Trump says 'a whole civilization will die tonight' if Iran does not make a deal

[demmiblue]

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 don’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.

Orange war criminal's inside traders are all actively buying stocks "low" ...

TACO TUESDAY TIME...

[yellow dahlia]

133. There are people who can, but they are not doing so.

Why isn't Congress back in session?

Why isn't someone who isn't as insane as him, trying to talk to him? Instead he has religious nutjobs egging him on.

[Blues Heron]

2. Sicko. Pukes, do your job and remove this foul pestilence from the people's house!

[orangecrush]

24. Not gonna happen.

[YoshidaYui]

3. Donald Trump has been itching to use

A nuclear bomb asking at one point why they haven’t been used since World War Two so maybe he wants to use it and is eager to see the results of that destruction.

[MadameButterfly]

7. Yeah, that would get the Straights of Hormuz open

in about 10,000 years.

But I doubt Trump has thought that through. He has to play with his toys and have his temper tantrum first.

[mwmisses4289]

18. Not only is he jonesing to use a nuke,

but more and more I've come to believe that in his head he is still living in the america of his childhood, where the u.s. was the only country that had a nuke; and he doesn't want anyone else to have one.

[Javaman]

21. I've been saying this for a while

as he slips further into this mania and can't find a way out of the epstein files, he will try to do something so fucking horrible, something so completely insane to distract the entire world.

since he was elected and started his halfwitted revenge tour, I have thought, "he's going to burn it all down"

and there is only one way to truly do that.

a nuke.

[orangecrush]

26. Good assessment

[KPN]

76. Psychologists have been saying similarly as well. I think

you are 200 percent right. He needs offed before we all end up offed.

[Diraven]

80. His a malignant narcissist

He gets off on causing misery and watching the results of his cruelty.

[bdamomma]

81. I hate

this fucking lunatic!!!!! get him out now!!!!!!

[Botany]

4. Trump, God Bless the Great People of Iran.

And now watch me kill them by the millions as their homes, schools, towns, farms, and cities
are turned to blood, death, fire, and explosions because I can’t talk about the Epstein files.

He really is blood thirsty psychopath.

[Irish_Dem]

49. Yes he is very dangerous.

[bdamomma]

82. Where is his

fucking family to talk him down. Stephen Miller agrees with his madness?????

[Wednesdays]

95. Stephen Miller agrees with this madness, nothing

Stephen Miller AUTHORED this madness!

[Seinan Sensei]

94. THIS!!!

1) “I’m dying, and I want everyone else to die with me, if I can’t continue living”
2) Anything to distract from the Epstein Files

[sop]

5. That's pretty specific, promising a whole civilization will die tonight. What will Trump say tomorrow?

[johnnyfins]

39. He will say that he spared them because a

"Deal" was made. Oh great and merciful god that he is.

If it goes the other way...mushroom clouds.

[Scrivener7]

53. Hopefully not, "I told you so."

[Irish_Dem]

6. He would destroy everyone and everything on the planet.

And not blink or think twice about it.

[Attilatheblond]

45. Gotta feel sorry for those Artemis II astronauts

They might not have a planet to come back to, just a smoldering morgue.

[Irish_Dem]

48. Reality has become a horror movie right in front of our eyes.

[hamsterjill]

121. Honestly, I thought about that last night

Wasn't there a movie? Good grief...it's almost unbelievable that we are this far gone.

[Attilatheblond]

122. Two or three movies, I think

Used to watch/read SciFi to escape from reality a bit. Doesn't work for me anymore.

[hamsterjill]

125. Yeah, nothing seems to work for me any more.

I find that I start a movie or show, and I can't seem to concentrate on it long enough to get to the end.

We are all incredibly stressed and upset because of one asshole, and all of the other assholes who either put him in office or have kept his orange ass in office.

I will never forgive them.

[Attilatheblond]

126. Can't hike anymore but being outside with birds, bugs, trees used to help a lot

That's not working either now. Just makes me sadder to know how much beauty and life is as risk.

