Trump says 'a whole civilization will die tonight' if Iran does not make a deal [View all]

Source: Reuters

WASHINGTON, April 7 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump once ‌again exhorted Iran to make a deal by his Tuesday deadline, saying a "whole civilization will die tonight" if ⁠an agreement is not reached to end the conflict.

"A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don't want that ‌to ⁠happen, but it probably will," Trump said in a post on Truth Social.

We ⁠will find out tonight, one of the most important moments ⁠in the long and complex history of ⁠the World."

Trump is deranged and delusional. He refuses to deal with factual reality and believes in his own grandiosity. He should not be anywhere near the levers of power. America and the world will long pay for the tragic mistake of returning him to power. He should be removed now.

Normally donâ€™t hang on Trump posts like this but this sounds like a guy who has looked at nuclear first strike plans and we need members of Congress to bodily go to the White House and talk this mf down.
