Rumors have circulated recently that Iran, still seething over our assassination of terror mastermind Qassem Soleimani last January, is targeting U. S. ambassador to South Africa Lana Marks for payback. President Trump must have seen the intelligence and judged the threat plausible.
On Rush Limbaugh's program Friday, the president warned Iran publically, in extraordinarily direct terms, to think twice about attacking Americans or American interests: "They've been put on notice: If you f--- around with us, if you do something bad to us, we are going to do things to you that have never been done before."
For those who detest the man, it's Trump unhinged and uninhibited, perhaps overmedicated and irrational in his bout with COVID-19. If you admire the man, it's vintage Trump, Trump unbound, Trump uncensored.
Reliable information that Iran is planning to kill a U. S. ambassador? No mealy-mouthed talk from this president about illusory red lines that should not be crossed, no namby-pamby mush about potential consequences, no diplomatically worded cautionary admonitions, no backchannel feelers beseeching forbearance. Just a stark and purposely profane message to Iran's leaders about hell raining down on them, perhaps ensuring the martyrdom they crave, if they try something.
Anyone think Trump's threat didn't get their attention? I suspect that his directness scared the bejeezus out of the ayatollahs. They knew they could play Obama, ignore him, distract him. In response to a provocation, he might bomb some outpost, then quit and beg them to come back to the table. They know now that Trump is the antithesis of Obama — and the most formidable president since Reagan. And he makes no idle threats.
The swamp creatures at State are getting the vapors over Trump's explicit language, his tone and manner. International diplomats are shaking their heads and tut-tutting about the president's crudity.

A man of the people, he calls a spade a f***ing shovel.
Nothing wrong with an occassional “Sentence Enhancer”.
I agree. There are times when strong emphasis is appropriate.

What a crock of steaming BD when off camera they all talk the same way Trump doesn’t fake it he’s real all the time.
President Trump is real.
I thought it was the appropriate phrasing for the subject he was talking about, as the article seems to agree.
Clinton having raped a dozen women was ok.
Obama sending cash money to Iran in the middle of the night is ok.
Coup attempts against a republican are ok.
Silly impeachments are ok.
Heck, burning down cities is ok
But saying a cuss word?
In today’s Puritanical America?
Oh, The humanity.
Give me a break.
Sounds like the streets of New York talking.
Apparently 50 million listeners tuned in.
“Just a stark and purposely profane message to Iran’s leaders about hell raining down on them, perhaps ensuring the martyrdom they crave, if they try something.”
Agreed, making it very personal with a message directly to these dirt bags is the way to go. I’m betting this same kind of unequivocal message has already been sent directly to the mullahs.
Listened to the whole thing. Rush did not break for an obscene profit timeout for the whole two hours that the President was on.
Sometimes you just have to speak their language so that they understand.
Watched on YouTube did not hear anything. Is it possible it was edited?. Approximately how far in is the Iran F-bomb sequence.
I agree as well. Getting “triggered” over a word everyone has heard distracts from the message.
Double dumb ass on you
Great movie
Great scene.
Gracies Pregnant. Lol
Real life is R rated. Swear words may seem un-civilized to the puritan do-gooders among us, but these are not civilized times. Do-gooders that chastise people that swear for effect, are the people that will get eaten by lions.
EXACTLY!!!
