Trump’s UN Ambassador tried to explain why Iran is so dangerous and it was a glorious self-own for the ages

The Donald Trump White House has a round about way of providing transparency unlike any previous administration before it. The admissions ooze out of every media appearance. They’re just not on purpose.

The president and his devoted underlings might do their best to  disguise the truth, but the projection from the top on down gloriously exposes their true beliefs.

And they don’t come much glorious than this. It’s Mike Waltz, the US Ambassador for the UN Wii went on ABC News to talk about ongoing negotiations with Iran.

He raised a legitimate question about the danger of an unhinged regime being in control of nuclear weapons and, well, best have a watch for yourself.

He did this with a straight face. He apparently meant what he said.

Unfortunately for Waltz, the replies online found an apt comparison for his concern and it was a little closer to home.

I genuinely don’t understand how this is *not* trolling. Seriously.
I’m meant to understand that he is talking about *another* country that is *not* ours…..*un*ironically. And that this is *not* trolling.

Is political solipsism a thing? Does that exist? And is this that? https://t.co/rjHL0WKuJx
