donald trump is having a complete meltdown this morning he's behaving like an absolute lunatic but what else is new he appears to be threatening nuclear war with russia here's what donald trump just posted on social media moments ago

Did I hear former President Medvedev from Russia casually throwing around the N-word, nuclear, exclamation point, and saying that he and other countries would supply nuclear warheads to Iran? Did he really say that, or is it just a figment of my imagination? If he did say that, and if confirmed, please let me know immediately."

And Donald Trump puts immediately in all caps, the N word should not be treated so casually. I guess that's why Putin's the boss. And he puts that in caps. By the way, if anyone thinks our hardware, and he puts that in quotes, was great over the weekend, far and away the strongest and best equipment we have, 20 years advanced over the pack is our nuclear submarines.

They are the most powerful and lethal weapons ever built and just launched the 30 Tomahawks. All 30 hit their mark perfectly. So in addition to our great fighter pilots,

Thank you to the captain and crew! These are the rantings and ravings of an absolute lunatic who this morning is threatening nuclear war, is calling it the N-word, and is saying, did I hear former Russian President Medvedev say that he was going to use the N-word and that he was going to supply Iran with nuclear warheads? This is what Donald Trump is talking about?

This morning, this is what he's posting on social media. He was also panic posting the following this morning as well. This is all in caps. Everyone keep oil prices down. I'm watching exclamation point. You're playing right into the hands of the enemy. Don't do it. Exclamation point. That's what you're posting in the morning. You sound like a panicked lunatic.

He then posts the following as well, straight from the central planning department of the Trump regime to the Department of Energy. Drill, baby, drill, drill, baby, drill. And I mean now exclamation point.

Does he think the Department of Energy does the drilling? Drill, baby, drill, Department of Energy. Oh, and then he also attacked Republican Congress member Thomas Massey of Kentucky. Get this bum out of office ASAP. Get this bum out of office ASAP! Exclamation point. Now,

Oil prices are surging, which you're going to feel at the pump soon as inflation continues to rise, as unemployment continues to rise, as GDP continues to contract.

Oil prices are surging in the wake of U.S. strikes in Iran. The U.S. oil futures jumped 3.6% Sunday to about $76.47 per barrel, and it seems that it's only going to be getting higher with rhetoric like Donald Trump is using this morning.

One of the main issues is whether or not Iran will shut down the Strait of Hormuz. The Strait of Hormuz passes right by Iran and Oman. At least two super tankers made U-turns at the Strait of Hormuz following the U.S. military strikes in Iran. Ship

Tracking data shows as more than a week of violence in the region is prompting vessels to speed, pause or alter their journeys. Also, the United States State Department sent out a notice to all Americans in Qatar to shelter in place that their lives are in jeopardy as a result of potentially being targeted following attacks.

The United States strikes on Iran. George Conway posted the following. Gosh, I'm shocked that the verbally and mathematically subliterate quote businessman who cheated to get into Penn bankrupted so many of his businesses and pissed away so much of his real estate fortune. His father created doesn't have a clue about the law of supply and demand.

That's in response to Donald Trump's post this morning. Everyone, keep oil prices down. You're going to fall right into the enemy's hands. Keep oil prices down.

George Perks writes, it turns out creating a situation where 25 percent of global petroleum liquids might go offline at any minute has an impact on oil prices. Who could have guessed that? Meanwhile, Iran's military central command spokesperson issued the following statement. Mr. Trump, the gambler, you may start this war, but we will be the ones fighting.

who ended as we look at some of the high resolution satellite imagery of the four do nuclear facility. It does not appear that the facility was completely destroyed. It does appear it was damaged, but we do see here if you look at this photo and you zoom in, you'll see 16 cargo trucks were entering tunnels

at Iran's Fordow nuclear facility shortly before the U.S.-Israeli strike, raising concerns that Tehran may have secretly relocated enriched uranium or critical nuclear minerals ahead of the bombing. Lots of people were also saying that as a result of Donald Trump's social media posts,

and Trump's behavior and his statements like, oh, we're planning something far bigger than a ceasefire, far bigger than a ceasefire. That Donald Trump also tipped off Iran for what was going to happen so that they were able to limit the damage that was actually being caused. I think Jake Brough makes a good point here when he shows this photo

of former presidents giving speeches to the American people at the White House and contrasts it with Donald Trump. Jake goes, I have never seen a U.S. president that was so weak and so scared about talking military action

that he needed his yes-men entourage to keep him company at the podium in the cross hall. Donald Trump came out there with J.D. Vance, Marco Rubio, and Pete Hegseth, versus in the past, commanders-in-chief addressing the American people directly. From the New York Times article,

over the past 24 hours. Trump's incessant tweets gave away his war plans and convinced the Iranians to hide a ton of uranium. Nice job, Donald. And who do we have right now as running counterterrorism in the United States? This guy, Thomas Fugate, 22-year-old. He was a grocery store clerk, and that's what he was doing. But, uh,

He was a big MAGA person, and that's ultimately why I was reading what the meme actually says. But he was a grocery store clerk, and that's why he was a big MAGA supporter, ultimately picked by Trump, because he was a big MAGA fan, has no counterterrorism experience before.

