How did Iran’s public threats and billboards escalate a direct threat to Donald Trump?

Ben Meiselas 0:00
Donald Trump is living through a Monday from hell right now and apparently is begging for another mediation with Iran as Iran is pummeling US bases in the Middle East. Donald Trump is fearing for his life and also has been forced to admit late last night that he will not be using Qatari Air Force One for the foreseeable future at least one month until it is maxed out with some defense capabilities because Trump fears that Iran is trying to kill him Iran has been putting up billboards throughout their country that look like this. Hey, terrorists, get ready to die. Who is the next one? And then it has D and T that are bigger than the other letters. Then it says hashtag lockdown. Lindsey Graham. Oddly, Donald Trump's been posting photos of himself in the Oval Office with Lindsey Graham this morning.
Ben Meiselas 1:01
They have these photos in Iran of Donald Trump in a casket. And when you zoom in on some of these billboards, it says, hashtag, we kill Trump. And now at the same time, Iran is posting those images online. I just found it notable as well this morning that FIFA cropped out Donald Trump from the stage with Spain at the World Cup finals when Spain won and Donald Trump tried to inject himself in that photo. Also, Spain edited out Donald Trump from that photo.

Why did Trump decide not to use Qatari Air Force One for the foreseeable future?

Ben Meiselas 1:34
as well that they've been posting on social media. Donald Trump was just there, everyone's like, get out of this photo. I think it's also notable as one commentator notes, when you ask the nation to go to war and we have troops getting killed right now in the Middle East, as Donald Trump also doesn't even have the right interceptors anymore in the Middle East, and our troops are just out there just being, you know, so vulnerable. When you ask the nation to go to war, the first family should not be posting this. Take a look at the Trump family all posting being at the World Cup and having the time of their life. Now, Juxtapose it to these photos right here as we learn the identity of our troops who have been killed in the Middle East as a result of Donald Trump's catastrophic war.

Private Isabella Gonzalez, 19 years old, of Carleton, Texas, killed in Jordan. First Lieutenant Tyler James Freehand, 25, of Hawaii, killed in Jordan as well. um and here was donald trump on the tarmac late last night or yesterday um in the evening uh saying that uh we now have to max out the qatari jet with uh missile anti-missile capabilities uh and then don't worry we'll get back to it listen to what donald trump says here let's play this clip
President Donald Trump 3:04
Well, it has. It has a lot. And, you know, it has a lot of capability. But as I understand it, in about a month or so, they're going to send it to have it be maxed out. So they're going to be sending it and they'll have it be maxed out in, I think, about a month.

Iran's top civilian politician who used to be in the Iranian army, by the way, MB Ghalabaf said the following. This is what he just posted. Americans keep bringing new military equipment to the region and then claim thereafter they're stopping the war. They've bet on our intelligence being as brief as their own IQ. We've reached the stage of mastery in recognizing these American games, and on that basis we've prepared ourselves. Actions must confirm claims, not contradict them.

What images and social media posts show Iran celebrating threats against Trump?

Ben Meiselas 4:00
Now, as the United States is now running low on munitions, and of course low in our strategic petroleum reserves, We're now learning that in 36 months from now, Lockheed Martin may introduce a PAC-3 adapted capability effector, a new Patriot interceptor that may cost less, perhaps half as much as the current PAC-3 missiles that we're running out of. So those current interceptors cost about four to five million dollars each shot. So when you see those Iranian ballistic missiles strike in Jordan or Kuwait or Qatar or Bahrain or any of the neighboring Arab nations, each one of those interceptors that the United States is firing is 5 million and they're not striking the Iranian ballistic missiles that are clearly hitting their targets and doing a massive amount of damage.
