15. Well, if all go's well, we'll be a couple hours into the first humans to the moon mission on live on NASA TV

Whether you think its a waste of money or not (1/4 of what he just handed to Venezuela), that's what I'll be watching. Big deal to me as I was there for Apollo 11!

[bucolic_frolic]

8. And Iran will just forget all the damage, right?

[pfitz59]

9. How quickly will he go off script?

The man hasn't a clear thought in his head.

[slingsam]

32. Tomorrow is the 13th anniversary of my being in a relationship with msbetrayus.

Hopefully Orange Julius Caesar doesn't ruin the day for either of us or you.

[pat_k]

18. He didn't like Monday's djia or s&p. Better say something to push it back up.

Why when this boy calls "wolf" for the one thousandth time does the investor class keep responding as if something real just happened?

[eggplant]

22. You can't profit from it without the rubes.

They're the ones getting fleeced.

[Jack Valentino]

19. Orange Sphincter says what ????

I might watch it if I remember and am bored...

If I do I will be holding an empty shotgun....

The shotgun will be empty because I cannot afford to buy a new television---
and because the television is a little too close to my viewing position...!

[LudwigPastorius]

20. Time to declare victory (again) and TACO.

Greater than zero chance that he'll pivot to Cuba too.

Given this was an Israeli/US "excursion" that seems a strange choice.

[RockRaven]

[Buddyzbuddy]

[generalbetrayus]

30. My prediction: He will babble on (pun intended) about the Iran war for about five minutes

and then make a 90 minute presentation about his beautiful new ballroom and the proposed high-rise Trump lie-brary to built in Florida.

, but only sort of.

[usonian]

34. Nuclear strike. People will dismiss it as a joke, but he's ready.

Missed your post because I block that foul name. Please misspell it.

Repost:

Trump's "OBLITERATION whisperers" might talk him into it.

What's rattling around his empty brain tonight?

Quick solution. No negative consequences. Rating points. Forget about Epstein.

Trump May See Nuking Iran as ‘Safer’ Option: Conservative Magazine Editor

https://www.newsweek.com/trump-may-see-nuking-iran-as-safer-option-conservative-magazine-editor-11764509

Andrew Day, senior editor at The American Conservative, a conservative publication, is raising alarms about what he sees as a dangerous calculus in the Trump administration's approach to the Iran war: that the president might view nuclear weapons as a more politically palatable option than a ground invasion.

In a series of posts on social media, Day argues that President Donald Trump could rationalize nuclear strikes on Iran as preferable to deploying American troops on the ground.

"Considering only 7% of Americans support a ground invasion, and since all the ground force operation options sound like suicide missions, Trump might even see nuclear weapons as the safer political option," Day posted on X.

I'm ready for the announcement.

Muricans delight in the destruction.


Hiroshima

I do expect tonight, so he can announce the fait-accompli on April 1.
