Iran is breathing a sigh of relief today after SCOTUS obliterated our military and destroyed our country....

“Without tariffs, and all of the TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS we have already taken in, our Country would be completely destroyed, and our military power would be instantly obliterated,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

I'm not sure if the boats and airplanes are still there and just unable to do anything, or if at 10 am there were beams of light that shot out of the sky and "obliterated" them--or maybe they just went "poof."

Either way it happened, ETTD....

I'd like to see where those "trillions of dollars" went and into whose pocket.

Someone should explain to Trump what "obliterated" means.

This was not a problem the day before Trump took office, but the next day it became the biggest threat to the country in its history and all laws and Constitutional provisions had to be set aside to deal with it. How do the MAGAs explain this, and why would the Supreme Court, including two of his three appointees, purposely destroy the country?
