This week the whole of nations across the globe told Trump to go “Eff” himself. Newly elected, he tossed tariffs out at anyone and everyone he could, railing against the inequity of global trade. Canada and Mexico, our closest neighbors and long-time friends, were threatened and bullied as well as fellow NATO countries.
Trump proclaimed America was doing too much for too many and “America First” was tattooed on his forehead.
Things descended into Hell.
When the European countries began not only releasing the Epstein Files, but also punishing those in them, Trump began to sweat, and he also began waging war. His quickie invasion of Venezuela and the illegal and immoral kidnapping of the president of that country, puffed Trump up like a schoolyard bully. Nations would tremble at his name.
Trump spend a lot of time and tweets telling people Obama would attack Iran to cover for being a bad president. Then Trump turned around and attacked Iran, telling everyone who would listen and more than a few who didn’t want to hear the sound of his voice that Iran’s nuclear program had been completely destroyed and it would take years and years to rebuild.
But the Epstein Files began to build attention and Trump’s name was mentioned so often it seemed like Epstein might have been working for Trump.
So Trump attacked Iran again.
Trump was looking for another Venezuela. He got Nam in the sand. Iran attacked in all directions, sending missiles after anyone who wasn’t an enemy of their enemy. They stopped oil from leaving the Middle East and American gas prices spiked upward quickly.
The man who promised gas at two bucks a gallon could soon see a half gallon go for more than that.
And things were worsening by the moment. The aircraft carrier Gerald R Ford arrived without functioning toilets. A fire broke out in a laundry room destroying the bedding of hundreds of soldiers. The toilets are clogged with tee shirts and debris, fueling the rumor the sailors aboard the Ford are sabotaging the ship so they can go home.
Trump cried for help from allies to help make the waters in the Middle East safer for oil tankers and was met with stoney faced glares from the men and women he once threatened with tariffs.
Now, back home, with the midterms eight months away and counting, gas prices are still rising, our military is in a war no one knows how to end, and Trump cannot string together a coherent sentence.
The price of gas will get him even if the war he claimed Harris would start if she was elected, is somehow stopped. Crops are not being planted this spring because of fuel costs and they will not be harvested in the fall. Food prices and fuel prices at all time highs as winter closes in is going to hurt millions of Americans.
And the Epstein Files are not going away. It’s looking worse and worse for Trump and his wars are not distracting anyone.
Trump may tuck tail and run from his war in Iran, but if things get worse over there, he may have to hope his impeachment due to the Epstein Files distracts voters from the war he cannot extract himself from.
Take Care,
Mike
Trump wants to put his name on everything except all the mentions in the Epstein files.
And eventually he will want his name erased from any mention of his attack, excursion, incursion, police action, friendly negotiations, winning the first day and peaceful tourist vist into Iran.
He is so worn out that it’s another four day weekend at one of his golf clubs at the taxpayer’s expense.
Buzz, I think his luck is running out. He’s got a crippled carrier out there, 5000 Marines who do not want to die fighting his war, and four dollar a gallon gas.
The end is near.
The interesting thing about Iran, is that the problem that the circus peanut believes about them is a result of treason committed by Reagan. If one remembers the hostage issue during Carter’s term, one needs to realize that Reagan’s team negotiated, as private citizens, with Iran to hold the hostages until Ronnie was elected. In return, they would receive weapons and spare parts.
Part of that agreement was also to help the Ayatollah take control of Iran over the moderate elected faction in office at the time. Had the moderates been able to stay in control, and a democracy remained in place, things could be quite different and any issue with Iran over the past few decades would not exist.

CAI, I had never heard this said openly but I had always suspected it.
Every single word out of Trump’s mouth is either a lie or projection….or, in some cases, both.
That is certainly a fact, Rockalilly!
I’d still like to see him and his entire administration of bootlicking sycophants at the Hague on trial for crimes against humanity. A firing squad is too good for them. A good ole public hanging would be in order. I want to to see the shock on their smug faces when the realization hits that they have to answer for the shit they’ve done.
Chick, I hope when you see that look on their faces we’re standing shoulder to shoulder.
It would be impossible to give this enough up-votes.
