Trump looks ahead to next military 'conquest' amid efforts to preserve a ceasefire in Iran

Shortly before midnight on Wednesday, amid signs of strain for the ceasefire in Iran that was announced a day earlier, Donald Trump published the latest in a series of curious items to his social media platform. The apparent point of the presidential message was to warn of the potential of reviving the paused war.

“All U.S. Ships, Aircraft, and Military Personnel, with additional Ammunition, Weaponry, and anything else that is appropriate and necessary for the lethal prosecution and destruction of an already substantially degraded Enemy, will remain in place in, and around, Iran, until such time as the REAL AGREEMENT reached is fully complied with,” he wrote, adding that if there is no deal, “then the ‘Shootin’ Starts,’ bigger, and better, and stronger than anyone has ever seen before.”

But it was the conclusion of his online statement that stood out.

“[O]ur great Military is Loading Up and Resting, looking forward, actually, to its next Conquest,” Trump wrote.

.... for the Military Industrial Complex the more of a cut he can ask for in a piece of the action where massive amounts of money changes hands. Kickbacks, con jobs, graft, and corruption are trDUMP's forte and his only skill sets.
