Trump floats regime change in Iran
"It's not politically correct to use the term, 'Regime Change' but if the current Iranian Regime is unable to MAKE IRAN GREAT AGAIN, why wouldn't there be a Regime change??? MIGA!!

Seriously though, has anyone had such an absolute grip on a US political party? Ever? George Washington had plenty of squabbling under him. Most dictators had more dissent.
Non-interventionism was an absolute core of MAGA; this would be like Hitler pronouncing "we love Jews!" and everyone lining up like ducks. And they are! /r/conservative is ecstatic...
Something more is going on. This seems more like psychological social manipulation. Shitty ads and political debate are one thing but I wouldn't doubt real manipulation at criminal level digitally happening along with organized crime style strong arming and extortion. I mean they could digitally instigate an unaware person to murder two lawmakers... Without it ever coming back to them.
I don't think people have the freewill they think they have here.
I dunno about extortion, but I’d buy bot/algo manipulation, yeah. That’s already what’s going on, in the open, and how Trump got elected.
In summary: "I have no fucking idea what I'm doing."
Great, so you’ve chosen to create a framework that makes this conflict an existential threat to your opponent. You’ve literally told them that they need to fight with everything they have. That’s a brilliant strategy you got goin’ on there.
He's a moron. It's amazing when he completes a coherent sentence.
Do you have any examples of such a thing ever happening? At least in the past 10 years?
He should just go there hisself and tell them what to do.
Go door to door and make the deal.
I wish someone in Congress floated regime change in the United States.
Those chucklefucks aren't going to rock a boat... even when the "captain" is drilling holes in the bottom.
"Not politically correct". It's not a slur dumbass, it's just... kind of a crime? And also, definitely fighting words. The sort of thing that might get Iran to consider a regime change here.
Maybe he can go and be President there
I literally cannot imagine how anybody Trump picks would be any different from the asshole already running the place, tho.
Worked great in South America
