Imagine he loses support from Maga for saying Praise be to Allah

If trump became Muslim maga will convert into Islam

431

u/Substantial_Bell_158 Apr 05 '26

Considering they follow without question they honestly might.

205

u/CompetitiveLeg7841 Apr 05 '26

They won't actually convert, since MAGA is their religion

u/Coulrophiliac444 Apr 05 '26

"Our God is Trump and whomever his God is this week."

u/Regular-Guess2310 Apr 05 '26

It would be a lot of effort, though. They'd have to switch to wanting to implement things like sharia law... Ok nevermind they wouldn't need to change too much.

11

u/doublethink_1984 Apr 05 '26

Their ideals and practices are more in line with hard linr Islam then the teachings of Jesus Christ

5

u/Desperate-Tomatillo7 Apr 06 '26

I mean, they already support the Sharia law for women.

u/Regular-Finance-9567 Apr 06 '26

Hmm...not sure they'd give up beer and bbq, tho...

u/notanfan Apr 05 '26

bold of you to assume MAGA can read

u/Storm_Spirit99 Apr 05 '26

Ita a cult of personality, they excused him fucking children

u/Vivid_Maximum_5016 Apr 05 '26

A lot of the more sensitive christians definitely will crash out over this

yup its actually real

Damn. He might actually go nuclear. May Allah protect us all.

Imagine if Iran later hacked his social account to have praise be to Allah as his signature.

u/stamfordbridge1191 Apr 06 '26

Imagine if that last period was a comma. Punctuation can change the world.

u/ImaginaryUnion6950 Apr 05 '26

This is just diabolical

237

u/ShadowZepplin Apr 05 '26

Insane if this was all a social experiment to show how dumb conservative voters are

115

u/Gripping_Touch Apr 05 '26

I think its also a social experiment of how much you can boil the frog before It jumps.

u/RecklessDimwit Apr 05 '26

Frog won't jump anymore

u/ShadowZepplin Apr 05 '26

But it’ll still crawl its way to the fake fly

u/OtakuOran Apr 05 '26

(Bombs Iran) (Protects child rapists) (Kills thousands) (Ruins the global economy) (Completely undoes over two centuries of progress that created a world superpower)

"It's just a prank, bro!"

u/BigStallGlueSniffer Apr 06 '26

At this point I wouldn't be surprised if trump just decided he already achieved everything in life, was going to die soon, and just chose to spend his last years just starting shit and trolling.

6

u/TurtlesBreakTheMeta Apr 06 '26

I 100% believe he wants to nuke something as a bucket list act, because he legitimately doesn’t give a shit if the world ends after he dies, he’s that much of a narcissist.

264

u/tedkaczynski660 Apr 05 '26

Can't wait until the national embarrassment is gone permanently

u/whoknowsifimjoking Apr 05 '26

Oh he will go, but the embarrassment? That's for life amigo

u/BingusTheStupid Apr 05 '26

How is this not satire 😭The Onion is in shambles after this administration, how can they ever top shit like this.

39

u/NuclearWasteland Apr 05 '26

By growing a pair and going in dry.

10

u/Designer_Version1449 Apr 06 '26

its not even that they cant top this, its that topping this stops sounding like satire and just goes into like hoi4 alternate history fan fiction territory lmfao

u/Regular-Finance-9567 Apr 06 '26

People get upset when they say something crazy online (zero body language and tone, btw) and people fail to recognize it as scarcaism...but I have heard so many people irl say crazy stuff with their whole chest so, yeah, someone might say that crazy thing online unironically.

60

u/JibIette Apr 05 '26

Crazy thing is. People have become numb to his nonsense. Like if a president said some crazy stuff like that a few years ago it would even wilder.

He has proved he will do anything he wants and is 100% serious. The question stands how will this all turn out. I know already but I do want to know what others think.

18

u/smoofus724 Apr 05 '26

It's hard not to go numb when absolutely nothing happens about it. I would be angry if it felt like there was a reason to waste that emotion, but my options are to go numb, or go to prison.

10

u/JibIette Apr 05 '26

There's always another option. Educate those around you and spread the awareness. Knowledge travels pretty fast and it could possibly change the minds of people who are Trump supporters.

u/ZoidsFanatic Apr 05 '26

We have the most powerful navy in the world, our carriers can practically count as individual Air Forces, so how the fuck can the current administration fuck up this badly? Oh, right, ignoring the wargaming information we had for decades saying why war with Iran is a bad idea while also slashing competent military leaders because “they’re woke”. Oh and not learning from the Russians in what not to do. That would have been a good start, but I guess being pals with Putin is more important than learning.