Pat Ryan, a veteran who served two combat tours in Iraq, says the following. Trump is claiming his strikes on Iran made the American people safer.

He is dangerously wrong. I served two combat tours in Iraq and am now in the Armed Service Committee. His actions were not only unconstitutional, they have made America less safe, not more. Here's why. Within hours of strikes, Trump said the nuclear facilities were completely and totally obliterated. This was literally impossible to know. A battle damage assessment takes days or even weeks, especially given the secretive and fortified nature of all three targets.

This morning, Chairman Kaine made it clear it was far too soon to know whether Iran's nuclear program was destroyed. I hope and pray the strike was successful, but there's a real chance the operation wasn't fully effective. If so, the risk to the U.S. is dramatically higher. Iran now has every motivation to break out and develop nuclear weapon as quickly as possible.

Given the lack of clear rationale for why this preventative strike was needed and what exactly it was capable of achieving, this is an incredibly dangerous amount of risk to take on. I know Trump said he now wants peace. I share that goal. The problem is that, as Secretary Mattis always says, in war, the enemy gets a vote. We have 40,000 troops in theater. The risk of an Iranian or proxy counterattack is much higher. I'm praying for their safety.

It's not just conventional attacks from Iran, ballistic missiles, drones I'm worried about. It's asymmetric escalation, cyber closing the Strait of Hormuz, militant groups in Iraq deciding they have nothing to lose. It's God forbid a strike on the homeland. I love our country. I proudly put my life on the line to keep the American people safe. And I'm under no illusions about the Iranian regime. It's evil. But war is hell and Trump just introduced an incredible amount of risk and volatility into the global order.

For a guy who ran on keeping us out of war, this is a total 180, and he did it without ever making the case to the American people or involving Congress."

or even getting on the same page as his own director of national intelligence that's deeply wrong and un-american we need to have an honest conversation as a country about what comes next and we cannot repeat our approach from 2001 and 2002. the answer cannot be we'll figure it out as we go i lost too many friends because of that logic

Meanwhile, you have MAGA Republican Senator Joni Ernst from Iowa. She says this is not a war. We're not actually in a war. This was just a strike. This is not a war. Here's what she says. Play this clip. They do not want to see a war. This is not a war. This was a strike on a threat to the United States of America. I would say as well, this is retribution, Harris, for the thousands

Thousands of American lives that have been taken by Iran through direct strikes from Iran, as well as their terrorist proc. Meanwhile, you've got MAGA Republican Congress member Pat Harrington on Fox saying we're trying to lower the temperature by raising the temperature. Play this clip. Be with you. Look, this is certainly a dynamic environment, right? We're trying to lower the temperature of global conflict while simultaneously reducing

kind of raising it here in order to lower it. And so I think the Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, is exactly right. It would be Iran's worst decision possible to this point. They've made a lot of bad decisions up till this juncture to come back and attack America or American troops.

I genuinely hope that they don't do that, but we'll just have to wait and see here. Then you had MAGA Republican Congress member Keith Self threatening to bomb downtown Tehran. Play this clip. I don't think they'll go big because if the president's promised if they go big,

with major missile strikes against our assets. We'll go back downtown Tehran probably. But yes, it is time for them to come to the table, to come to the table to negotiate the peace that we have demonstrated. The president is serious when he says the U.S. will demonstrate peace through strength. We did that. Now it's time for Iran to come back to the table and make a deal with the president.

All right. We will be watching very closely, of course. And then moments ago in front of the White House, you had Donald Trump's faith office praying and speaking in tongues at the White House. Play this clip. And this is the time. And so we declare right now from the capital of our nation that America will come back to God. We will come back to God. Nothing will stop this nation. And we speak right now by the authority of heaven.

That's what's going on in the White House right now. Donald Trump threatening nuclear war against Russia and calling it the N-word. I'm Ben Micellis. This is the Midas Touch Network.
