Trump, inviting / provoking / soliciting a catastrophic response from Iran: "There's not a thing they could do about it" [View all]

It's HUMAN NATURE. When an aggressor tells you "there's nothing you can do about it," the brain automatically scans through all of the possible things you could "do about it."

This has gone WAY PAST Republicans' concerns about keeping their seats in the midterms. Trump is putting the safety and lives of the American people at risk with this kind of rhetoric, threatening Iran with horrendous outcomes while taunting them and "daring them to do something about it."

Trump: "If there is no deal, we are going to hit each and every one of their electric generating plants very hard and probably simultaneously ... there's not a thing they could do about it"
