I can build that for him for a cool 250 billion. I’m willing to guarantee 0% penetration of short range rockets launched by Hezbollah from anywhere in Lebanon.
That’s outrageous! I’ll do it for 249 billion!
Honestly, I’ll do it for a hundred bucks.
There already is one. There are aound 100 Patriot missile batteries in the US. As usual Trump knows nothing about the subject he talks about.
To be fair, they told him about this in dozens of briefings, but he was always distracted by his Happy Meal toy.
What do they need 100 Patriot batteries for? Are they that scared of the Mexicans and Canadians?
People in red states need jobs, it’s a welfare program.
Also, billionaires get richer and can own colonies, but don’t look behind the curtain.
Could have shortened the title significantly, and reuse it daily.
“Trump speaks, experts say that’s ridiculous”
I’m sure a tinfoil hat can be arranged.
To protect the is from rockets from… Canada?
To protect him & his billionaire buddies from his fellow Americans.
TBF if the don gets in power that might eventually become a real concern.
AND MEXICO WILL PAY FOR IT!!!
/s
Do you think he realizes it’s not LITERALLY a dome?
Simpsons did it!
“I was elected to lead, not to read.”
Number 3!
To protect us from whom? I thought his love affairs with Putin and Kim Jong would protect us from anyone that might want to attack the US?
Isn’t this just Reagan’s “Star Wars” program under a different name?
Yup - anyone who is likely to try and hit the US is far enough away is going to be using long range ballistic missiles, and it’s been pretty conclusively demonstrated that it’s technically feasible to intercept a single missile, it sure isn’t reliable enough to be a reasonable deterrent or cheap enough to build enough launchers to give you any amount of coverage.
Iron dome works because Israel is small, with a concentrated population, and is being attacked with small, short range rockets that are easy to spot on radar - that isn’t a likely scenario for the US to face
Well, we’re probably working on that with the SM-3. They took out a satellite with it so hitting a mid course ICBM shouldn’t be too hard.
They can take out an ICBM. It can’t take out all the ICBMs.
Trump thinks we are in the Middle East
Just East of the Midwest duh.
Pretty sure we have multiple anti missile systems deployed already.
Also, who’s shooting missiles at America right now?
I mean, other than North Korea, but that’s like a 10 year old with a water rocket trying to blow up the school from across town.
Is he going to occupy Mexico too? Maybe some modern manifest destiny?
It’s called the Atlantic/Pacific oceans sport
