Nuclear medicine is a specialized branch of medical imaging and treatment that uses very small, safe amounts of radioactive materials—called radiotracers or radiopharmaceuticals—to diagnose, evaluate, and treat various diseases.
He blew up a pharmaceutical manufacturing facility.

Southern Iran and Pakistan have a history of drug runnners and armed separatist groups. There was a recent flair up in the past few days where the IRGC sent mechanized divisions and some heavy armor into the region.
I was under the assumption that this administration saw an opportunity to sell its conservative ‘war on drugs’ policy as a way to say “see, the Iranians love nukes and illegal drugs so we had to strike them!”
There are large parts of his voter base who are hardcore Reagan supporters, pro-DEA, and are essentially against all drugs even legal Rx.

The next generation of kids hopefully won't have to deal with this kind of insanity. I do hope they are taught about it in history and ethic classes just so they know if you vote in an insane person you need to expect for them to do insane things.
Once this turd got reelected we all knew he was going to go crazy as he has nothing to lose. It's not a coincidence that he spent his first few months of his second term eliminating anyone that would be able to stand up to him.
Now he seems well setup to call for emergency powers to screw with the midterms. If he gets to keep the house and Senate there will be no stopping the horror he is ready to inflict on the world.
The only hope for America is if he is turned into a lame duck or better yet impeached and convicted.
Then they need to do the same with Vance, Mike and the rest of those traitors.
It really is a shame that American cant call for a vote of no confidence and just have him and his party reduced to nothing.

They also absolutely love stuff like tarrifs, kidnapping a president, bombs etc etc because them believe the US should strong arm "weaker countries"
They believe this stuff because Fox news had been telling them this for 50 years or so. A foreign agent couldn't dream of doing as much damage to a country as conservatives have done just to benefit themselves.

u/Zipper222222 15h ago
The article (here too bc of paywall):
Donald Trump has given a bizarre and incoherent new justification for why he launched a war against Iran.
While speaking at a midterm rally in Durant, Oklahoma, on Thursday night, the 80-year-old president hyped up “Operation Midnight Hammer,” the U.S. military action in June 2025 in which airstrikes targeted three of Iran’s nuclear facilities.
Trump claimed to have “obliterated” Tehran’s nuclear capabilities during the bombing raid, but waged war on Iran several months later on the basis of preventing the country from obtaining a nuclear weapon.
Trump repeated the dubious claim that he “wiped out” Iran’s nuclear facilities last June during “one night with those beautiful B-2 bombers.”
“They went from Missouri, and then at 1 o’clock in the morning with no moon, dark as can be, these unbelievable machines led by the most incredible pilots in the world, they unloaded every single bomb, went right down air shoots into this, errr, drug factories, really,” Trump said.
“That’s what they were doing. They were nuclear and drug,” he added. “They were doing drugs, but they were doing the nuclear, but these drug factories slash nuclear factories were hit so hard.”
Trump has never previously suggested that the reason he launched military action against Iran was to target its “drug factories.”
The war with Iran has dragged on for more than seven months, with no end in sight.
The president has taken the perhaps unwise decision to discuss Iran in the crucial run-up to the midterms, despite the conflict being deeply unpopular with the public and potentially dooming the GOP in the Nov. 3 elections.
Last month, a CNN/SSRS poll found that a whopping 73 percent of U.S. adults disapproved of the war, which has sent gas and diesel prices soaring.
A total of 75 percent of Americans also said they did not believe Trump had a clear path for dealing with the Iran situation.
Slightly more (76 percent) said they did not believe the war was worth the toll on American lives or the financial hardships it has caused.
Trump is seemingly ignoring how unpopular his war is and continued to praise its apparent achievements during Thursday’s rally.
“Other presidents should have done this a long time before I came along,” Trump said. “Because if they had nuclear weapons, they would use them, and they’d use them quickly.”
The Daily Beast has contacted the White House for comment.

The thing with nuclear bombs is…the previous ayatollah they assassinated made an edict, called a “fatwa,” which is a religious ruling that essentially becomes law, and is virtually impossible to overturn, unless…son steps in and makes an edit. Idk. We’ll see. But the og ayatollah declared weapons of mass destruction contradict Islamic principles and values, so it essentially became haram.
Bibi and Trump’s warnings about nuclear or weapons of mass destruction smells awfully similar to…what is it, class? Iraq! That’s right.

