1. Is he going to make them go around the room and say nice things about him,

like the cabinet members. He’s been over 24 hours without a praise choir.

[newdeal2]

5. He didn't like how the soldiers marched

He’s telling them to launch a full investigation.

[badhair77]

14. Lol

[vapor2]

24. true

[hlthe2b]

2. If this happens and Tehran-- a city of 9.8 million and 16.8 million including suburbs is bombed

by conventional or (Gawd, forbid) nuclear weapons, Israel is all but self-destructed. Likewise, the US becomes the pariah of the world.

[Ponietz]

3. We could be at war before morning

Pakistan will ally with Iran.

[allegorical oracle]

17. Probably a bunker buster going in to bomb the deeply buried nuke material that

everybody seems to know they have stored. Trump and Bibi make quite a team.

[Melon]

28. That already happened prior to your post.

[Ponietz]

29. No

Israel hasn’t yet used bunker busters. The U.S. has the trigger for those.

The entire Israeli campaign to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons will be considered a failure if the spinning centrifuges deep underground at the Fordow enrichment facility south of Tehran are left untouched, the former head of U.S. Central Command said Monday.

"I take it at face value when the Israelis say if Fordow is untouched when they're finished, they would regard it as a failure" of Operation Rising Lion, which began last Friday with wide-ranging airstrikes against Iran's air defenses, military facilities and key leaders, retired Marine Gen. Kenneth "Frank" McKenzie said in a Middle East Institute panel discussion.

Former CIA and National Security Council official Ken Pollack, the panel's moderator, said he had been told by Israeli officials that, "If this ends with Fordow still functioning, we have not achieved our objectives."

Even as Fordow remains a high priority for the Israelis, the facility has been relatively untouched thus far, McKenzie said. "I'm certain they're gonna get round to Fordow," he said, but how the Israelis could attack and destroy a facility believed to be protected by reinforced concrete a half-mile underground was unclear.

23. As will China and Russia.

[C_U_L8R]

4. Butthurt narcissist lashes out.

Runs home in a pouty rage to break things and destroy the world

This may be the last and only opportunity for his cabinet
to invoke the 25th and protect the nation.
Unfortunately, they're as mad and corrupt as Trump.

[CincyDem]

6. Trump is laboring under the delusion (among many), that the country will rally around a "wartime" president.

History may say so but not this time TACO.

[allegorical oracle]

18. Well, he can kiss the Nobel Peace Prize goodnight. nt

[Norbert]

22. Oh No. He will fully expect a Nobel Peace Price

As in peace through strength.

If Carney ends up with it he will go full defcon.

[Hekate]

7. He could have a sundowner all over them. With any luck all the sane participants could wait til morning...

…to have a translation of his babble & confirm of any “plans.”

Otherwise…

[Starbeach]

8. Ruse?

He did not look well in Calgary today.

[riversedge]

9. Be sure to have his late dinner prepared--probably steak and chocolate cake with all the goodies.

[CentralMass]

15. Two scoops.

[WiVoter]

19. I Wonder if he has a good taster

You know, just to be sure ..

[LisaL]

21. Isn't McDonalds his favorite meal?

[Raven123]

10. It's all theater.

[Strelnikov_]

35. Agree. He needed cover for bailing on the G7

[kennyperkins]

11. Does this mean

The USA is going to have troops on the ground in Iran????

[D. Spaulding]

12. We sent all those tankers as well, and then there's Trump's warning to evacuate Tehran.

I wonder if that means that Israel is about to launch a massive, devastating attack on the city, in an attempt at getting the people to overthrow the regime?

[stillcool]

13. I didn't think he had a National Security Council

After Mike Waltz Exit, Trump Slashes NSC Staff
https://instituteforglobalaffairs.org/2025/05/after-mike-waltz-exit-trump-slashes-nsc-staff/
On May 23, the Trump White House enacted a major overhaul of the National Security Council (NSC). These layoffs come just three weeks after President Trump removed Michael Waltz from the role of national security adviser and appointed Secretary of State Marco Rubio to the position.

Despite its outsized power in Washington, the National Security Council is not well known to the general public, which is why the Institute for Global Affairs at Eurasia Group has been closely tracking personnel moves and how they translate into policy.

Many of the senior NSC staff profiled in IGA’s in-depth resource — Who’s Who on Trump’s National Security Council — have now been pushed out of their roles. Among those reported to be departing are Principal Deputy National Security Adviser Alex Wong, Senior Director for the Middle East and North Africa Eric Trager, Senior Director for Europe Andrew Peek, as well as communications team members like Deputy National Security Adviser for Strategic Communications Brian Hughes. Some of these staffers are likely to be reshuffled to other agencies.
-----------------------
Details are emerging on how the NSC will look after its makeover. “Some of the teams on the council that focus on specific regions or issues will be gutted, while others will be collapsed and folded into others. Still other teams will cease to exist,” The New York Times reported.

16. More like the Nut Squad.

20. Bombs away - polls are bad, and these bozo leaders are being uncowed, *GOING*!
