WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump tweeted Thursday that Iran made a “very big mistake” by shooting down a U.S. spy drone in the already tense oil-rich region.Hours earlier, U.S. officials said an Iranian surface-to-air missile shot down the unmanned military surveillance drone over the Strait of Hormuz. Iran said the aircraft was over its territory. “Iranian reports that the aircraft was over Iran are false,” the U.S. Central Command said in a statement. “This was an unprovoked attack on a U.S. surveillance asset in international airspace.”

They’re desperate and sinking under the sanctions and they want the US Prez to be someone else, as do China and Russia.

So with 2020 Trump’s to lose, they’re trying to sucker him with this bait.

POTUS knows this is a cheap ploy, and he won’t fall for it. Let a hundred neocons scream in his ear, he will hold firm, I’m sure of it.

I think this is was John Kerry was talking to Iran about.
“Hey he wasn’t supposed to win, and this Mueller Report is a dud and impeachment won’t happen and he might just win in 2020 and NEITHER of us need that, so can you sucker this arrogant guy into a war?”

Bet that is how the chat went

The parades and ticker tape parades in Baghad were amazing, weren’t they.

Plus, now all the chicks in Afghanistan walking to school unmolested in halter tops totally WANT our bones cuz we improved that country so much. And stopped the drug trade there cold.

Iran..?

Oh, man, THIS will help Trump’s re-election sooooo much..!

Plus we’re going to make a ton of money we can spend on The Wall.

So if the photo of the drone shoot down was fake...is this what President Trump is refering to? Or just something to keep them guessing?

Shoot back or it isn’t true or your not sincere Mr. President.

I have a feeling that President Donald J. Trump (another leftist falls down in a frothing frenzy every time that phrase is uttered) will take his time about retaliating. It was an unmanned drone, after all. When the President (leftist frenzy, falling down, etc.) orders a strike, it'll be limited but effective. I'm pretty certain Mr. Trump's not dumb enough to let himself be baited into anything remotely resembling a land war in the region. We might see the destruction of a major Iranian oil shipping point.

Reminds me of my old unit’s unofficial motto: “We’re dangerous, we’re patient and we DO get even.” Translation: Don’t sleep too soundly...
