Trump’s Rage at Iran Takes Truly Scary Turn, and Even MAGA Is Unnerved

On Fox News, Donald Trump threatened to bomb all of Iran’s bridges and all of its power plants.
Making this worse, Trump declared that his threat could leave all of Iran’s 91 million people without power.
That may be the first time Trump has explicitly said this threat could apply to Iran’s entire population, which would constitute an extraordinary atrocity.
Though Trump presented this as something he’d be reluctant to do, the key is he still confirmed it’s under consideration.
MAGA doesn’t care much about Iranians, but Trump’s escalation threats do rattle them for other reasons.
