This is not a speech. Last night in Nebraska, Trump said that a potential attack on Los Angeles or San Diego would be a “small price to pay”. This is a full blown psychological breakdown.

At the UN, Trump threatens to "Annihiliate the Islamic Republic (of Iran)" and "Drive them into hell", insisting we are not "low on munitions" and are "adding to our stockpiles" (at taxpayer expense, enriching his donors)

Ron and Cassie DeSantis: These two crooks stole $10 million from a settlement with a charity, wired it to Cassie’s fake “charity,” laundered it through two puppet organizations, and then used it for political ads in an election year. They should be in jail.

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

The tweet claims that President Obama might launch military strikes in Libya or Iran due to falling poll numbers and describes him as desperate.
