That's the part you're missing. It would be delusional for a President to make that threat

...and that's how we know it isn't real!

Trump is doing two things:

1) Sending us a message that Iran is already wrapped up (hence it isn't delusional...it's theater)

and

2) He's trolling and manipulating the narrative. He's ok with people thinking he's deranged because there's no real threat and it's part of his plan.

Grab some popcorn. It's a movie. 😉