[hamsterjill]

128. I understand.

I run a cat sanctuary for older, rescued cats. I don't take in new ones any more, but the many that I have are here to live out their lives. I bought this property a few years back for that purpose and built a sanctuary for them with inside space that is heated and cooled, and outside space amongst big oak trees. Unlike so many people, I am actually living out my life's dream, and I am very grateful for that. I am forced to stay busy taking care of them, and that in turn, keeps me grounded and active.

But all of the stress and angst and ugliness from Trump has made my dream and my retirement (and everyone else's that I know) much less than it could be. I am so angry for the loss of that security and happiness for myself and everyone else.

Plus, as an animal advocate, the destruction that this asshole is causing isn't JUST limited to human beings, and that saddens and disgusts me.

Someone needs to stop him.

[OhioBack2Blue]

132. Very cool about your cat santuary! Also....

....anytime Republicons are in office, they cause massive upheaval and instability, such that the animals of America, and often across the world, suffer much greater than when Dems are in office.

[hamsterjill]

141. Absolutely.

Wildlife suffers horribly, including the wild horses who are killed and/or rounded up for profit. Republicans are assholes.

[gab13by13]

8. Genocide coming, "glory to god."

[Farmer-Rick]

9. Pedo Trump

Is a totally crazy unhinged demented old man. He's out of control and has lost any kind of rational thought. And MAGA and Bibi are backing this?

[bdamomma]

85. Is Putin

backing this???

[Farmer-Rick]

120. I don't know.

Is there anything pedo Trump does that's not approved by Putin?

Putin seems to be helping the Chinese and Cuba. But he abandoned Venezuela and let pedo Trump take 80 million barrels of Venezuela's oil, sell it, and pocket the money.

I think Putin and Iran are allies but just economic with no military defense agreement.

[C_U_L8R]

10. Trump drools for a holocaust

Abhorrent.

[Attilatheblond]

47. And the curesed survivors will still be asking

When will you release the Epstein files?

[Cheezoholic]

11. This is a horrid Catch 22. If he does it, thousands die. If Iran capitulates, it bolsters his insanity

and this fascist regime we are becoming. It's fucking scary.

[Wiz Imp]

62. Iran will not capitulate.

[Trueblue Texan]

66. Iran won't give in. But they will have some surprises for the US.

TSF has created generations of terrorists with his lunatic leadership.

[hamsterjill]

123. I am honestly surprised that we haven't witnessed something yet from Iran.

I expected suicide bombers in the middle of New York by now or something equally as horrific. The fact that we haven't seen anything does not give me any comfort. I think it just means that Iran is preparing for bigger and better actions.

As a Christian, may God help us. And I don't mean the God that Donald Trump thinks wants this war to begin the end times.

[yardwork]

72. Most likely Trump will claim that Iran gave in.

It will be a lie, one that allows Trump to continue his delusional thinking. His followers will cheer and the billionaire-owned media will praise Trump's negotiations.

At least I hope that's what will happen. It's not a good outcome but better than most alternatives.

[spinbaby]

12. Did he write this?

Punctuation and spelling are correct. Only a few random capitalizations and those make some kind of sense.

[yourout]

17. Probably written by Nazi in chief Steven Miller.

[bdamomma]

87. Of course

he's another sick damaged POS. Stephen Miller

[liberalgunwilltravel]

13. Exhibit 1,980,819

In his coming war crime trial at The Hague.

[Bluetus]

15. What deal? Trump never identified even a single one of the "15 points"

My guess is that 13 of the 15 points involve lots of money going into Trump's pockets. What do you want to bet that one of his demands is that the oil be placed under the control of that phony "peace council" or whatever he calls it.

[BeyondGeography]

16. Yeah, that would be ours

The one you hate more than any other.

[31st Street Bridge]

19. The horror of this is truly beyond belief

This cabal of bloodthirsty murderers must be overthrown.

[MadameButterfly]

20. Isn't the statement itself a war crime?

Why do we have to wait until he does it to stop him? He needs to be charged by the Hague. To never travel freely outside the US again. Crazy that there appears to be nothing we can do here.

I wonder if the military forced to carry out his orders will be in therapy for the rest of their lives for being the vehicle of this useless slaughter and all the repercussions that follow.

