Why not?

And he will never stop them from getting nukes now. The Non-Proliferation Treaty is dead and will soon be buried under a nuclear winter.

dems should be turning attention to midterms - big ideas to help people - forget trump and the GOP - everyone can see and feel what a failure they are

No one is surprised.

America shouldn't have nuclear weapons either
Firestar002
At this point I’m sure SOME Americans are like “if giving them a nuclear weapon will let me buy things again, just do it.”
Shit…. US could give them one, but it’s a deactivated nuke. Nukes are deterrents. We don’t actually need them to be armed. (But this is just the thoughts of someone who is too tired to look deeper in. So take it as ramblings.)

We had a fantastic deal in place to keep them from building a nuclear weapon. It’s a shame SOMEBODY canceled it.

We are witnessing a miracle: the man finally utters something resembling truth, and naturally it’s about the only things his shriveled universe contains — his property, his money, and the fragile bubble of his own pampered existence. His self‑interest is so radioactive it should come with a hazard label. If ego were a pollutant, he’d be a one‑man environmental disaster.

Nah his actual thoughts are "I hope this distracts them from Epstein, and all the other illegal shit I'm doing"
NEWS FLASH: It's not, and it won't.
ChimRichaldsBud
Well, guess what. Because you ripped up a perfectly good deal (Obama?) and then decided to illegally assassinate their leadership…now they’re for sure going to make one, and there’s ain’t shit you can do about it. Good show.
Oh. And that strait? It WAS open. Your actions got it closed. And now that’s permanent. And you can’t stop it.
You also got ALL of our bases destroyed and evaporated any good will that was left with allies.
There’s more but good lord, Project Epic Fail.

"I don't think about American financial situation — I don't think about anybody."
Cunning strategy for an election year. Keep writing those campaign ads Dotard.

Did you try striking an amazing deal with Iran over a decade ago that would have prevented this?
LurkingSarcasm
They should say they've already got one.

This administration claimed they "obliterated Iran's ability to create nuclear weapons" last year (June 2025):

Commenting here because I’m putting that on Facebook later for my MAGA relatives.

They won't care. Once a new lie leaves his mouth it overwrites all the old ones the only fact that exists is what he says
duktayp
Didn't he "obliterate" their nuclear capability a year ago? He said anyone reports differently is fake news
KillingTlme
Obama took care of Iran's nuclear capabilities back in 2015. Trump put it back in place in 2017.
HonestCommentFarmer
And Netanyahu has asserted that Iran was two weeks away from a nuclear weapon for 15 years.
TheWombatStrikesAgain
Apparently Iran is really good at rebuilding nuclear weapons programs in record time. /s
EarthmanPerson
Yup, and Tulsi Gabbard, the director of national intelligence also said there is nothing to worry about with Iran.
cytherians
It was a tragic mistake attacking Iran. There was no urgent need. Trump did a favor for Netanyahu and listened to Hegseth who said they'd be done in just a few weeks. He completely underestimated Iran. But also, it's illegal to attack a country without just cause. The "Midnight Hammer" strike allegedly destroyed their nuclear material refining.
Trump screwed up and he keeps lying while flailing about with ridiculous social media threats to Iran. It's not going to end anytime soon...
Volmaaral
He really did the same thing as Putin. Look at how confident they were to just roll over Ukraine. And Trump thought he could just roll over Iran.

"nuclear weapons are complicated. Nuclear. Some people say nuke-i-lar, but it's nuclear. They have this thing called the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. Lot of Jewish scientists in nuclea. And it says that we cannot know something's position or direction and this is why we know that Iran both has and does not have nuclear weapons. Because nuclear."
(Insert sound of morons cheering)
ArchonIlladrya
The fact that I don't even know if this is an actual quote or not is fucking insane.
