Donald Trump Addresses Country

Donald Trump sounds out of breath.

Iran's navy is dead. Never in the history of warfare has a country suffered such a devastating loss.

He starts with a lie and will just keep going.

We are working with Venezuela and getting along incredibly well. We are now totally independent of the Middle East.

He says he has been planning to decimate Iran since 2015 when he first decided to run for office.

This has been going on for 47 years and someone should have taken care of this before then.

We're winning and winning big.

He trashes Obama. They laughed at him. His deal would have been disasterous.

He's now praises himself. No one has ever seen anything like it. We "totally obliterated" their ability to build nuclear weapons with the first attack. They were right at the doorstep of having nuclear weapons.

Our objectives are dismantling Iran's ability to launch a weapons outside their borders. We've destroyed, annihilated, obliterated their navy, their air force and almost all the other branches.

All the families of those who have died have asked him to finish the job. He thanks the other countries in the Middle East and we will not let them get hurt.

Every plague will fall on us if we don't finish off Iran. Iran is a dead and crippled country. He touts his economic record at home, no inflation, greatest amount of investments in the U.S., we are #1 producer of oil on the planet. We produced more thant Saudi Arabia and Russia combined.

We don't need the oil coming through the Hormuz Straight. The other countries that take oil through the Straight have to protect it. He has a suggestion -- buy oil from the U.S. The Straight will open up naturally. They will be able to buy oil. U.S. citizens are getting bigger than ever from his big beautiful bill.

We are on track to fultfill all our military objectives. We have not hit their oil but we could and they would be gone. We are going to hit their electrical generators real hard in the next few weeks. We have all the cards and they have none.

He compares the time it took for every other war since WW1. This took a shorter time. The whole world is watching and can't believe the brilliance of the U.S. military.

No more nuclear blackmail. We wil be greater than ever.

Good night.

    stated 5 times how badly Iran has been beaten. He just keeps repeating the same cr@p.

    How has he not strained his back from patting himself on it.

    Why are networks letting someone on the airwaves to lie for untold minutes. You'd think there some kind of commidsion with rules against that.

    It was 19 minutes of self aggrandizement and nothing else. He said nothing about any actual plan of anything. I'm happy there was no BOTG announcement. But this was just stupid. Twaddle.

    But oil went up $5 a barrel from the time he started to when he finished. And stock futures went from flat to down -300 pts.

    I'm kind of speechless.

    That was like watching a slo mo train wreck.
    I couldn't listen.  I read close captions

    There was nothing for anyone. like when supply lines were disrupted during Covid this is a disaster in ways we can't even imagine yet.  

    The upside is if we live we will have a Dem congress next year.
