President Trump drops expletive in ultimatum post directed at Iran

| April 5, 2026 | 43 Comments

President Donald Trump took to Truth Social to give Iran an ultimatum. During the post, Trump said, “Open the Fuckin’ Strait” along with a message that the power plant and bridge were up for targeting. Trump indicated that the consequences for failure to opening the straight would be a “living hell.” He closed his post with, “Praise be to Allah.”

From AP News:

U.S. President Donald Trump on Sunday made new, expletive-laden threats to escalate strikes on Iran and its infrastructure if it doesn’t open the Strait of Hormuz by his deadline, after American forces rescued an aviator whose Iran-downed plane fell behind enemy lines.

A defiant Iran showed no sign of backing down, striking infrastructure targets in neighboring Gulf Arab countries and challenging the U.S. account of the rescue.

In a social media post, Trump promised strikes on Iran’s power plants and bridges and said the country would be “living in Hell” if the strait, a crucial waterway for global trade, isn’t opened to marine traffic by Tuesday. He ended with “Praise be to Allah.”

Trump has issued such deadlines before but extended them when mediators have claimed progress toward ending the war, which has killed thousands, shaken global markets, cut off key shipping routes and spiked fuel prices in just over five weeks.

Both sides have threatened and hit civilian targets like oil fields and desalination plants critical for drinking water, bringing warnings of possible war crimes.

“Iranian civilians will be the first to suffer from the destruction of power plants and bridges,” Amnesty International head Agnes Callamard said on social media, calling Trump’s threat “revolting.”

I have to say, I did find his post a bit… unhinged.

This is also the man who said America doesn’t use the Strait, so our allies should take the burden of dealing with it upon themselves. No fewer than 20 American vessels pass through it on weekly scheduled service, including TSP/MSP vessels which directly support troops in Kuwait and Bahrain.

This keeps getting weirder and weirder.

He also called them bastards. Which is a major insult “pedar sag” or “dog father”. This is a direct insult to character, parentage, and legitimacy. Now they have no choice but to double down and keep the straights closed.

If someone humiliates you in that way and you do what they tell you to do then this is an indication that you are agreeing with what they say.

Not a Lawyer

Could be.

His visibility is far greater than mine and he is reported to read over 100 pages a day in intelligence reports and news media articles. Whatever his goal are the messaging is falling flat with Americans and isn’t likely to get Europe involved in the war for a while or Iran to reopen the straights, which are his stated goals from time to time.

For real. This extends to pretty much everything he does. I cannot wait for a book written by people inside the inner circle who write to accurately describe what happened instead of to grind an axe. It’s going to be an epic book which will totally rewrite the theories of international relations.

Such cuck minded bullshit.

Trump committed the biggest foreign policy blunder in decades.

After already destroying our status as a superpower.

SFC D

Giving the Ayatollahs a 47 year overdue smackdown is hardly a foreign policy blunder. Our previous foreign policies there failed. And as far as foreign policy regarding Europe, they just got an overdue wake up call. They’re realizing they’re essentially defenseless without the USA. Again, you’re very wrong. But, you’re consistent.

Happy Easter.

Dude, and I use that word loosely, you have no idea what you are talking about. Even if I didn’t believe in what he’s doing, it would still be an epic insight because your side refuses to believe he is acting on a grand strategy because you don’t like him and reflexively ascribe everything to “maga BS” or the dreaded “project 25.” Or “I don’t understand what he’s doing, invoke the 25th!” Thr fact is, if you bother to look behind the scenes, it is fairly clear. Instead, you ignore, and scream. I guess you lack the capacity for critical thought, so can’t recognize there is learning even in things you disagree with. Like, I learned how to not ensure border security from 2020-2024. Instead you trot out “you cucks.” Dang, rapier wit. The funny thing is you are a lot like Bill Maher and a blind squirrel: every now and again I actually agree with something you say but, again like Maher, you say it like a smug, sanctimonious jerk and piss away the ability to foster civil discussion. Typical for your side, which is reliant on violence, misinformation and the sewing of discord. A national party of one plank: orange man bad. As for your claim we are no longer a superpower, allow me to introduce you to the patron saints of the cause thereof: St. Johnson, St. Carter, St. Clinton, St. Obama, and Friar Biden, who have collectively frittered away most of our diplomatic, economic and military advantages. The fact is, by any measure, we are far closer to superpower status than at any time in the recent past. Had you come in with a reasonable statement about a bipolar, uni-polar or multipolar world, a dilution of national power, balancing v. bandwagoning, realism v. Wilsonian liberalism, or any other stances, we could have a discussion, but instead you come out, well, like you always do. Let me clue you in: if everything you say just pisses people off, it’s you. Yes, I see how you get treated here, but you can have reasoned debate or you can… Read more »

Happy Easter everyone!!! Praise be to Allah.

You mean All ah ya?

SFC D

I thought you were an atheist.

Commissar

Trump convinced me the anti-Christ might be real.

Which means I not so sure about the rest of my lack of faith.

Forest Bondurant

According to your religion, you’re referring to the Al-Masih ad-Dajjal, who is supposed to reveal itself to the world from the East (not West).

Commissar

I don’t have a religion.

SFC D

Because religion is the opiate of the masses, correct?

Anonymous

None would have him.

Not even Episcopalians? Maybe the new Methodists!

Not even the Pastafarians.

So, your above comment here was meant as a deliberate “F U” to those of us that do? I know you’ll just “but Trump said…” but that’s not how it works.

Whaddah ya mean? Communism is a quasi-religion, as it has all the features of one. Das Kapital is its holy book. And it has all those saints, such as Marx, Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Fidel, Che, and even Pol Pot.

Who you kidding? Here’s your god…

Faith is just one of many things you lack.

According to your religion and your hadji-fuck calendar, this is the month of Shawwal, which starts with the celebration of Eid-ul-Fitr. Just remember, it’s against the law to have sex with animals in this country.

That will be OK for him, as he can resort to all those X-rated goat pics on his laptop.

I don’t think they feel the same about you as you do about them.

As expected, most of you are fucking frauds and simps.

You know Trump is incompetent, deranged, and unfit for office at this point.

But again you twist yourselves in knots justifying this bullshit, with only a few of you mustering a tiny bit of integrity and acting slightly uncomfortable with it.

If Biden or any democratic president said posted something like this both sides would be clamoring for 25th amendment action.

And if any democratic president posted this on Easter you guys would lose your fucking minds.

This sub is dying because you are allowing it to be a safe space for a death cult of deranged MAGA holdouts.

Bla. Bla Bla. TRUMP! Bla Bla. SIMPS! CUCKS! CULT! Bla. Bla Bla Bla.

You are SO full of drek!

As Ron White famously said “he has the right to remain silent, just not the ability”. Trump runs his mouth like a duck’s ass and “enhancing” his vernacular with New York street mouth is degrading to the office and America. Better that he should just deliver the damage starting Monday at midnight Iranian time and demand their surrender by noon.

Too bad there aren’t any city size atomic devices that might be applied to Tehran. OTOH, once you go down that path… things could escalate.

A bunch of us out here were worried what he would have done had they captured that downed pilot and executed him on live TV.