[chouchou]

23. That's an excellent post.

[Qutzupalotl]

83. If we survive this term, we need to join the ICC.

We will have plenty of war criminals to offer up, and I won't shed a tear for them.

[broiles]

22. Sounds like a mobster treat.

[bdamomma]

96. or just

the bullying he offers up when he is backed in corner. I'm hoping for an health emergency incident for that POS.

[Attilatheblond]

109. Or a member of his security detail with a brain and a conscience.

[Javaman]

25. so rather than stop him before he commits war crimes and maybe drops a nuke...

the repukes sit on their hands, chewing their lip, thinking, "what do we do?"

they will condemn him (maybe) after the fact, but before, fuck no! he's their god emperor!

we are all in an insane train heading for a gorge with the bridge out.

[multigraincracker]

27. I'm afraid a civilization will end, only

not the one he thinks.

[Wounded Bear]

51. I'm reminded of the Oracle of Delphi...

Who when asked by a king from Ionia is he should go to war. The Oracle said, "If you go to war, a great kingdom will fall."

So the king took his country to war, and sure enough his kingdom was destroyed.

Lot of lessons in the ancient lore.

[dedl67]

140. Right. Persian civilization has lasted 3 millenia, against much greater threats than this loudmouth piece of shit..

[Lovie777]

28. shithole gonna kill and destroy mother earth?......................

because he can't have the oil.

[electron_blue]

29. so has anyone called their congresspeople today?

What should congress do if he threatens nuclear war if they try to stop him? I think this is something he's been threatening for a long time.

Is anyone marching?
anything else?

[alfredo]

33. Threatening genocide

[hadEnuf]

84. Somebody needs to march into the Oval Office.

[bdamomma]

88. I would

call my Senators and Reps, to leave my comments. We have a lunatic criminal in the WH.

[Seinan Sensei]

92. I call every day

Easiest thing ever.
“SIRI call Sen. ___”

Keep it simple and straightforward.
Keep it to a single-topic per call.

Call your Sen and Rep every day!

[Attilatheblond]

111. Living in AZ 6, we don't know if our congressman is still alive or if he skipped town. Where's Juan?

Our Senators, on the other hand, have been leading the charge to remind the US Military that they do not follow illegal orders.

[ColoringFool]

30. Lone Gunmen Are Never Around When You Need Them.

[Tanuki]

31. He never learned about Croesus and the Oracle of Delphi

https://theconversation.com/an-ancient-oracle-warned-invading-persia-would-backfire-from-croesus-to-trump-rulers-have-failed-to-listen-279750

"Invasions of ancient Persia were always daunting tasks. They often led to disaster.
....
Reputedly the richest man in the world, Croesus consulted the famed Oracle of Apollo at Delphi (in Greece). The oracle, according to ancient writer Herodotus, told Croesus:

that if he should send an army against the Persians he would destroy a great empire.

Croesus’ subsequent invasion and defeat by the Persian king, Cyrus, saw the destruction of his own empire. The oracle accurately foretold the outcome but not as Croesus had hoped.".... (more)

[Joinfortmill]

32. We need the Vice President to invoke the 25th Amendment

This CAN be done if Vance and Congress would just do it.

Otherwise some pissed off person is gonna finish the job dementia started.

[FakeNoose]

34. Vance is going to Hungary, he's not going to be any help to us

Meanwhile the asshole in the White House wants to start World War III.

[Joinfortmill]

38. I guess that leaves option 2.

[bcbink]

35. Vice President

Is VP still conveniently out of the country? Hungary?

[Joinfortmill]

40. That leaves Option 2. This country has seen this before.

[Solly Mack]

36. That man will be our doom if he isn't stopped.

[Ford_Prefect]

37. And where is the GOP leadership? Hiding behind bluster, innuendo, and preveracation!

While everyone else demands they act to end Trump's catastrophe they are paralyzed by AIPAC, their own patrons, and a missing spine.

They burned down the Constitution and now don't have anything left to guide them.

