I will buy bottomless drinks for life for the White House reporter who asks Trump this exact question:
“Which country does Hezbollah operate in, who leads it, and why is it a threat?”
100% serious. If I run out of money to buy you alcoholic beverages, I’ll start pawning stuff

I have to shout out to my muse on this, @MattNegrin, who has been tirelessly advocating for this question to be asked almost since day one
P.S. bonus fancy dinners if you keep pressing specific parts of the question with follow-ups when he tries to ramble his way around a response. I think we’ve established there are funds available and with all seriousness it is in the public interest, we might do a war with them.
Update: you all made this tweet go viral so it probably won’t work; someone close to Trump has likely already seen it and last thing I need is to go out on this limb and have him shoot back a blithe summary of Hizb’allah’s complex role in the region. Boo to that but yay no war
P.S. I do, however, encourage any White House reporter inspired by my whimsical bet to consult @mehdirhasan about a certain Wakanda question. I’d say more but let’s keep that deep state so it has a chance of actually working 🙃
.@MattNegrin I tried. Sorry homie, the dream will never die
UPDATE: I got a message today from a WH reporter, who was told on background that the administration is on to me and Trump prepped for the question, which is hilarious on many levels, but if the POTUS knows what Hezbollah is now because of me and @MattNegrin, I’ll take it! 🤪
