Hello, Danger Corps! It’s Tuesday, August 18, 2026, and Trump’s “quick” war with Iran has entered its gas-is-expensive-and-nobody-knows-how-this-ends phase.
The latest negotiating window expired without a deal, Trump says no talks with Iran are planned, and the fight over the Strait of Hormuz is still threatening shipping and global oil supplies. Meanwhile, a new Reuters/Ipsos poll has Trump’s approval down to 33%, the lowest of his presidency, while 80% of Americans expect the war to drag on. Apparently, “no new endless wars” had an asterisk the size of an aircraft carrier. And because one constitutional crisis is never enough, Disney and ABC are suing Trump’s FCC, alleging it launched a retaliatory campaign against the network’s speech and broadcast licenses.
While we wait we thought you could use a laugh!! 😂
Below, we’ve collected some of the funniest and most dangerously accurate memes about Trump’s Iran war, the rising price of his incompetence, and the absolute circus surrounding it. Think of it as emotional armor for surviving another day in the timeline nobody ordered.
Let’s get dangerous!
OMG Danger Corps we are so excited! We’re going LIVE for the first time since early June. Join us at 5pm PST this Thursday. We will be live on YouTube and Substack.
Also, Senator Ron Wyden (Oregon) is joining us live “in-studio” to discuss his office’s investigation into the banks tied to Jeffrey Epstein. It’s going to be intense.
📞Margaret has some good points to share about the unfairness of this unwanted war📞
The Internet Just Absolutely DESTROYED MAGA
We’re trying to fill the world with laughter, courage and hope, but we need your help to do it.
We believe laughter and activism are two of the most powerful tools we have in the fight for democracy. People deserve more than an endless stream of reasons to feel angry, afraid or helpless. They deserve a place where they can laugh, hear the truth, find their people and remember that their voices still matter.
That is what we are building with The Dangerous Ones.
This has never been just a show to us, and you have never been just another member of an audience. You are part of the Danger Corps, a growing family of people who believe this country is still worth fighting for and that we do not have to surrender our joy while we fight for it.
We want to spread that feeling as far as possible. We want people everywhere to feel informed, entertained, empowered and a little less alone. That is truly the reason why we wake up every morning, drive down to the studio and smile as they turn on the cameras.
The most powerful way to support The Dangerous Ones is to become a paid subscriber. Your subscription directly helps us produce more episodes, reach new audiences and grow an independent pro-democracy community that cannot be bought, bullied or silenced.
If we have ever made you laugh during a difficult day, helped you feel less alone or reminded you that your voice can make a difference, please become a paid subscriber today.
Help us bring dangerous laughter, honest information and meaningful activism to people who desperately need all three.
We want you with us. Let’s spread some laughter and get into good trouble together. 💙
Warmly,
Jim, Tiffany & Nick
Great memes, great talk!!
TRUMP, I know more about war than any General! Reminds me of Mussolini, shaking his head up and down, hands on waist! Right before they hung him, upside down!
