Media delegitimization & erosion of shared reality

Donald Trump Issues New Threat to Iran. President Donald Trump has issued a stark new warning on social media. It threatens “Death, Fire, and Fury” if Iran disrupts
Strong leadership from President Donald J. Trump backing America’s warriors as they confront the Iranian regime’s terrorist networks with decisive force and unwavering commitment to the safety of the American people. 🇺🇸🫡
Trump bragged about low gas prices. The Iran conflict has him doing an about-face. Oil and gas prices have spiked with the war in Iran. That has President Donald Trump pivoting from bragging about low gas prices, to now saying oil prices make the country "a lot of money" because of its oil production
Trump tries to navigate Iran war and rising gas prices at first rally since strikes began. President Donald Trump delivered a mixed message about the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran on Wednesday in his first remarks at a political rally since strikes began less than two weeks ago."You know, you never want to say too early you won,
Donald Trump Critics Target His Latest Threat to Iran: ‘He Needs to be Impeached’. Critics are sounding the alarm after President Donald Trump issued a warning to Iran over social media, with some calling for
I can hear Trump now……😂😂 “we’re taking the oil”…. In my opinion, Iran has no leverage, even Saudi Arabia are against them now…..
Anyone who pushes this wasn't paying attention. Trump talked about Iran since the 80s and he has maintained that stance. You can watch his original campaign videos as well. iran was always a target. He directly talked about it multiple times.
President Donald J. Trump demanding Iran’s unconditional surrender reflects a strong and uncompromising approach toward a regime that has threatened the United States and its allies for decades. Many supporters see the message as clear leadership that refuses to reward aggression or terrorism with concessions. I fully support this!
In 2015 President Donald J. Trump descended the Trump Tower escalator and made a direct pledge to the American people. He said he would stop Iran from ever obtaining nuclear weapons. That promise defined a major part of his foreign policy vision. Supporters argue that today President Donald J. Trump is following through on that commitment and continuing the effort to block Iran from becoming a nuclear armed power. For many of them this moment represents the fulfillment of a pledge first made nearly a decade ago. 🇺🇸
Well Chucky, maybe it’s just beyond your comprehension! I think the president has laid out quite adroitly what his goals and aspirations are for this conflict with Iran.
It just goes to show that the Iranian people have another side of the story to tell other than the media. The left says that Mr. Trump is wrong but the Iranian people say thanks for what he's doing, but pitifully the left doesn't want to hear that part. Thanks for posting this Mr. David Harris Jr..
I find this humorous coming from him. The conflict that we are in isn’t a war nor a declaration towards war. Iran opened their mouth and trump busted their lips.

Situation with Iran moving along rapidly : Trump says US military unsurpassed amid conflict with Iran
It means Trump holds all the cards against Iran, Congress just watches.
I use ChatGPT to fix all the mistakes!!! Maybe he should give it a try 🤷🏻♂️ The United States remains firmly committed to stability and security in the Middle East. Recent developments indicate that Iran has begun to step back from aggressive actions toward its regional neighbors. This shift comes after sustained pressure and coordinated efforts by the United States and our allies, including Israel, to deter destabilizing behavior in the region. For many years, Iran has pursued policies that raised serious concerns among neighboring countries and the broader international community. Today, we are seeing indications that those actions are being reconsidered. While this represents a potential step toward de-escalation, the United States will continue to monitor the situation closely and remain prepared to defend our interests, our allies, and regional stability. Our objective has always been clear: to prevent conflict, protect our partners, and encourage responsible behavior among all nations in the region. The United States will continue working with allies and partners to ensure peace, security, and accountability moving forward. — President Donald J. Trump
For anyone who doesn't yet know what monster President Trump is currently fighting. Iranian Police Chief Ahmad Reza Radan threatened the Iranian people in an interview with Iranian radio station IRC on Tuesday, March 9th. He said protesters would be treated "like enemies." Radan explained in the interview: "If someone takes to the streets at the behest of the enemy, we don't see them as protesters, but as enemies. We will treat them accordingly." Radan added threateningly: “We are ready to pull the trigger. This is the Mola regime, these are the monsters in my country, Iran, who call their own people enemies and shoot them. Now imagine what they will do to you and the world if they remain in power and if President Trump doesn't destroy them. They will destroy not only us Iranians, but the entire world population. The world is being condemned to death by these terrorists and Islamic fanatics who know nothing but hatred, terror, and murder. The decision is now yours: Do you want to support President Trump, or do you want to continue blocking him and complaining about oil prices, which are only high in the short term and only until these monsters are destroyed? Do you want to prevent President Trump from waging war against these monsters?” Decide for yourselves.
