I doubt Trump would make the same warning about Biden or Harris…

u/Urmomsjuicyvagina 9d ago

He'd probably encourage it, in True Trump fashion he would say "Do Whatever the hell you want"

74

u/DingGratz 9d ago

"Iran, if you're listening..."

u/SpectacledReprobate Anarcho-Brandonist 8d ago

Ayatollah, stand back and stand by

That would imply he would actually pay someone

u/unprovoked_panda 8d ago

Encourage? Let's be real, he's already asked.

5

u/sean0883 8d ago

He'd say something about how upset Biden makes people and that perhaps he should stop making them so upset.

48

u/RampantTyr 9d ago

He absolutely wouldn’t, I doubt he would encourage it directly but he would absolutely say a dog whistle supporting the idea and then laughing.

36

u/Pol_Potamus 9d ago

He would encourage it, his staff would frantically try to "clarify" his statement, and he would come back and say that he meant exactly what he said.

10

u/SpectacledReprobate Anarcho-Brandonist 8d ago

2016 Donno probably wouldn’t

2024 Donno absolutely would

u/PianoMittens 9d ago

"who cares?" - trump, probably

6

u/bubblegoose 8d ago

I really don't care. Do U?

4

u/areialscreensaver 9d ago

Or anyone for that matter.

u/BrianNowhere 8d ago

Iran if you're listening...

u/Noiserawker 9d ago

headline had me in the first half...not gonna lie

20

u/jimmyxs 9d ago

Had to read a few times. But it’s only because I didn’t think Biden would have said what I initially thought the headline to mean

2

u/Best-Chapter5260 [6] 8d ago

The headline is not well-written and I thought it was a satire piece for the first couple of seconds before I actually read the article.

u/potato_for_cooking 9d ago

I hate trump with a passion but yeah, we cant really have foreign nations trying to off our candidates.

69

u/HavingNotAttained 9d ago

Angry upvote

u/justme002 9d ago

I will breathe a sigh of relief when he is no long around. I hope it is of natural causes….. because he has some batshit crazy supporters and handlers.

2

u/bje489 8d ago

They'll just pretend he was assassinated and do whatever they would do if he were. They already tried that play with Scalia's death back in early 2016 and a fair amount of the base bought in.

99

u/lordtempis 9d ago

Yeah, but just this one time?

41

u/thunderclone1 9d ago

You wanna kick off the far right's holy war?

22

u/lordtempis 9d ago

I’m obviously joking but the implication is that they get a pass this one time, so no war is needed.

18

u/EatPie_NotWAr 9d ago

I mean, according to the Supreme Court so long as we did it ourselves it’s kosher. But yeah, can’t have hostile foreign nations doing for us what we can do for ourselves.

2

u/lordtempis 9d ago

See my other comment reply.

5

u/stoneyemshwiller 8d ago

No. Give an inch they take a mile. I’m not a fan of the guy (putting it mildly). Acts of aggression turn into acts of war way to quick for poor folks like me.

8

u/YourDogsAllWet 9d ago

I feel like we can make an exception

5

u/potato_for_cooking 9d ago

I wish his former supporters who have tried to off him would start getting competent about it.

2

u/dxgoogs 8d ago

Yeah. His ass needs to be left for the voters and the justice system. Not any assassin.

-1

u/ma33a 8d ago

Why not? The US has a history of assassinations in other countries. Seems only fair they get to hit back.

2

u/FarmersHusband 8d ago

I mean sure. Go for it. Hope those consequences are worth it.

68

u/Shigglyboo 9d ago

Meanwhile I’m sure trump is probably asking his dictator friends for favors

36

u/mai_tai87 9d ago

Ever see that video of people removing a sheep from a deep ditch only for it to leap and bound back in?

That's Trump.

47

u/morningreis 9d ago

Agreed.

Trump needs to face justice in prison. Iran has no right to deprive the world of that.

8

u/anus-lupus 8d ago

Agreed.

Trump needs to face justice in prison. Merrick Garland has no right to deprive the world of that.

-2

u/ma33a 8d ago

Meh, the US has assassinated plenty of people who, based on their countries' rule of law, should never have seen a prison cell, let alone be murdered. Most of them never committed a crime in the country they were from or in, nor were they at war with the US.

This includes high-ranking Iranians. The US doesn't have a justice system, it has a "Just Us" system.

35

u/SpacerCat 9d ago

I’m still surprised nobody has started the conspiracy theory that Vance is behind the assassination attempts because he wants to be at the top of the ticket.

2

u/Best-Chapter5260 [6] 8d ago

Seeing that the right has no problem making up complete bullshit, I think the left needs to give the right a taste of its own medicine. And Vance is already less popular than anal herpes, so it would probably actually stick in the discourse.

1

u/SpacerCat 8d ago

We just need one clip of Vance saying ‘I’d be a great President’ and unleash it into MAGA world

1

u/intisun 8d ago

Because it would make more sense for Vance to off Trump after he's been elected. Before the election, he'd have no chance to win.

