President Dunderhead took to Twitter to tell Congress that if Iran strikes, he will retaliate “quickly & fully strike back, & perhaps in a disproportionate manner. Such legal notice is not required, but is given nevertheless!” Tweets are not legal notice, though, and there are channels a president is supposed to go through before declaring war, and it’s not supposed to be done on Twitter. We realize he uses the social media platform to puff out his flabby chest to give the appearance of being a tough guy, but he’s really a delicate little flower who uses Twitter to whine incessantly, and we’re pretty sure other countries have noticed that, too.
“These Media Posts will serve as notification to the United States Congress that should Iran strike any U.S. person or target, the United States will quickly & fully strike back, & perhaps in a disproportionate manner,” Trump tweeted. “Such legal notice is not required, but is given nevertheless!”

Twitter users quickly jumped in.
Do I believe my eyes? You are notifying Congress of your intentions via tweet. Go play golf. We will be safer that way.

Wow. Trump is quite literally using Twitter as a way to declare war on Iran without even notifying Congress through official means. Never before in the history of the United States has any President been this unhinged and disrespectful of our Constitution.

This:
I believe Trump just publicy ripped up the Constitution, asserting that he alone can decide when, if, how and why the Country goes to war.
And he asserts no one but him may decide the scope of war we wage.

If former President Barack Obama pulled this shit, conservatives would have circled the White House with torches and pitchforks in hand and demanded that he vacate the premises. This ‘man’ was incapable of holding the highest seat in the land before he took office, and instead of getting better, he’s getting worse.
