Donald Trump has asserted total U.S. air dominance over Iran, stating, “Our planes are just ruling the sky” and that Iranian anti-aircraft defenses have been “annihilated”. He has described the military’s capabilities as having “unparalleled firepower”, allowing U.S. forces to operate freely, including “roaming the skies over Tehran”.
We know what that’s called, right?
And apparently, this chowder head was also lying (surprise!) when he said the following…
Oops!
From AP News – 4/3/2026:

A U.S. A-10 aircraft has been hit by Iranian air defenses, Iranian state media reported, citing Iran’s Army public relations office.

One crew member has been rescued after an American aircraft was shot down in Iran, U.S. and Israeli officials said Friday on condition of anonymity. Iranian TV had said at least one crew member ejected, and urged Iranians to deliver any “enemy pilot” to police. Iranian state media claimed in a post on X that Iran’s military shot down a U.S. F-15E Strike Eagle. This was the first U.S. aircraft lost in Iran during this war. – apnews.com -4/3/2026

And if there was any doubt what these shysters want your tax dollars for…well, it ain’t for you or your brethren’s welfare…
And in case you didn’t hear, Trump’s spiritual advisor is comparing Dumpy’s life to that of Jesus Christ! Clarification is needed as anyone with half a wit to them knows that Donny is one of Beelzebub’s court asshole clowns and groom of the stool.
Donald Trump‘s personal spiritual adviser has sparked backlash after comparing the billionaire president’s life to that of Jesus Christ’s, during an Easter lunch event at the White House.
Paula White‑Cain, a televangelist who has served as Trump’s spiritual adviser across both his presidencies, used her Wednesday address to draw parallels between the legal battles and assassination attempts he has faced and the trials endured by Christ.
With the president standing behind her, and to whom she turned to address personally, White-Cain said: “Jesus taught so many lessons through his death, burial and resurrection. He showed us great leadership, great transformation requires great sacrifice.
“And Mr President, no one has paid the price like you have paid the price. It almost cost you your life.
“You were betrayed and arrested and falsely accused. It’s a familiar pattern that our lord and savior showed us,” she said.
“But it didn’t end there for him, and it didn’t end there for you,” she said.
“God always had a plan: On the third day, he rose, he defeated evil, he conquered death, hell and the grave. And because he rose, we all know that we can rise. And sir, because of his resurrection, you rose up,” she added.
“Because he was victorious, you are victorious. And I believe that the Lord said to tell you this: because of his victory, you will be victorious in all you put your hands to,” she said, finishing to applause.
The president responded by smiling and said “thank you”.
And Jesus wept!
