB6U
I propose a new amendment. A person must be homeless for a presidential term before they can be allowed to serve in a presidential capacity.
Then the least of us can lead with empathy, at least that is the hope.
Then maybe we can get fucking health care, including mental health.
