Senior Iranian officials are using Twitter to hint at threats against President Trump’s properties — including his Mar-a-Lago Club resort in Florida and Trump Tower in Manhattan — over the killing of Iran’s top military commander.

Hesameddin Ashena, a top adviser to Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, tweeted a link to a Forbes magazine video that listed the properties, none of which is fortified to withstand a military attack, along with a quote from the late Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.

it sounds like Bob is going to attack! It made me laugh, which is a good thing.

However, it will be extremely unsurprising if that happens. Anyone who has ever seen or heard Trump speak knows that his entire sense of self is tied up in things that have his name on them. So, attacking one of 'his' buildings? No brainer.

I wrote this yesterday:

My sister and I were joking that Iran should hack Trump properties

It would be fairly harmless, but send a message. Hack reservation system in hotels and golf properties.
It would be funny IMO.

Of course I'm not advocating for this... it's just a joke (incase the CIA etc are reading)

Trump is so insecure and paranoid, he'll make the military and intelligence services fall over themselves to protect his properties. Even if they turn up evidence this is just rhetorical bluster or even psy-ops against Trump, he won't believe it.

I think all other world leaders have his number. Two can play at thedistract and disorient game. And I have a feeling that he'll discover that conservative media is nothing compared to what is coming for him.
