President Donald Trump told ABC News if Iran doesn't make a peace deal in the next 48 hours, "we're blowing up the whole country."

Donald Trump said Sunday that if no peace deal is reached with Iran in the next 48 hours, “we’re blowing up the entire country.”

The president made the threat Sunday to ABC News’ senior political correspondent Rachel Scott in response to a question regarding whether his previously stated timeline of two to three weeks for a deal was still accurate.

Concerns have been raised about targeting civilian infrastructure in Iran and the consequences that could bring.

    And following up on that threat was obviously going to be horrible for the people in Gaza.

    But please continue patting yourself on your back…

      Fuck off. Biden did nothing to stop the genocide. Kamala didn’t say she would do anything to stop the genocide. Trump did barely anything to stop the genocide. There was no electoral option to stop the genocide. ‘Oh teehee we said we wouldn’t vote for you because your evil policy but we just don’t want that meanie trump’ is just setting yourself up to have any future demands safely ignored.

      The truth is the majority of the gaza genocide direct killings happened under the watch of the Biden/Harris admin and has mostly slowed since trump took office, mostly because there’s nothing left to bomb except the refugee camps.

      Just because you personally don’t care when a democrat does it that doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.

        Trump was not ever going to try to stop it, he supports genocide and war crimes. Remember him telling Israel to “finish the job in Gaza”?

        Republican Donald Trump has called US President Joe Biden “a very bad Palestinian” who doesn’t want to help Israel “finish the job” against Hamas in its war on Gaza.

        “He doesn’t want to do it. He’s become like a Palestinian – but they don’t like him because he’s a very bad Palestinian, he’s a weak one,” former president Trump said in the first presidential debate with Biden on Thursday in Atlanta, Georgia.

          Ok now show me the quote where Kamala said she would stop giving Israel bombs to drop on children.

          Material reality does not change if you’re gleeful about the genocide or ‘expressing serious concerns’ about the genocide.

          Some of us care about reality a hell of a lot more than optics.

              Are you actually gloating about the fact that the electoral pressure to stop the genocide failed? You are disgusting. I’d kill myself if I was half as much of a freak as you are.
