Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

It's almost as if he's begging mossad

This was my first thought as well. Iran has no reason to assassinate him, none. But now that he’s saying this, the one country that desperately wants the US to attack Iran has every reason to assassinate him and frame the Iranians.

Iran has no reason to assassinate him,

Soleimani?

[–] coolusername@lemmy.ml 27 points 5 days ago

Iran acts very rationally. They already got their revenge and said that was an end to that.

[–] Gucci_Minh@hexbear.net 22 points 5 days ago

You can't airstrike spongebob or spiderman

[–] edge@hexbear.net 8 points 5 days ago

Pure revenge is not a good reason. It doesn’t help them in any way.

this idiot didn't think about this. The odds of Trump getting killed by the feds or Israel seems pretty damn high right now.

I wonder if one of the zionists in his orbit set this up purposefully as a gambit, the man does repeat almost anything he hears

[–] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 68 points 5 days ago

The dude is going to choke on a McFish and spark a nuclear winter.

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 61 points 5 days ago (2 children)

My guy, a groyper white boy school shooter and a gen-x ukranazi reddit lib got closer to killing you than Iran ever did.

[–] someone@hexbear.net 46 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Also, why would anyone in a decisionmaking role in the Iranian government ever want to assassinate Trump? They share a common goal, the end of the United States' ability to project power abroad. The only difference is he doesn't know he's doing it.

Maybe they're poking the hornet's nest

"No, stop bro. Hey you better stop those tariffs on Canada! We will not stand for this!"

This is why we need DOGE: a department to efficiently eliminate government departmental inefficiency, efficiently govern, and then leave an effective department in government to efficiently govern the other departments.

....

PART 2: EFFICIENCY BOOGALOO

odds are more in favour of another Ukronut assassination attempt, when Trump forces Ukraine to accept an unfavorable peace treaty.

[–] Z_Poster365@hexbear.net 35 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Or a CIA dude who’s pissed his funds for overthrowing Georgia or Serbia just dried up

[–] Justice@lemmygrad.ml 37 points 5 days ago

Lmao, ok. Thanks for that fully unprompted information, Mr. President, sir.

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 35 points 5 days ago

And what if it's an attempted but failed assassination in which the assassin conveniently gets away and disappears?

This is so unprompted it seems suspicious.

[–] vegeta1@hexbear.net 33 points 5 days ago

None of the assassination attempts came from there. You can do all bad by yourself

Why would Iran even want to assassinate Trump? You don't hamper your enemy when they are making mistakes.

[–] Spongebobsquarejuche@hexbear.net 19 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Iran is too stoked watching Trump cook to even be contemplating killing him.

[–] Cammy@hexbear.net 22 points 5 days ago

With the history of assassination attempts against, he should have the US as his prime target for obliteration.

[–] mar_k@hexbear.net 20 points 5 days ago

why didn't he sink TERF island in his first term after that british guy tried to assassinate him? :(

[–] GenXen@hexbear.net 18 points 5 days ago

Fuck me, it could actually be a genius move to force Iran to cover his ass if he's discovered that Mossad was already planning to whack him (which could be completely plausible IMO).

TRUMP'S DEAD HAND (2026)

Tagline: If you shoot at the king - you're f*cked.

Doomsday machine | Nuclear Deterrence & Cold War History | Britannica

A doomsday machine [is a] hypothetical device that would automatically trigger the nuclear destruction of an aggressor country or the extinction of all life on Earth in the event of a nuclear attack on the country maintaining the device.

[...]

In 1993 a respected U.S. expert on the Russian military asserted in an interview that the Soviet Union had developed a type of doomsday machine in the early 1980s and that the device was still operative in Russia. The automated system, known as the Dead Hand, was allegedly designed to launch nuclear missiles at U.S. targets if it detected a nuclear attack on Moscow and if communications links with top military commanders were cut (indicating that the commanders had been killed)
