Donald Trump has enraged Americans across the country after the United States joined with Israel to attack Iran on February 28, starting a war in the region that critics contend is pointless.
The death toll from the attacks on 131 cities has reportedly reached 555, including at least 180 deaths from an Israeli attack on a girls’ school in Minab. Four U.S. troops have also been killed. Trump recently told the nation, “Sadly, there will likely be more before it ends.”

And there’s your entrance to it right there. In fact, it looks so nice, I think I’ll save money on the doors. Because it can’t get more beautiful that that. I picked those drapes in my first term. I always liked gold… I believe it’s gonna be the most beautiful ballroom anywhere in the world.”

We have sent thousands of our sons and daughters to war on this man’s whim without Congressional authorization or any idea of an end goal or plan…and he’s talking about decorating. Just absolutely pitiful. https://t.co/jnSPFyJAr4

While our soldiers are at WAR and Americans are stuck in the middle east he is talking about drapes and a new ballroom. I can’t believe people voted for this fuckface. I hate it here. https://t.co/n9bR0BkHqT
