Trump lashes out most fiercely when he feels cornered, which might explain his recent outbursts & ultimatum to Iran. While not the 1st US president to flout international law, Trump would be the 1st to advertise it ahead of time on a social-media site he owns. https://www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/2026/04/trump-remarks-truth-social-iran/686707/?gift=x6I35CmlyurJvh0nRmGtwyPPYDamIg55g-rEZPgAuic&utm_source=copy-link&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=share

I try really hard not to be a linguistic prescriptivist - I know how obnoxious it is - but I WISH we were doing a better job of holding on to the flout/flaunt distinction
