People have been known to fly into apoplectic fits of road rage; the language that follows the universal middle finger can be very salty… but threatening a full scale act of war if an enemy makes a rude HAND GESTURE??? Please say it ain’t so.
As reported in HuffPo, Trump at a rally in Florida threatened exactly this, to vigorous applause and an enthusiastic reception.
“When Iran, when they circle our beautiful destroyers with their little boats, and they make gestures at our people that they shouldn’t be allowed to make, they will be shot out of the water,” Trump said to raucous applause from his Pensacola rally audience.
The writer of the article was so discombobulated and kerfuffled that he attempted to provide a rational alternative inference.
It was unclear whether Trump literally meant gestures from the Iranians or whether he was referring to threatening or dangerous actions with their boats.
I know we’re not supposed to diagnose any kind of illness from afar, but this kind of threat from anyone, far less someone running for the office of POTUS, must surely raise some questions about the person’s sanity.
