As any enemy asset would. |
I enjoy reading reddit/Conservative take on this:

They are like... "is this presidential?" And also ... "He must be doing this as... distraction... right? Because the alternative is... troubling..." |
Who would want to live there or buy land/build? I mean there will be a CONSTANT threat of bombing and terror attacks. |
I'm not leaving MY country.
I'm fighting. And the Democrats will WIN this fight. It's not over, not by a long shot. |
The funniest part of the video is the bearded hula hoop girls. I guess they are good with transgender women after all. |
He posted so people would talk about this and not the House-adopted budget. |
Here is the thing, each time he does this tactic he has to make it more interesting and crazy or it stops working. I personally don’t think this distracted from the budget, quite frankly I expect this behavior from him now. |
I hate having a pre-teen bully in charge. |
I thought Suzy Wiles was supposed to be babysitting him. I haven’t seen any evidence of that. |
I don’t think too many Arabs would be surprised or shocked by this. They are used to stuff like one shot two kills and all that. Most probably yawned. |
Honestly it’s just coming off cringy and immature now, not even shocking. Like the annoying class clown who nobody laughs at. |
Can’t wait to vacation in what will be the Monaco of the Middle East. |
Distraction as a byproduct is very likely. Though it seems the obvious main goal is to essentially push other surrounding Muslim populated/ruled countries to see this as such an extreme and terrible alternative that self-moderation of radicalism is the only option. Of course this is the strategy of a true narcissist who thinks this is just the “art of a deal” and international relations is just another stage for familiar business strategies (see Canadian tariffs). It’s only a bonus for him that this video will ignite outrage among the “libs”.
Beyond the obvious appalling nature of this being used as a one size fits all tactic to anything put in front off him, it is a dangerous miscalculation here as it will 100% lead to terrorism that also have a one size fits all approach to dealing with their enemies, particularly those who insult what they view as the most sacred tenants of their religion. No one “wins” in any of this. Just short term saber rattling to satiate the base who cheer this shit on with their Mountain Dew visors. |
This is all negotiation tactics to get Arabs to act. |
