Donald Trump threatened to “take over” Iran if the Strait of Hormuz was not immediately re-opened, the president told Fox News.
His latest round of threats came in response to news Saturday that Iran was once again closing the key waterway, just days after signing an agreement to ensure that traffic could flow through.
Iran announced that it would close the Strait of Hormuz after Israeli forces continued an all-out assault into Lebanon aimed at dislodging Hezbollah militants.
It’s not. I wouldn’t use it against the people it was used to make fun of, because they certainly don’t deserve it.
Trump, and his ilk, are so revolting, disgusting, insulting, ignorant and crass that no other single word would cut it. We need to repurpose it.
But that is akin to saying it’s revolting, disgusting, crass for someone to be intellectually disabled. There are millions of words and we can even make up entirely new ones, why do we need to repurpose an ableist slur?
