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 yet you still choose to ignore the fallacy in setting up a morality test in the first place. Astonishing

      You sidestep everything else (so, do you retract the assumption of a gotcha?) which is … moving the goalposts fallacy.

      But let’s talk about the new goalposts. I did not set up the “test” in the first place. In the first place was a cheap moralistic finger wagging point about the tired cliché regarding supposed single issue voters refusing to back Harris. My “test” was precisely challenging the cheapness of that moralistic finger wagging.

      So no, I didn’t do anything “in the first place”.

      Any more bad faith one liner comebacks?

        No I’m absolutely confident you setup a gotcha, but I deprived you the chance to use it by refusing to engage in it.

        No goalposts were moved, nice try though.
