       As the Tangerine Tyrant's deadline approaches & we await to see how his threat will play out, my Q. is: is this President just a more normal POTUS but turned up to 11.Previous incumbents have dressed up actions with a range of justifications (which they have often sought to 'sell' to the international  community); perhaps the TT's distinction is he can't be bothered to sugar the pill... so what we are seeing is the US explicitly doing what in the past it tried to mask?#Iran #USA #politics

       @ChrisMayLA6 Exhibit A:Extra judicial assassination of what is generally accepted to have been more than 3000 people under Obama. Trump is a lot less polite and substantially more erratic but they all do it.*edited to add ref:* WashingtonPost June 3 2016.https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/national/obama-legacy/drone-program-strikes.html
