ANTHRAX drummer Charlie Benante has implied that President Donald Trump was thinking of his own political future when he authorized the killing of Qasem Soleimani, the commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps Quds Force.
Trump personally ordered the killing by airstrike of Iran’s top general, who was viewed by the United States as a ruthless killer.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi released a statement saying that Trump ordered the airstrike “without the consultation of Congress.”
Benante suggested on Friday that Trump may have ordered the killing distract the public from impeachment proceedings.
He tweeted out the definition of “distraction” as “a thing that prevents someone from giving full attention to something else” and added the hashtags #chooch and #iran.
He later tweeted out a link to this story after it was initially published and included the comment: “Clinton did the same thing btw”
Charlie‘s tweet was met with a mixed response from his Twitter followers, one of whom wrote:
“Yes Charlie he was hoping that our embassy was attacked and an American killed in the region so he could pull off this ‘distraction’ ”
Another added: “Orange head is a corrupt lunatic. Period.”
A third said: “Wow, must have missed the part where they attacked Americans and killed a few while they were at it. We should just let that slide though, right?”
A fourth tweeted: “We are in Deep Sh*t!! #chooch #WorstPresidentEver #WorldWarThree”
A fifth wrote: “Yes, he arranged for the embassy to be attacked to distract from being impeached for doing nothing wrong. Try again and next time, don’t be so silly.”
A sixth said: “My cats litter box has more brains than Charlie. My god what a dumb a*s.”