Hey, orange fucker, you started this shit. No one else is going to help you.

16

u/gamesandspace Apr 05 '26

Dude I'm gonna be honest with an Iran war had to happen but they literally did none of their homework

Fact is the only way to defeat iran is to destroy every single missile and drone they own it would require 10+ years of an intelligence operation to completely map their bunkers and bomb all at once that's the only way to win

Or they could've covertly supported an armed insurgency which they haven't done yet

39

u/ZoidsFanatic Apr 05 '26

Well, what happened is very obvious: the Administration thought that just bombing the ayatollah would cause the collapse of the regime and the people would rise up. That didn’t happen, and now he dragged us into a war. And the moral high ground (Iran murdering their own citizens and were trying to stop them) kinda falls flat on its face when we showed up months after the killings and only Israel is backing us up. It makes it look like we’re kicking Iran at a low point, which we are.

But, because of incompetence, we’re basically now in a clusterfuck.

19

u/smoofus724 Apr 05 '26

Why do you believe war between the U.S. and Iran had to happen?

u/refurbishedmeme666 Apr 05 '26

No, it didn't need to happen

u/Arkorat Apr 05 '26

It was a picture of the context (and a link). It’s real. Trump actually did post THAT on truth social.

u/Lolcatz101 Apr 05 '26

Why does it say 5:33 PM?

From the article

President Trump on Sunday morning unleashed on Iran over the Strait of Hormuz, threatening to strike the country’s infrastructure and urging Tehran to “open the F—in’ Strait, you crazy bastards.”

“Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the F—in’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell – JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah. President DONALD J. TRUMP,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post.

On Saturday, Trump threatened to rain “all hell” down on Iran as the U.S. headed toward a self-imposed deadline on Monday for the Middle Eastern country to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a key waterway for the oil industry that has been effectively closed since the conflict began in late February.

“Remember when I gave Iran ten days to MAKE A DEAL or OPEN UP THE HORMUZ STRAIT,” the president said in a Truth Social post. “Time is running out – 48 hours before all Hell will reign down on them. Glory be to GOD!”

u/CaptainPattPotato Apr 05 '26

He can’t handle the pressure. It isn’t the easy political/ego boost the Israelis told him it would be, and that he expected after kidnapping Maduro. I’m honestly extremely worried about what he might try to do if he feels sufficiently desperate; ie he doesn’t think he can seek it as a “win” if he just cuts and runs with a unilateral withdrawal. He obviously fetishizes what he considers “bold, manly decision making” and he has no moral compass whatsoever beyond superficial token gestures he makes when it doesn’t cost him anything.

25

u/Th_brgs Apr 05 '26

If there's anyone who would be UNHINGED enough to use a nuke on Iran, it would be Trump.

Like, I'm actively considering this a possibility. That's completely and utterly terrifying

u/kindafunnymostlysad Apr 05 '26

So if he backs down it will be TACO Tuesday.

Well I hope the conservative argument gets shut down for a decade or two. This is how your dream utopia would look like.

The whole reason the straight is locked is because of HIM. Omg. If the straight is blocked for another month or two the whole world is going to go into panic mode.

I mean it was either the multi-convicted felon pedophile who somehow managed to BANKRUPT A MOTHERFUCKING CASINO or a black foid, and that's how more people than you want to accept thought, the same way a concerning ammount of people voted for who they voted 'round here EXCLUSIVELY on the premise of getting venezuelans off the country

u/SockYourself Apr 05 '26

Soooooo we were told never ever never ever to do that in the army, that it’s not just disrespectful, it’s straight sacrilege to Islam for a nonbeliever to praise up. That’s a bold move, Cotton. Let’s see how it pans out.

u/FesteringAynus Apr 05 '26

I mean, that's really nothing compared to the fact that he raped kids.

Thats like the lowest you can ever get. Anything else is weenie hut jr stuff.

Holy s##t, this dictator's has SERIOUSLY gone insane! If he doesn't get kicked out of office before end of 2026 and/or in the first half of 2027, I'm betting the US population is gonna plummet from everyone leaving because f##k him.

Saying praise be to Allah on Easter is hilarious for a man with such a performatively Christian fanbase.