Iran was the same threat before Trump attacked them as they have been for the past 30 years. Trump just needed a war to overthrow US elections
The vast majority of Americans, and billions more around the world, are hoping that Iran is able to carry out thier promise of personal retaliation against trump.
Amazing how Newsmax thinks Iran is backing Trump into a corner & had limited options. Believe me, Trump is not threatened by Iran & he already has many options & a strategic plan.
Trump keeps telling America he's winning in Iran. He's less clear in explaining how the war ends. When it comes to the war with Iran, President Donald Trump has cycled from calls for "unconditional surrender" to sounding amenable to an end state in which Iran trades one hard-line ayatollah for another
Joe Rogan says many Trump supporters feel 'betrayed' by Iran war. The influential podcaster, who endorsed Trump in 2024, said the decision to strike Iran "seems so insane based on what he ran on."
President Donald J. Trump is right that preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons is vital for global security and stopping a dangerous regime from threatening the Middle East and the world must remain a top priority. 🇺🇸
Trump says Iran war moving very rapidly
How Putin Views Trump's War in Iran. Russia's President is profiting from rising oil prices, but he's also facing a hard new reality: he's no longer the lead disruptor of the postwar global order
Iran’s three Russian-made Kilo class attack subs, can carry a compliment of “Kalibr” cruise missiles (though likely upgraded to newer hypersonic missiles)—-capable of sending a warhead 2500 km [ie: a sub could sit offshore in the Atlantic, & incinerate Chicago]. At each boat’s christening (I wonder what Islamic term replaces that…), speeches were given; asserting these subs would help destroy America. Reject ANYONE proclaiming “Iran was no threat”. Liberalism is synonymous with ignorance.
Strong message from Trump: peace comes only when Iran stops the threats. 🇺🇸
Uhhh... Trump ran on no foreign wars and America first, but this is Israel's war. Also, the trump appointed Kash Patel fired our Iran counterintelligence before all this only because they just so happened to be the same ones who looked into trump after having kept confidential government documents at his mar-a-lago estate, which sounds to me like he merely traded valuable foreign intelligence and national security for political retribution over a completely warranted investigation. And it doesn't seem very decisive when he claimed to have decimated Iran's nuclear program midway through last year. The ONLY decisive action he has taken is to make this entirely fucked attempt to bury the EPSTEIN FILES in total chaos. Let us know when you're done gargling those orange balls, yeah?
Trump releases Russian Oil So that's the reason for the attack
Respectfully Sir. Trump had no business Bombing Iran, unprovoked. They were Not A clear and present Danger. AS per OUR Intelligence Community. During the Talks to reach peace, On Friday Iran Had Agreed to Reduce their Nuclear Materials to near UNREFINED levels. Trump Bombs them in the Wee Hours of the Morning, Saturday. They were essentially waving a White Flag. Sir I have No Love For Iran. I loath them to be honest. But we can't sink to Their Terrorist Levels. We're better than that. Or we Used to be. Trump said it was because of Protestors being Killed. That's Happening HERE. Loss of Civil Liberties, Constitutional Rights. Freedoms. All gapping Here. Trump is and has been Actively Trying to Prevent The Mid Term Elections. He has Said He needed to Stop the Mid Term or The Democrats would win, and He would be Impeached. Sir Just because you don't like the Possible Outcome of an Election is not an Honest Legitimate Reason to stop elections. I believe this Bombing was twofold for Trump. To take the focus off his involvement with the Epstein Files, and to Stop The Mid Term Elections. To prevent Trump losing The Majority in the House and Senate. So he won't be impeached. He has tried to come up with Several different ways to prevent the Mid Terms.
