Politics Iran Karoline Leavitt
Karoline Leavitt blamed the war on Iran for refusing to understand they’d already been defeated – 17 totally on-target comebacks
If you want evidence of the impeccable (impeccably twisted) logic that lies behind Donald Trump’s war on Iran, look no further than his White House press secretary, Karoline Leavitt.
As the world waits to find out if (or maybe when) Trump will escalate the conflict several times beyond the chaos he has already unleashed on the world, Leavitt said there was only one person to blame for the ongoing war. And that was Iran, obviously.
Why? Because they just didn’t understand that they’d already lost.
White House statement tonight:
“President Trump does not bluff. He is prepared to unleash hell. Iran should not miscalculate again.”

And if you’re thinking one or two people (and not just in Iran) might have something to say about that, you’d be absolutely right. You could feel the mockery (perhaps disdain is more accurate) all the way from the moon.

Rhetorical question: If Iran has been defeated, why send tens of thousands of troops.

Last I checked Iran is making twice as much money as they were before Trump shot himself in the dick. Now they’re setting up a toll both in the Hormuz Strait while we burn a quarter trillion dollars and pay $6/gallon for gas.
Right now, they are winning. https://t.co/GjqoLYZtnD

If you have to beg an enemy to convince them he’s been defeated, then he’s probably not been defeated. https://t.co/q1A18lGfgf

💀 Total Madness
They know they are lying. We know they are lying. They know that we know they are lying. We know that they know that we know. And they do not care. Because the objective was never the truth. The objective is the trade.