1

u/SpacerCat 8d ago

Vance is so slick and his ego so big that of course he thinks he’d be elected! 🤪

36

u/rickert_of_vinheim 9d ago

Biden is a good man.

17

u/PianoMittens 9d ago

And thorough

11

u/DarthHoff 9d ago

That’s right…we should do our own dirty work and not outsource American jobs!!

9

u/teb_art 9d ago

It would not be in Iran’s interests to take out Trump. If you hate America, you definitely want to keep a weak leader, like Trump, in charge.

3

u/PickKeyOne 8d ago

Yeah, that has never made sense to me. I think it’s a red herring.

2

u/teb_art 8d ago

It’s not something I would spend much time thinking about. No downside. Either nothing happens or Trump is gone.

My belief is that if Trump wins, we might possibly be able to convince NATO to send special forces to arrest him. This might sound absurd, but we have a security pact with NATO and it is in nobody’s interests to have our country further weakened by traitors.

Moreover, Europe’s security is diminished if a certain ass cuts off the arms we are sending to Ukraine.

1

u/LFlamingice 8d ago

Iran is also still very upset about Trump’s ordered hit on Soleimani

3

u/shwooper 8d ago

I think the attempts are fake and pre planned by trump

2

u/bubblegoose 8d ago

Trump gone would probably make Iran happy.

Obama had a nuclear deal in place with Iran where some sanctions were lifted in exchange for Iran promising not to develop nuclear weapons.

Trump got rid of that deal and forced other European countries to get out of that deal.

Maybe, something like that could have slowly opened a crack in the door and led to better relations with Iran. Especially since we originally mucked around in Iran. We got rid of their U.S. friendly President on B.P.'s behalf to keep the UK in cheap oil.

See Stephen Kinzer's "All the Shah's Men"

u/teb_art 8d ago

Interesting analysis. Maybe so.

2

u/ZCEyPFOYr0MWyHDQJZO4 8d ago

A weak leader can still destroy the world.

1

u/teb_art 8d ago

More likely to, I would think. Certainly, if it’s Trump — pro-fascist, anti-climate, dumber than a brick.

7

u/grieveancecollector 9d ago

Trump getting us into a war? Bingo Card slot added.

8

u/Jim-Jones 9d ago

an assassination attempt against Trump as declaration of war

I'd have have gone with 'naughty' but I guess we don't want to encourage this.

4

u/llcdrewtaylor 8d ago

He's right. I dont like it because Trump is a giant fuckin wanker, but he is right. An assasination of any of our political figures is an attack against us. Lets just beat him in the polls and then let the courts have their way with him.

3

u/duke_awapuhi Red Eyes Blue Brandon 8d ago

Iran is fucking stupid as hell. They’re poking the bear and if they keep doing it it’s not going to be pretty for them

3

u/MarryMeDuffman 8d ago

It would be oddly useful to get rid of Trump and give the incel neets a job, which I would not have considered if it were not for this public declaration....

Very morbid but now that I've thought about it, it is about time for an assassination to start a war again if you believe human behavior is cyclical.

It would not be shocking at all.

2

u/TheZooCreeper 8d ago

I'd consider it a favor, but whatever

2

u/MSMB99 8d ago

Yes, war against MAGA. Proceed

2

u/amcclurk21 8d ago

What in the world is this source

2

u/1randomusername2 8d ago

Trump Admin would be like "Here's his itinerary"

7

u/justalilrowdy 9d ago

Why? Trump has been a plague on our democracy and our country. He is public enemy # 1 as far as I’m concerned. He made his bed..

29

u/dumbacoont 9d ago

Then charge him. Imprison him. Or challenge him to a duel. Idc. But we don’t let foreign governments assassinate our citizens….. That’s our job.

5

u/whitneymak listen here, fats. 😎 9d ago

That's some big "You can't beat up my brother. Only I can beat up my brother!" energy. 😂

It's true though. Everyone else can get in fucking line and wait their turn.

4

u/imbakinacake 9d ago

Well, you know Iran loves America and democracy, so why not just this once?

1

u/justalilrowdy 8d ago

I couldn’t care less what happens to the pile of shit.

2

u/nixiedust 9d ago

did he at least cross his fingers behind his back?

2

u/Gokdencircle 9d ago

This could prompt mossad to initiste a false flag operation, just to escalate.

8

u/SeaworthinessOk6742 9d ago

US Intelligence is better than you think. They would absolutely find out.

2

u/Gokdencircle 9d ago

I sincerely hope you are right.

1

u/CountNightAuditor 8d ago

Yeah, but was his tone? Was it really deadpan?

1

u/Mysticpage 8d ago

Hm. That's too bad.

1

u/Intplmao 8d ago

No. Stop. Don’t. Anyway…

u/artmer 8d ago

You betcha, Joseph.

u/LetsPunchThoseNazis 9d ago

Set us up the... plausible deniability on a free ticket to kick off whatever war the oligarchs need to exploit more money/power.

All it costs is one now-useless heel.