Loudest critics of Trump's Iran war don't reflect polling of MAGA support. The loudest MAGA critics of President Donald Trump's war against Iran may not represent the movement's voters, with multiple polls showing overwhelming support among Trump's base for the war. If the likes of Tucker Carlson,
How do you know what Iran wants? Stupid statement
Do you support President Trump’s warning to Iran? 👍 Yes or 👎 No
Iran is throwing missiles and drones in every direction/country indiscriminately . Their ideology is evil ! 
I just read that they attacked like six countries and that they believe the Iranian government is just trying to destroy whatever they can because they know that they're going down
He could be manipulating the markets: Former Trump adviser on the president saying Iran war could be over soon. Former Trump National Security Adviser John Bolton says President Trump “could be manipulating the markets” by saying the
Trump said after the first attack that Iran was decades away from a nuclear program.
Propaganda. Trump doesn’t give 2 shits about you or any American in the Middle East. But, they’ll try to make it look like they do…
Stand With Trump! Support the Iran Mission! https://www.facebook.com/share/v/189zwCprud/
President Trump's goal in the conflict with Iran is to achieve objectives quickly to avoid a prolonged war, according to Hogan Gidley and Marshall Billingslea. The Trump administration's objectives include destroying Iran's ballistic missile capabilities, weakening its navy, and preventing it from obtaining nuclear arms ¹ ². Some key points about the conflict: - *US Goals*: The US aims to prevent Iran from destabilizing the region and acquiring nuclear weapons. - *Military Action*: The Trump administration has launched strikes on Iran's military assets, including its nuclear facilities. - *Diplomacy*: Trump has expressed a preference for diplomacy but hasn't ruled out military action. The situation remains fluid, with concerns about oil prices, regional stability, and the potential for escalation ³ ⁴ ⁵. Would you like to know more about the impact of the conflict on global oil prices or the potential for future negotiations?
I love how newsmax trolls around the capital to find people to praise Trump. Yet CNN is in Iran itself, risking their lives to report what the Iranian people say. Way to go newsmax being a “real” news outlet.
The Islamic regime in Iran poses a significant threat to global security. Had the world acted sooner, we wouldn’t have such a formidable terrorist regime. Americans and the world owe President Trump gratitude for his unwavering support in eradicating the regime today, rather than regretting his inaction later. As the Iranian people prepare for regime change and Trump backs them, why do some criticize him instead of appreciating his actions? I want to thank him for his bravery decision and standing in the right side. # IranRevolution2026 # KingRezaPahlavi # ThankYouTrump # ThankYouNetanyahu
It's interesting to see politicians comment on leadership in other countries. The situation in Iran is complex, and changes in leadership could have major implications for global relations.
"President Trump thanking NATO Secretary‑General Mark Rutte highlights how the U.S. is framing broad allied support for its actions against Iran — even if NATO as an alliance isn’t directly involved. It underscores the political importance of international backing in a conflict with massive global implications, but it also raises questions about how far informal ‘support’ differs from formal alliances."
Donald Trump should have taken the advice of someone he really admires before going into war with Iran. “GOING INTO THE MIDDLE EAST IS THE WORST DECISION EVER MADE...” Donald J Trump 2019
Is he going to personally sit down with the Iran President and convince Iran to stop the fighting?
I'm just imagining Russia: There's one headed right for you. Iran: where? BOOM. Russia: oops
President Donald J. Trump made it clear that the United States will not negotiate with Iran unless the regime fully capitulates. He declared that there will be no deal except unconditional surrender. Period!
