You remember the time when Donald Trump, President of the United States tweeted the most shocking fact about himself?
….Actually, throughout my life, my two greatest assets have been mental stability and being, like, really smart. Crooked Hillary Clinton also played these cards very hard and, as everyone knows, went down in flames. I went from VERY successful businessman, to top T.V. Star…..

It had this really epic fictional quality about it, particularly the ending!
….to President of the United States (on my first try). I think that would qualify as not smart, but genius….and a very stable genius at that!

Cut to: July 22, 2018.
President Donald J Trump of the United States has dropped another explosive tweet. Like literally, ‘explosive’. It involves an outright threat to the President of Iran. And an overuse of the Caps Lock key.
To Iranian President Rouhani: NEVER, EVER THREATEN THE UNITED STATES AGAIN OR YOU WILL SUFFER CONSEQUENCES THE LIKES OF WHICH FEW THROUGHOUT HISTORY HAVE EVER SUFFERED BEFORE. WE ARE NO LONGER A COUNTRY THAT WILL STAND FOR YOUR DEMENTED WORDS OF VIOLENCE & DEATH. BE CAUTIOUS!

Nope this is not a parody account.
Wow. WOW.
So that’s how World War 3 begins? On Twitter?
To throw this into context, this tweet comes in the wake of Iranian President Hassan Rouhani’s warning to Trump to “not play with the lion’s tail, because you will regret it eternally.”
“Americans must understand that war with Iran is the mother of all wars and peace with Iran is the mother of all peace.”
It must also be noted that it was only in May of this year that Trump scrapped US’ nuclear deal with Iran which former prez Barack Obama had negotiated in 2015.
Of course, Donald Trump’s Twitter which usually brings a lot of entertainment to media and people alike, has left everyone a little lot scared over the possibility of a nuclear war. And Twitter’s dealing with it with a heavy dose of awkward humour.
What else you gonna do, haan?
With best compliments, from the leader of the free world!

People couldn’t help but point out the irony of how during the elections, Hillary’s female emotions were considered too explosive for presidency….
Can't let a woman be president, she won't be able to manage her emotions… https://t.co/gaq1aLhFz4

Some others called for a suspension of Donald Trump’s Twitter account because a war threat is clearly against Twitter’s content policies, right? RIGHT?
so uh, when is @Twitter going to suspend Trump for threatening war over social media https://t.co/XksO1lcvnF

And then, there are those who just want to watch the world burn! But not without a joke before that!
Several people called out Trump for not displaying any hostility against Russian President Vladimir Putin for his threats against the country.
Do Russia next. https://t.co/vveinf5xtD

The hilarious analogies though were the icing on this cake!

Ah. Wishful thinking is the shizz, isn’t it?

However, my most favourite observation of the entire fiasco has to be this obviously glaring flaw in Donald Trump’s plan….
Iran doesn't even have twitter ffs Donald https://t.co/VZxmhOi0O2

What ya, Donald? You had ONE job!
Twitter was super quick about turning the tweet into a hilarious meme!
I mean, who called it Donald Trump’s official Twitter account and not a meme generator?
Sexism joke ft Caps Lock!

Oooooh fans can be brutal. Just ask the Star Wars fandom (if you know what I mean)….

I guess this observation sort of sums up the general mood in the house right now…
And also note very rarely does @realDonaldTrump do two things: a/. Tweet without an error and b/ tweet in all CAPS : so be scared. Very scared. https://t.co/yJcZJf6ARr