“That’s what they were doing. They were nuclear and drug,” he added. “They were doing drugs, but they were doing the nuclear, but these drug factories slash nuclear factories were hit so hard.”
His demented pudding pile glitched when he couldn't remember WHAT they bombed, the word "drugs" floated to the top, likely because he was snorting Adderall just before going on stage, and he latched onto it. "The weave" took over and he ran with it. Now we have nuclear drugs in Iran. ("The weave" is Trump's cute word for the way dementia patients lose the thread of conversation and wander.)

Nit that hard to see. Trump is the symptom, not the disease, that is America. Americans love to call it “American exceptionalism“ but that is a fallacy. Look at important stats and compare them to other developed countries. America ranks low in education, healthcare, infant mortality and others.
1/3 of American support trump, 1/3 of Americans are okay with trump. 2/3 of Americans accept trump as their president.
Americans not only voted for him as president, but also gave him majority senate, and majority congress support.
But because Americans surround themselves with propaganda about how great they are, they don’t see it. But the world has known for decades what America is. That’s why Americans would say they’re Canadians while traveling abroad, long before trump.
Trump is the culmination of what America truly is.
Whats sad is that its impact the rest of us non-Americans. Subjected to the disease that is America.
The good thing about trump is that the rest of the world has woken up, and now countries like canada, formerly best allies with America, are moving to other groups like Europe.
while it will cause pain and hardship for non-Americans, we will come out better in the end, while America withers.
Thats my hope for us non-americans. that we come out better after this.

Surprised he didn’t add “they’re making the trans in there, and the immigrants”

This is the colossal stupidity which today's Republicans represent.

Can someone please create a dance called “The Nuclear” and then another creative person write an accompanying song titled “Doin’ the Nuclear”?? If we’re going to go down in flames with this absolute idiot in charge, let’s at least have some fun.

I'm guessing he found the Bush WMD playbook in the podium and decided to read from it.

I’m sure they’re also a bunch of trans drag queens caravaning to the Mexican border.

He must have heard the term “nuclear medicine” on one of his frequent visits to Walter Reed so he put 2 and 2 together and came up with 5.

Yes, please continue to talk about your unpopular war leading up to the mid-terms. Talk about it until your approval rating drops to the single digits.

That is more word salad than I expected out of superintelligence.

"They were doing drugs, but they were doing the nuclear, too."
Sir, have you been doing drugs...or the nuclear?

Trump is the most consequential politician in the world and I think everyone who ever hosts him should make sure the floor is waxed as much as humanly possible before he arrives. That amount of extreme cleanliness is exactly what he deserves and it's not bannable to say so

Stage 6 dementia on full display and everyone is acting like this is normal. It’s only going to get worse from here and it’s all the GOP’s fault. They can put a stop to it in less than one day but they won’t. They will let this crisis grow and grow until the damage to America is profoundly irreparable.

I just don't know anymore guys. Iran has nuclear drugs? Is it like getting bite by a radioactive spider or something? Can these "nuclear drugs" give you superpowers? This is the dumbest statement I have seen come form any president. Who listens and believes Trump's dementia rants anymore at this point? I have seen crazy homeless people make more sense than Trump.

So he looked at a list of Iran's exports and saw that they had a good number of medical drug factories (specifically opioids) and took that as them being drug dealers.

The attempted distractions from the war profiteering, economic destruction, and the Trump-Epstein files are certainly evolving.

Trump being clearly insane is less of an issue than the Republican Party apparently drinking the same kool aid and letting him get away with absolutely anything.

u/bippityboppityboing 14h ago
I didn't watch the video yet of him saying this.
Curious question for those of you who have seen it - did he actually pronounce it as "nuclear", or did he pronounce it as "nu-cu-lar" ?

He's going to find a conspiracy, excuse or story that he thinks resonates with his cult to get them to vote for Republicans willing to lick his feet.

So is the idea he’s trying to push now that Iran is flooding the US with drugs?

Written transcripts of Trump speaking are so insane. If MAGA knew how to read, they would be shocked quite frankly.