[lostincalifornia]

41. Those who ridiculed Hillary in 2016, and either voted for trump, or DIDN'T vote, and did the same thing in 2024 against

Biden and VP Harris, will be culpable bear responsibility that occur because of this disaster, perhaps even more so, because after January 6, 2020, there should have been NO AMBIGUITY just how unhinged trump was.

[Beacool]

44. Hear, hear!!!

[tulipsandroses]

42. For all those that claim women are " too emotional" to be president. What say you now?

To be clear, this is more than just being too emotional.
He is angry that things have not gone his way. He acts like a toddler that can't get his way. Kicks, yells, and throws a tantrum.
His tantrums can get people killed.

[Beacool]

43. The Persian civilization is thousands of years old.

Trump is a deranged old man. He needs to be stopped before he and the U.S. commit war crimes.

[Wiz Imp]

59. He's already committed war crimes.

Though he's threatening exponentially worse war crimes now.

[AllaN01Bear]

46. ya know , we will feel the radiation too.

[Hope22]

115. Yes!

And I wonder if they have dug the White Phosphorus out……so much devastation!

[Auggie]

50. Wonder if t**** will order the MOAB ...

The GBU-43/B Massive Ordnance Air Blast, MOAB, AKA "The Mother of All Bombs."

It's not a nuke. But it has a blast radius of a mile.

[CaptainTruth]

52. Why do I feel like he's talking about America?

"A whole civilization will die tonight, never to ​be brought back ​again."

Seems like what he's trying to do to our country.

[lonely bird]

54. Absolutely

He didn’t tell his MAGAts that the civilization to be destroyed is this one.

58. Fucking lunatics, the whole lot of p25. Every last one of them!

[AverageOldGuy]

60. Nothing will stop him

I doubt he will use nuclear weapons.

Although I served 28 years in the Army and worked with a lot of very senior generals and admirals and have a lot of faith in their integrity, I don’t see a single senior officer standing up and shouting “Stop! Enough!” The only way the military leadership will revolt is if Trump tells them to use nukes.

Anything else they will salute and destroy Iran.

Trump thinks a few anti-regime Iranians will step up, hold a Constitutional Convention, and bluebirds of happiness will appear all over Iran. After all, it worked out so well in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Take Iran’s oil? Same way The Dick Cheney and Halliburton took over Iraq’s oil?

Open the Strait? The goddam Strait was wide open before you bombed Iran for no reason.

IN FACT this war was started by Netanyahu and Sheik Bone Saw in Saudi Arabia who told Trump to destroy Iran while Sheik Bone Saw dumped another $4 billion into Jared’s “investment fund.” Trump’s orders are coming from Israel and Saudi Arabia.

They were all decked in MAGA gear doing his stupid dance a few weeks ago. I guess now they can go back to Iran and be kings of the ashes.

I also notice the usual suspects war supporters aren’t to be found on this thread. I’d like to see those trolls justifying this insanity.

Everything Trump touches…

[Trueblue Texan]

64. Removal from office will stop him.

He has publicly announced he intends to commit genocide. No one will be able to protect him from the consequences of that. Only our leaders with sense will be able to protect the rest of the world from those consequences.

[niyad]

70. Today? Leaders with sense? Nothing with an "r" after its name, and he

absolutely will not listen to Dems.

110. I am afraid that is what he is talking about.

[Martin Eden]

97. Trump wants to be the greatest at everything -- including THE WORLD'S GREATEST TERRORIST

Weak entities commit acts of terror furtively, hiding and sneaking until ready to strike.

Mighty nation states can rain mass death & destruction down from the sky, or with mechanized armies boots on the ground.

Both are terrorism, but which causes more death, destruction, pain, and unfathomable grief?

[LoisB]

99. Is there anyone in the military or Congress or his effing administration brave

enough to say no? Where are his doctors? He is obviously insane.

[Bayard]

100. I agree with everyone else here--he's talking nukes

You would think all of the Middle East leaders would be sitting on his desk. He is probably delusional enough to think the fallout would stop at Iran's borders. The winds will eventually share death around the world.

He will be the most hated man in history. There's no medals for that.

[in2herbs]

113. I don't know how it works but does F45 have the codes or does he order the person with the codes to lauch

a nuke?

