Donald Trump’s hasty attempt to defang Iran’s budding nuclear weapons program was a monumental failure, and if you doubt that, you don’t need to look any further than his frenzied social media postings since news broke that his attack on suspected Iranian nuke facilities only set back the inevitable making of an atomic bomb by a few months. They were not, as Trump bragged, “obliterated.”
“The US military strikes on three of Iran’s nuclear facilities last weekend did not destroy the core components of the country’s nuclear program and likely only set it back by months, according to an early US intelligence assessment that was described by seven people briefed on it,” CNN reported this morning.
“The assessment, which has not been previously reported, was produced by the Defense Intelligence Agency, the Pentagon’s intelligence arm. It is based on a battle damage assessment conducted by US Central Command in the aftermath of the US strikes, one of the sources said.”
“The analysis of the damage to the sites and the impact of the strikes on Iran’s nuclear ambitions is ongoing, and could change as more intelligence becomes available. But the early findings are at odds with President Donald Trump’s repeated claims that the strikes ‘completely and totally obliterated’ Iran’s nuclear enrichment facilities. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth also said on Sunday that Iran’s nuclear ambitions ‘have been obliterated.'”
Trump has spent much of yesterday and today trying to counter that narrative, firing off one deranged online salvo after another, which only serves to undercut his assertion that he accomplished something.
Here’s a sampling:

We just caught the Failing New York Times, working with Fake News CNN, cheating again! They tried to demean the great work our B-2 pilots did, and they were wrong in doing so. These reporters are just BAD AND SICK PEOPLE. You…

Last weekend, the United States successfully carried out a massive precision strike on Iran's nuclear enrichment facilities, and it was very, very successful—It was called OBLITERATION. This incredible exercise of American…

We've collected additional intelligence, and we've also spoken to people who have seen the site—and the site is obliterated!
However, it was another posting Trump made that is getting him ripped apart online.
The post, which was made to Truth Social and Twitter/X, is a video which shows B-2 stealth bombers dropping bombs to the tune of “Bomb Iran,” a 1980 parody of the 1960s hit “Barbara Ann.”
Trump posted a “Bomb Iran” music video with these lyrics:

Reaction was sharp and swift, unlike the failed attack ordered by the Rapist-in-Chief.
We just wasted millions and risked US troops lives for a video selling the notion that shitting the bed instead of victory is cool. https://t.co/aHQuqGZ4W7

We have an adolescent nutjob who may or may not be suffering from tertirary syphillis as commander of the U.S. military.
Yeah, we’re freaking doomed.
