Rick Wilson: The Only Thing Trump Obliterated Is The Truth

It’s always the same movie with Donald Trump. Same clunky script. Same overacting. Same goddamn ending. He opens with fireworks, chest-thumping, and the subtlety of a meth-addled rhinoceros, but when the smoke clears, the big, beautiful explosion he promised turns out to be a firecracker in a trash can.

Mission: Accomplished in Iran, a geopolitical fantasy where Trump personally crafts an OPLAN of a B-2 strike so earth-shatteringly awesome that it allegedly vaporized Iran’s nuclear capability in one glorious orgy of American might. He swaggered to the microphones and his Dollar Store social media platform like a C-grade Bond villain, declaring the “total obliteration” of Iran’s nuclear program. All caps. All lies.

Before any intelligence assessment was even a gleam in the eye of some smart DIA and Stratcom intel officers, Trump declared Iran’s nuclear program “totally obliterated.”

It was Trump’s version of Trump’s version of BDA, but instead of Battle Damage Assessment, it’s Bullshit Delusion Always.

1. This line of Wilson's is perfect

"No matter what, he was going to declare total victory. It’s as ludicrous as the claims that he’s 6’4” and 225lbs, that he won the 2020 election, or that he’s ever given a woman an orgasm."

Priceless.

2. The centrifuges, if even touched, will be rebuilt and moved to another hole and not stop short of weapon's grade again.

Delay, yes. Defeat, far from total. There missiles are highly unlikely to be survivable enough against most targets Iran would want to hit. So, coming to a port near you, a possibly primitive dirty bomb in a shipping container and the spiral of Mid East violence ratchets up one more all too predictable step. Probably won't be on Trump's watch, but will be he and Bibi's fault.

7. Obliterated

Trump boasted with words overstated,
Claimed Iran was "fully obliterated."
But the nukes are still there,
Just singed by hot air—
Like Pete Hegseth when he's inebriated.

Trump bragged, "I obliterated!"—bold claim,
But the nukes mostly walked off the flame.
A few months' delay?
That's a win? Okay...
Like Trump U—a school in just name.

Trump crowed, “They’re obliterated, folks!”
But the damage? Just singed some key spokes.
The nukes took a hit,
But not quite a split—
It’s like claiming you cooked with cold yolks.

8. The subtlety of a meth-addled rhinoceros

I kinda knew exactly was Rick Wilson was gonna say, but I'm glad I got that far.

He does have a way with words.

9. He did that years ago

That is all
