**Literally** bomb them? So it’s only been figuratively up til now?

I think the only thing they will get bombed with is thank you cards. Republicans hate him more than anyone, they are the ones that have to sit in that dirty diaper aura of his and try to tune him out as he endlessly blathers about himself.

No, it’s a mistranscription - he wants to **littorally** bomb them.

Not only that, but haven’t we already done it at levels that “nobody has ever seen before”, like every other clown show this moron is responsible for?

We’ll bomb them at levels so miniscule that nobody has ever seen them before.

And still won’t.

Apparently not or MAGA Mike wouldn’t asking, with that deer-in-the-headlights expression, “What stench?” and more locally, I wouldn’t be seeing all these road signs with _Endorsed by Trump_ for the primary election.

Have you ever wanted to post something so bad, yet in such egregious violation of the rules?

I had to go back and talk to the dogs. They got my back…

Kind of waving aside that if he _were_ to perish in any manner fair or foul, _that very instant_ now-president Vance becomes CinC and the Chain of Command will want to hear what are HIS orders.

To be really safe and sure, Trump should issue a directive that in the event of his untimely death, not only must Iran be bombed into oblivion, all of his bonehead projects MUST go forward to completion, including the ballroom, triumphal arch, expanded D.C. golf course etc. and all will have to be coated with gold (liquid gold to fill the Reflecting Pool) and national holidays to be declared for Trump’s birthday and the date of the election wretches stole from him in 2020.

If the Dear Leader demands it, Vance and other sycophants must obey, or face the wrath of MAGA.
