Is Iran stupid or just Crazy? Iran has said that they could take out United States aircraft carrier with one missile. That the United States is not a threat but a target. And they could hit us in the head if we tried anything. Does Iran not realize the United States has the power to destroy the entire country if we wanted to. Iran’s comments just sound foolish and stupid.

And yet, Iran's comments are perfectly sane compared to the things Trump has said on a variety of topics. He says something even more stupid and foolish almost every single day.

Do you think Iran could really strike a United States Aircraft Carrier with one missile? I don’t because the United States would shoot them all down the minute they go up. @windinhishair

@marriedplus3 Do you really believe having a free press is the enemy of the people? Do you think Mexico will pay for the wall? Well yes, yes you do.

Well I’m really only taking about Iran here @windinhishair

@marriedplus3 Why don't we go back to the nuclear treaty that was working? Oh right, we have John Bolton who can't wait to have another war to play with.

Why should we pay Iran to not create nuclear weapons?@windinhishair

@marriedplus3 Why should we choose to go to war in the Middle East. The last two still ongoing wars didn't go well and drained several trillion dollars from the US economy. That's about $6300 for you and $6300 for everyone in your family. And that money will eventually have to be paid. It isn't without consequences. So you'd love another war to make the debt even higher?

Who says there’s gonna be war? @windinhishair
windinhishair · 61-69, M
@marriedplus3 Bolton is doing his best to create one. Stay tuned.

I just don’t think there will be a war. I could be wrong but I just don’t see it. Remember we thought there be a war with North Korea. Nothing happened so this will be the same way nothing will happen @windinhishair

@marriedplus3 You also thought NK had stopped their nuclear program and wanted to give the Nobel to Trump. Now NK is working on their program again and firing missiles. I guess Trump's promise to meet that with fire and fury the likes of which the world has never seen means he'll tweet about how much he likes and admires their Dear Leader?
marriedplus3 · 31-35, M
I agree 100% Trump so far has underperformed with NK. However I think there will be a 3rd summit soon for another chance to work out a deal. If we can do the impossible and get a good NK deal and a good deal with China Trump will position himself well for 2020. @windinhishair

@marriedplus3 Here's a tip--the first two summits failed and so will the next one.
marriedplus3 · 31-35, M
Why do you think so? Do you not believe it takes time to make a deal? Rome wasn’t built in a day.. @windinhishair
windinhishair · 61-69, M
@marriedplus3 Trump has failed at everything he has done in life, and has no understanding of how to make a deal with another nation. The last summit failed in spectacular fashion because NK walked out. Trump had no clue what he was even trying to accomplish, and tried to wing it. Doesn't work that way.

Trump has accomplished a booming economy and record low unemployment numbers. And I believe with Time he can make good deals with other nations. What makes Trump better then other presidents is that he will not make a bad deal. It’s either a deal that puts America first or no deal at all with Trump @windinhishair
windinhishair · 61-69, M
@marriedplus3 No deal at all. America First is America Alone. We are fast becoming the world's pariah nation, all on Trump's watch. How's that market working for you right now? Unless we have a great rebound this month, it will be the worst May in over 50 years. And it is very much due to Trump's policies and escalating trade wars.

Trump's economy is like giving people $100 every month in 2019 so they think the economy is going great and will forever, and then taking $50 a month away until 2030. You feel good this year, but the next ten or so will suck.
marriedplus3 · 31-35, M
Ok so you want America in bad deals. Just to make the stock markets better?@windinhishair
windinhishair · 61-69, M
@marriedplus3 I want good, SUSTAINABLE deals for the US, and an expanding economy over the long run. Not something short-term where Trump can lie about a win and then saddle the country with the consequences once he's gone. He's already said he pays no attention to his expanding deficit because he won't be president when the major problems occur. He wants short term "success" at the expense of the nation in the long run. As long as it benefits him personally, 320 million Americans can suffer the consequences later.

So you don’t agree the China has been ripping off America for years. It’s interesting because even Chuck Schumer just last week urged Trump to stay strong on China! So yes even Chuck Schumer agrees with Trump on China @windinhishair
windinhishair · 61-69, M
@marriedplus3 An escalating trade war will damage both nations. Trump's chief trade advisor Kudlow admitted it this weekend.
marriedplus3 · 31-35, M
So Chuck Schumer is wrong to? @windinhishair
windinhishair · 61-69, M
@marriedplus3 In this case, absolutely. We get nowhere with needless trade wars.
marriedplus3 · 31-35, M
So what your suggesting is a deal that will make China happy. Just so American markets can stabilize?@windinhishair
