President Donald Trump’s tweet about “World War Six” on Wednesday immediately sent people on social media into a meltdown.
Trump tweeted “we would be in World War Six by now” if he had listened to his former national security adviser John Bolton, who reportedly makes the Democrats’ case for his impeachment in his forthcoming book The Room Where It Happened.
For a guy who couldn’t get approved for the Ambassador to the U.N. years ago, couldn’t get approved for anything since, “begged” me for a non Senate approved job, which I gave him despite many saying “Don’t do it, sir,” takes the job, mistakenly says “Libyan Model” on T.V., and..

....many more mistakes of judgement, gets fired because frankly, if I listened to him, we would be in World War Six by now, and goes out and IMMEDIATELY writes a nasty & untrue book. All Classified National Security. Who would do this?

Critics reminded Trump that he hired Bolton in the first place and suggested his posts showed he feared his former aide being called to testify against him in his Senate impeachment trial.
One person responded: “So, you would have had us fighting in FOUR more world wars before you figured out what the problem was?? For such a great leader, you sure do pick some winners!”
“I woke up to World War Six trending. How long was I asleep?” another fired back as the term went viral.

I saw that “World War Six” was trending and I honestly thought a new Call of Duty video game got released.

Silly me.
It’s just Trump and his tertiary syphilis vomiting psychotic paranoid maniacal delusional incriminating batshit lunacy all over Twitter again.
Carry on.
Remember Republicans this is your president, who’s blaming someone else for World War Six when he’s probably going to be the cause of World War Three pic.twitter.com/1MLeBUsEgH

You made a highly unqualified guy a National Security Advisor?!? You see how that makes you a complete and total moron, yes?

There was no lower position you could graciously fit this guy in, against your best wise and unquestioned judgement? Mar-a-Lago bellhop? Stephen Miller’s armband dry cleaner? Mike Pompeo’s milkshake stirrer? You instead made him NSA?

FWIW, World War Six is between the US and NPR.

When something as stupid as World War Six is trending, 99 percent of the time it’s because of something idiotic that Trump said.

1) He hired the guy with all these blemishes on his record
2) He kept him on in spite of the mistakes
3) He just admitted he'll give away an important post just because someone begs the right way.
World War Six indeed. https://t.co/DGioRaAK0l
World War Six? Hmm. You aren't very good at math are you? Your #TurdReich travesty is a tragicomedy of errors, idiocy and incompetence. What a cretinous, criminal cockwaffle you are, an embarrassment not of riches, but of poorly educated peons proselytizing your propaganda. Sad!

If John Bolton was as bad a choice for National Security Adviser as Trump tweeted this morning--someone who could have gotten us into World War Six--then Trump should resign immediately. He didn't just put our national security at risk in Ukraine. He's doing it every single day.

1) Inserts lying “tell” by calling himself “sir”
2) Twitter trashes his latest public critic
3) “World War Six” - childlike, immature logic and reasoning
4) “Begging” invective meant to subordinate someone who, in reality, has far more merit pic.twitter.com/1UxlslxqVc

I can help. I'm Adjunct Professor at Trump Univ MNT Dept of Mathematics & Numberry Things. Species Trumpus-Corruptus doesn't know numbers. Math Professor Emeritus Rick Perry was able to teach Trump a universal number 'Oops'. Any number larger than 2 is Oops. Hence World War Six