I read an article the other day explaining that he was sedated when he ranted about getting the codes and his end of the world rant came after he woke from the sedation and the codes were out of his reach.

If he doesn't have the codes and it's in the control of the guy with the football that tells me the mililtary is in control. Which then begs the question how will the military exercise its control?

[LudwigPastorius]

138. "He will be the most hated man in history."

Not just him. All of us, too. (...and our children and grandchildren)

I doesn't matter if you & I didn't vote for him. If Trump succeeds in committing nuclear genocide, America and its people will be worldwide pariahs for generations.

[Grins]

101. Stop calling him deranged or delusional!!!! The word is PSYCHOPATH!

“A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will.” - Trump on Iran, sporting and erection that could cut glass, Truth Social. 07 April 2026.

Trump's entire raison d'etre is the suffering of others. It's what drives him. Arouses him. He's a psychopath. A narcissistic psychopath. A malignant-narcissist sadist. A sexual sadist who enjoys and is aroused by early teen girls being afraid of him.

Kill off an entire civilization? Meh! As he told Fox & Friends co-host Ainsley Earhardt who asked about kids shooting kids in schools, he replied with - "I couldn’t care less."*

And by this time, everyone knows it!! Or should. Anyone who continues to support him is, effectively, also a psychopath. And a traitor.

Stop calling him "deranged." He is way past that.

103. Trump threats cause dilemma for US officers: disobey orders or commit war crimes

Legal experts say attacking Iran’s infrastructure would constitute a war crime – but would military officers be held responsible?

There is little debate among legal experts that such an attack on the life-supporting infrastructure for 93 million Iranians would constitute a war crime.

[intrepidity]

104. This is all just theatrics for him. Like an episode cliffhanger.

He just wants EVERYONE talking about it, and later tonight we'll hear how "they" made some sort of deal, and even though nothing will change (Strait still closed) he'll simply say he won. And if anyone questions it, he'll disparage that reporter and just tell more lies.

It's what he has been doing forever!

Or maybe he'll say he got a message directly from God?

It seems that Dump will have to do something tonight because it would be too humiliating for him not to. I pray that it is not nukes, but bombing plants that provide civilians with water and electricity, like he has alluded to, is still very bad. Mass starvation will not change the regime; they don't care about the condition of their people as long as they retain power. And, having war crimes and horror imposed on them helps gain them sympathy in the world community.

The best response would be if the media stopped covering all of his threats. They can't, but his number one driver is all the attention it focuses on him.

Iran responded to President Donald Trump’s looming threat Tuesday with a threat of their own: to lift all “self-restraint” by launching a large-scale attack on energy infrastructure across the Persian Gulf and deprive the United States “of the region’s oil and gas for years.”

“Our self-restraint has come to an end,” reads a statement from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), Iran’s military apparatus, as reported by the Kurdish news outlet Kurdistan 24.

“America’s partners in the region must know that until today, we have restrained ourselves for the sake of good neighborliness… however, we are now lifting the immunity provided by our previous tolerance. Our focus will be solely on the targets and on seeking revenge.”

Trump has repeatedly demanded that Iran lift restrictions for U.S.-aligned vessels to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, a critical shipping channel through which a fifth of the world’s oil trade flows. Amid ongoing U.S.-Israeli attacks, Iran has refused, and in mid-March, Trump gave Iran 48 hours to re-open the Strait of Hormuz or face the destruction of its power plants.

130. I thought the Straight was open to all shipping except for US and Israeli.

131. Given that his behavior has exceeded every rational limit in the past,

I see no reason why we shouldn't all be panicking.

I've called every congresscritter who represents me and a few that don't, and I hope you all are doing the same.

But our representatives have shown a remarkable ability to ignore our wishes in the past; so I believe the best remaining option is a General Strike & boycott.

The only thing TPTB care about is what's on their balance sheets.

139. Sadly, this moron is going to, via his actions and acts, going to cost us Americans a lot.

142. Trump really is

pootin's puppet. He's threatening nuclear war just as pootin did. Trump has to be getting his orders directly from the kremlin.
