Donald Trump Predicts President Obama Will Launch War With Iran To Get Elected

» 51 comments

As we wind down the clock on 2011 (Guys, why are still using winding clocks in 2011? Go digital!), a lot of people are making predictions about the year to come. With the Mayans already having staked a claim on one of the biggies, most pundits are focusing their predictions on the coming election. Yesterday, The Five‘s Kimberly Guilfoyle predicted that President Obama already had the election “wrapped up.” Today, Donald Trump shared his two dollars (rich men’s thoughts are worth more than two measly cents) by predicting that, to win the election, Obama would launch a war with Iran.

Trump’s prediction came amongst a series of tweets promoting his upcoming book Time To Get Tough, which he promised would be his best since his 1989 bestseller The Joy Luck Club.

Trump claims his book will offer “solutions you won’t hear from the politicians” to the problems we face. Using a #TimeToGetTough hashtag, Trump elucidated on some of these problems, including the situation with Iran.


He followed that up with his Obama prediction:


It’s an interesting theory. Of course, at one point, Trump predicted that he’d be running for President so, really, only time will tell.

    Why not? Obama has already launched a war on America.

    I thought it was a War on Christmas?  When did the GOP stop understanding what war actually is?

    I predict Donald Trumph will keep making ridiculous predictions in a desperately pathetic attempt to remain relevant.

    Donald is trying very hard to stay relevent for when he and Sarah go third party.

    Trump is a clown, a total buffoon with a lot of money.

    Sorry – you’re confused with Tea Party and rest of GOP that have signed a treasonous pact with Grover Norquist, pledging support to him over the US Constitution. Try again.

    Ah, the Bigot speaks!  And, if O DOESN”T start another war, then the Bigot will whine that Obama isn’t strong enough. This guy needs to finally just sit down and shut up.

    Predictions are fun.

    Donald will enter Āzarbāijān-e Sharqi during a midnight border crossing astride an aged Soviet BAT-M.  With preternaturally skilled Barron Trump charged with navigation and Ivanka communicating with the locals, Donald makes it to Tehran one step ahead of the Iranian special forces who are in hot pursuit.  Answering an ancient riddle gains Trump entrance into Ali Khamenei’s private quarters (the answer given in the original Avestan) where he enters into a chess match with the Supreme Leader.  As an master of the Hypermodernist chess school Donald quickly earns the right to establish a 636,372 square mile resort to be called, “Trump Persia”.

    I love how he tweets that we need to “get tough” on Iran, suggesting that taking the hard line stance against Iran is a GOOD thing. Then, he suggests that if Obama “gets tough” on Iran, it’s just because he’s trying to get re-elected.

    That’s clever snake-oil salesman tactics by Mr. Trump, there.

    Attacking Iran is already claimed by the conservatives. Most of the Teapublicons in the last debate promised to attack Iran.

  • 越飞

    Rumor (started here) is that Obama paid off the investigators by giving them one trillion dollars each. (Trump, for all his pretense at wealth, is a cheapskate.)

    Going through the same motions you have done since January 20th 2009. Must get really boring.

    Let’s all hope that Obama doesn’t feel the need to get reelected so greatly that he does start hostilities with Iran.

  • labman57

    Donald suffers from a fundamental character flaw exhibited by many conservative pundits and political wannabes — when in doubt, make crap up.

    Trump has spent most of his adult life surrounded by brown-nosing “yes men” (and women) who would never tell him that he’s full of sh*t for fear of being fired. And so he doesn’t see the necessity to “do his homework” and engage in some basic fact-checking before making public comments on matters of which he is completely ignorant.

    “I’m the boss, and therefore everything I say is correct” doesn’t work outside of the board room or the faux reality television show.

  • Dirk

    If Trump and Republican chickenhawks want to attack Iran, it’s to protect America. If Obama does, it’s for personal gain.
    Because Trump’s ego is so much smaller than Obama’s.

  • Mari Johnson

    Oh my, and we should pay an ounce of attention to this too sucker just why.  He has me giggling away with his advice.  One needs at least a bit of sense in order to pontificate with any believability.  Trump’s entire life is no record of sanity whatsoever!

    We’re all still waiting on Trump the Liar to release his promised tax returns – as well as provide us with the ‘amazing things’ his Super Secret Hawaiian Birther Task Force investigators discovered.

    Until he does both, no media outlet that gives him a forum has any credibility.

    Elvis photoshopped it – with help from the Roswell aliens and Jim Morrison. They have a touch-up shop on the Hale-Bopp spaceship.

    First of all, I’d be surprised if this stupid son of a bitch could pick Iran (that would be I-Ran for you rednecks, hilbillies and crackers who can’t pronounce a damn thing properly) on a map.  Secondly, 44 knows what type of global havoc a war with Iran would do.  I mean he might be a billionaire and can afford $8 a gallon gas, but not the rest of us. I think he needs to spend more time finding a reputable barber, than thinking about what 44 is going to do to get re-elected.  Besides, isn’t that what stupid ass George W. did?

    First he will try a third party on the right to split the vote and if that doesn’t work Trump could very well be right.  Although for some reason BO doesn’t like Pakistan a lot so they might be part of the mix.

    Donald looks dumber by the day.  Amazing.  Republicultism is indeed a dread disease of the weak & needy.

    I don’t think so Donald.  Starting a war requires that a decision be made.  The only decision he has made has come directly from The Scarecrow.

    This is ignorant.

    Donald Trump  YOUR A JOKE WITH A BAD HAIR PIECE. Your mad cause Presdent Obama flew in to New York w/ his family to see the lighting of the christmas tree. That is something to see. But just face it in New York It’s called GRID LOCK, YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO DRIVE A LITTLE BIT AND SIT AND INCH ALONG. IT’S CALLED TRAFFIC LIGHTS,CARS AND TAXI’S ALL INCHING TO ONE PLACE OR ANOTHER. It’s not call blame it on your president.It’s called GRID LOCK for a reason.  It’s really sad to blame everything on the President. I voted for him cause Mr. Gorge Bush did nothing for us except leave a bigger mess for President Obama to clean up. If he wasn’t in office it would be left for somebody else to clean up after him, like you.
      So before you start yelling and pointing the finger take a good look at yourself.

    Don’t you think it’s time to stop living in the past and get on with your life ? Surely there’s some cause that’s relevant in today’s world you can put your efforts in ?

    Who and what is a Grover Norquist?  What kind of threat does a Grover Norquist hold over the congress, that they must swear allegiance to him instead of the people of the United States.  Why are they afraid to do the right thing?  We are supposed to be a Christian nation.  Jesus said we should feed the hungry, clothe the naked and heal the sick.  That is what Christ said  Who is Grover Norquist to go against Christ?  The anti-Christ?

    First of all, I want to see Donalds birth certificate and his High School transcripts.  Here’s how I see it.  Suppose I’m Iran and I finally get a nuclear bomb or two,  would I be so dumb as to start a nuclear war when I know Israel, the United States, Russia, Great Britain etc. have many more trained at me, that would completely annihilate Iran.  They don’t seem that dumb to me.  Nobody with any sense would do that now would they?

    And I predict trump will not release his tax returns as promised.

    People easily forget LBJ + Vietnam. irony here that LBJ, a Democrat, got into politics to get children meals in school and later as president sent the boys into war. I guess they needed their strength before heading into battle.
