I love my President.

There is speculation that this "cultural sites" tweeting is to make the Elbonians spread their defensive resources out, so the real targets are less protected.

A so-called war crime according to the Democrat media. Impeach him!

At this point, I am hoping the Iranians do indeed make an attempt on American assets (though I hope no one is harmed on our side).

These shit heads have it coming. It’s time.

What? Taking out their tourist attractions is no fair?

They can kill us but we mustn’t touch their precious ROP. Enough already.

I suspect the “cultural sites” are memorials to Khomeini and the Iranian Revolution. Azadi Tower in Tehran comes to mind.

There’s a difference between the Zoroastrians, who real Iranians identify as, and the muzzie overlords that have taken the country hostage and subjugated it.

Some of the old Zoroastrian history ought to be left alone.

Interesting thought.

He's getting in their heads. It's working.

This is a typical play that you see in "money golf". It works. I know from painful experience.

AQ tried to take out the WH and Pentagon. And they destroyed the Twin Towers. All of them are landmarks.

My wife and I are so very much admirers of President Reagan. That will never change. That said, we absolutely LOVE beyond measure our President Donald J. Trump!!!

My dad’s last act on this earth was to Proudly cast his vote for President Trump. He was 86 in September of that year. He died within weeks of the election.

He made all of us Pledge our vote for Donald Trump as his last dying wish. As the last best hope for our country.

This was not hyperbole on his part. He truly meant it.

The NYT loves the mullahs of Iran. The NYT hates the ordinary anti regime Iranians. The NYT collaborates with the reactionary mullahs

Is there anyway for average Joe citizens to request the AG to investigate persons for treason on the basis of there being a declared state of war between Iran and the US since 1979? Their invasion of sovereign US territory ie the Embassy, should constitute such a declaration of war, never rescinded but actively affirmed in their attempted invasion of the US Embassy in Iraq with Iraq’s complicity. The Dems are giving aid and comfort to a declared enemy of the US. That would, in a sane world, constitute treason.
