This is such a weirdly level response from him, which really shows how fucking insane things are right now.

It's like one step up from Joe Rogan disclaiming his own words because he's a self-proclaimed dumbass. It's a self-aware statement from an elderly man acknowledging the things he says may be wrong but he just doesn't care to spend his time trying to be accurate, but from a president and the center of a bluster-based regime it's shocking.

The fucking President of the United States, doesn’t know who his country is bombing.

He also doesn’t care.

There’s video which people stopped to see it’s a tomahawk cruise missile. Definitely wasn’t Iran. He just lies. No soul

that's why he's saying they have tomahawk missiles

And you believe that?

No, the reporter is pointing out that if what Trump said was true, then Iran has Tomahawk missiles. That's absurd, so clearly what Trump said is bullshit

You mean the NYT video that shows a completely different (nearby) building being bombed? Don't get me wrong, I don't trust Trump either, but spreading made up clickbait won't help.

This comment did not age well

What do you mean? Was I wrong about the NYT video? Or are you just assuming that because different evidence proved the point, calling out fake evidence "did not age well"?

Mr President, if you don't know, where does the buck stop? Is it with you?

This lying ass liar just lies to lie.

What a liar.

He seemed capable of following the conversation and being coherent. Even if he's an insane asshole.

I guess his dementia treatments are working.

Trump would lie about the time of day

If more people asked more telling questions the obese orange child rapist would die a lot quicker from the inevitable heart attack.

There are a lot of comments here saying that this is not the most insane thing ever said in history, when it really is:

The US has sold 0 Tomahawks to Iran, and it is exclusively available to closest US allies, which are all in the “pure demonic hatred towards” Iran club. It is categorically ignorant of all historical US doctrine, and the extreme insanity of US government is no one has told him how unacceptably stupid he is for even suggesting it.

Tomahawks further require special launching hardware, including a specific fitting rocket booster, software, and a US satelitte data link for any targeting.

I can't believe anybody allows this clown to get away with wearing any airs of legitimacy
