These Media Posts will serve as notification to the United States Congress that should Iran strike any U.S. person or target, the United States will quickly & fully strike back, & perhaps in a disproportionate manner. Such legal notice is not required, but is given nevertheless!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 5, 2020

Dotting legal i’s. Crossing legal t’s. Can’t get much clearer that he expects that he WILL have to take military action and that he won’t accept Dem’s portrayal of it as illegal or immoral. I expect it will be short, sweet and decisive. I think he’s hoping that the result will be Scared Straight.

This is stable genius on POTUS’ part. He has just turned Twitter into a Legal Public Notification vehicle. This is step 1 (or 2 or 3...) to regulating them.
