President Donal Trump has reached a nadir. He always had (and most likely will have) his MAGA base of 35% of American support. You know, the shills like Laura Ingram, Hannity, et.al., but what gave him his real power was the shift in 2024 of a significant portion of the moveable electorate (including myself) who believed, despite his many flaws and the utter foolishness of the Democratic Party , he retained enough sensibilities to give him one last 4 years to govern.
What started out with a bang has suddenly turned into a debacle of Narcissism and, worse, moral confusion in his attempt to look through the lens of a business deal and think he can deal with political adversaries like Putin, Xi Jinping, the IRGC, Qatar, Edrogen, on and on, in terms of profit and loss.
I find myself putting aside my cognitive dissonance long enough to see a truth I tried hard to avoid. Like nearly everything in his life in business, he uses people who latch onto him like a railroad car to an engine going to the same destination. Until, you have served his purpose, decouples you in the desert while he goes his merry way to nowhere but his own grandiosity. What fools these mortals be.
Case in point, Israel, basically his only ally left in the world, doing the dirty work in eliminating or least severely weakening the Iranian threat to the world. He sees an opening to sweep in at much lower risk to “rescue” the world of this terrible threat to civilization to grab a Nobel Peace Prize for a bargain. Oh oh, didn’t think this through that our enemy gets a vote and he tries to bale leaving, you know, Netanyahu and Israel, who follows Zelensky and Ukraine, in his wake.
World politics is a bitch, and you are a whore, Mr. President.
But for the fact that I recognized what a disaster trump is long before you did, I agree with everything you say. Tough time for Israel, the US, and the west—or at least western values, since nobody besides Israel and Ukraine actually seems to be willing to fight to preserve them.
I’m still waiting to see how this ends (it’s not over yet and Trump often surprises), but have that sinking feeling. Trump emboldened the IGRC, that much seems true.
I am glad that Israel cut the strings… would you mind looking again at the Picture of the cabinet Meeting? Are those name cards… and why? Has Trump one too? Has everybody a MAGA cap infront of them?? WHO wears a black spandex blause to a cabinet Meeting ??? They Look like fools, sorry. The topic of the article is serious… but seeing the picture, I couldn`t stop laughing. 🤷♀️
For anyone interested in the actual state of negotiations between the us and Iran the NYTimes had a pretty definitive article out today. The big holdup is Trump refusing to release Iranian assets because it would make him look bad. Something that had already been agreed to.
It doesn’t appear that Israeli interests are anywhere mentioned:
