Donald Trump told a Florida crowd that it is “treasonous” to say the US is not winning the war in Iran. The US president was speaking at The Villages in Florida, the world’s largest retirement community, when he made the remarks. Trump came to tout supposedly fulfilling his 2024 campaign promise to remove taxes on Social Security. It came after the president told Congress that the war in Iran had already ended, despite his earlier issuing a fresh threat to Tehran.

    The truth, since he wants people to know it, is they assassinated the leaders & military infrastructure hoping Iran would collapse. And when it didn’t there was no plan. Generals and regional experts presumably advised on the sheer stupidity of the attack but none had the balls to resign. So now there is an oil crisis, and when the war is over Iran will emerge from this even more entrenched and dominant than ever.

    If the law punished real treason, then the entirety of the Heritage Foundation, AFPI, the Republican Party, heck, the majority of evangelicals would be swinging

    Just like it’s treasonous in Russia to call their ‘special military operation’ a war.

    What a country to mirror yourself to.

    Trump thinks any criticism of him and his failures is treason.

    he likes to frame it as treason, because he wants to kill people who are critical and oppose him.

    If the goal of the war was to increase gas prices by about 50%, murder a bunch of random schoolchildren, and accomplish nothing else, then they’re doing a real bang up job of it.

    Isn’t there, like, a VERY specific definition of treason, right there in the Constitution? Specifically to prevent people from pointing at stuff they don’t like and going “that’s TREASON!”? Something about needing two witnesses or something too, I think.
