Trump did three quick posts in succession, then stopped for a while. The first one was about the strike last night and it's success.
CNN says now that six B-2 bombers dropped 12 GRU-57 bombs on Fordow nuclear enrichment plant. With the six holes at the site, that means that each plane dropped one bomb to pave the way, and then a second to really do damage. This is possible because the GRU-57 has moveable guiding fins and military grade GPS could send the second bombs down those holes. The other two sites I'm going to skip. Fordow was the most important.

Then comes the post that will be reviled and criticized a great deal. Trump jokes about "regime change" with Make Iran Great Again. MIGA.
"It's not politically correct to use the term, 'Regime Change'..."
So why the hell are you using it? Why do you say it's the wrong thing to do and then do it?
"... if the current Iranian Regime is unable to MAKE IRAN GREAT AGAIN, why wouldn't there be a Regime change???"
He knows damn well that he's talking about assassinating Khamenei. Israel may have their own plans they may put in action. They know that Trump has already posted that he knows where Khamenei is and can take him out any time, but he won't do it if Iran unconditionally surrenders. Iran isn't surrendering. Iran is threatening to close the Strait of Hormuz. Their is their navy vs. our navy, and they could mine the channel and then shipping would stop. Maybe. We could send in minesweeper. We don't know the configurations of the carrier strike forces heading towards the area, but there might be one in the group. Ships and submarines have other ways of getting rid of mines when needed.
Trump ends the sentence with three question marks. Highly unusual. Then he ends it with a childish "MIGA!!!" Now he can talk about regime change without actually having to say it. He can just say MIGA again.
So, is Trump going to assassinate Khamenei without any consultation with Congress? Years ago, he took out commander Soleimani without consultation. It could be considered an act of war. But he's already done it before.
Then the B-2 bombers got back to their base in Missouri. The reason it took so long for them to get back is because the B-2 bomber is subsonic and was going against the rotation of the Earth.
Then Trump just has to sign off on the whole event like he was the one who actually dropped the bombs. He may not feel so proud when Congress has a spine this time and does something. This can't go unanswered. Declaring war by the United States cannot be done by one man.
Calling Schumer is not consulting with Congress. Jeffries as well. Republicans obviously don't matter. She's right. Everything she says is fake news.
Rep. Jasmine Crockett.
If one of the most important powers of Congress is given up by this one because of their fealty to Trump, we are no longer a democracy. That sounds strident, but this is a power Congress cannot give up.
And the voice of reason.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
Iran was calling Trump a madman before the attack on Iran. I expect many other countries will join that opinion.
Donald did one last post because he was hearing stories that there was no way to tell if Fordow has been destroyed, being so far underground. Gen. Caine at the briefing this morning said it was too early for a damage assessment. Trump thinks he knows better.
He's talking about the new Fordow picture that shows the undamaged above ground building. There is no way to know the underground damage.

It's just six holes in the ground right now. Even shooting a second bomb down each hole. That's it.
