After weeks of covering updates on the Iran war from the Trump administration — and Trump’s own missives on social media — I keep coming back to the same impression: words have no meaning.
Words have always been twisted by the MAGA crew; their definitions have always been stretched and strained. But now, six weeks after the US started bombing Iran, days after the president wrote “Open the F—IN’ Strait, you crazy bastards” on Truth Social and only a few short hours since he promised “a whole civilization will die tonight,” the language has truly suffered some grave and irreversible casualties.
